Bespoke safari experiences are yours for the enjoying at RockFig Safari Lodge, from game viewing, guided bush walks to tailored indoor and outdoor dining.
Game Viewing
Nothing beats seeing wildlife in their natural habitat, except perhaps knowledgeable curation from professional guides and trackers. Added to that, you will also get the real bush experience from the comfort of your zero-emission vehicle seat equipped with bespoke game viewers, binoculars, reference books for added insight, blankets for when the air becomes a little chilly, as well as a selection of choice refreshments bound to keep your energy levels up as you take in all the natural splendour that RockFig Safari Lodge has to offer.
Not only is the safari vehicle eco-friendly, its spaciousness allows for plenty of room for camera equipment or jackets for when layering up is needed.
Animals to be spotted on your game drive include elephants, giraffes, bird species, lions, kudu, leopards and rhinoceroses. Thanks to the continual radio communication between guides and trackers throughout Timbavati, guests will always be in the know when it comes to special sightings in the nature reserve.
Bush Walks
Getting up close and personal with the magnificent Timbavati landscape on foot is a special kind of memory in the making. All your senses will awake to the excitement that comes with knowing that you are walking along paths traversed by majestic animals among them the Big Five. Rest assured that all bush walks are accompanied by highly skilled trackers and guides, who will readily interpret the sounds and signs of the bush fauna that call Timbavati home.
These guided safari walks allow guests to appreciate the smaller animals such as the aardvark, pangolin, and the African wild dog known to populate the area. It is also an opportunity to develop your ability to identify different seeds, leaves and other plant life associated with traditional medicine.
Another interesting skill you may pick up on your safe safari walk is the ability to identify an animal by its droppings. This insight has the inclusive allure to attract young children as well as adults of all ages.
Whatever you discover on you guided walks, the slower pace and al fresco opportunity to observe nature in all its forms at eye level is bound to intrigue the eco-tourist in search of a different kind of thrill.
Be sure to pack in a pair of comfy walking shoes and sunblock.
