Discover the Timeless Beauty of Timbavati Game Reserve

Nestled in the heart of South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park, the Timbavati Game Reserve is a premier destination for those seeking an authentic and exclusive safari experience. Known for its rich biodiversity and commitment to wildlife conservation, Timbavati offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in nature’s wonders, all within a pristine and unspoiled environment.

Where is Timbavati Game Reserve?

Located in the northeastern part of South Africa’s Mpumalanga Province, the Timbavati Game Reserve borders the Kruger National Park in the Limpopo region. Spanning over 66,000 hectares (more than 160,000 acres) of diverse landscapes, including vast savannahs, riverine forests, and scrubland, the reserve is situated around 450 kilometers (280 miles) northeast of Johannesburg. This exceptional location provides access to an untouched wilderness, perfect for an unforgettable safari adventure.

What Wildlife Can You Expect in the Timbavati?

Timbavati is renowned for being home to the Big Five—lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. Among the many unique attractions, the rare white lions are a highlight, but the reserve also offers incredible sightings of other predators, including wild dogs, cheetahs, and hyenas.

Aside from the Big Five, visitors will encounter a wide range of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, hippos, and numerous antelope species. Birdwatchers will also be delighted by the reserve’s diverse birdlife, with species such as Secretary Birds, Martial Eagles, and Lilac-breasted Rollers frequently spotted soaring above.
