millions of years, the Timbavati has remained untouched, retaining its
wild rugged character and is home to all of Africa's big game.

fireplace, a bar, an elevated loft area, an inside and outside dining area
and the ultimate al fresco experience - an open air boma. The camp
accommodates just sixteen guests and is ideal for hosting small gatherings
of family, friends, mini brain storming sessions and staff incentives. Our
professional armed rangers and trackers conduct all game drives in pursuit
of Africa's big five and other game, birds and reptiles. Daily walks are
encouraged, thus ensuring that the more fascinating aspects of our fauna
