Location

Located directly on the picturesque Nhlaralumi River in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, the region forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa. This prime location allows guests to seamlessly experience the impressive biodiversity and unspoilt bushveld of the Kruger National Park. Timbavati borders directly on the Kruger National Park, allowing animals to roam freely between the areas. The camp therefore offers excellent game viewing, including the Big Five, in an exclusive and private setting that is off the main tourist routes of the Kruger National Park.
