Activities

Twice daily game drives are conducted customised luxury game viewing vehicles. All drives are led by qualified professional guides and trackers. Tea, coffee and biscuits are served on morning drives. Canapés and sundowners are served on afternoon drives.

For avid photographers and specialist bird watching, a private guide and vehicle is the best way for you to set your own pace as you explore the reserve. Private safaris are also an excellent option for families with younger children.

Our underground hide – The Kings Warren – is perfectly positioned on the edge of the waterhole offering an eye-level, up-close wildlife viewing experience. The Kings Warren offers comfortable seating for up to 10 people, air conditioning, power points for charging devices, a refreshment station, vast windows with one-way photographic glass and two cameras streamed to flat screen TVs to warn photographers of wildlife approaching.

Game Walks through the bush take place just after breakfast, on request. Your knowledgeable ranger will guide you as you uncover this new aspect of the fauna and flora of the Timbavati Nature Reserve. You will be amazed to discover animal tracks, dung, insects and trees and how they all play a part in an intricate ecological web. For safety reasons, children under 16 years of age are not permitted on walks.
