Accommodation in Timbavati Game Reserve is as rich and varied as the wildlife that you can see here. The Timbavati lodges and camps pride themselves on their personalised service, delivered by experienced and passionate teams of professionals whose main goal is to ensure that your stay is a memorable one.

Home to the Big Five

Timbavati Game Reserve, home to lions, and the rest of the big five is also a wonderful reserve to observe some rich birdlife. Bone-dry through the winter months, the sandy river beds of Timbavati are transformed into brief torrents by the showers of summer.

The veld turns from drab khaki to viridian green almost overnight. In high summer, the migrants arrive in all their feathered glory: European rollers, yellow-billed kites, Diederik’s cuckoos and woodland kingfishers resplendent in their incandescent turquoise livery.

Here you can observe red-crested korhaan flying skyward as if propelled from a cannon, stall in flight as though shot, then plummet to earth with his undercarriage down. It’s one of the most astonishing and ludicrous mating rituals in the bush.
