World of Romance and Wonder
WHERE the honey and emerald colors of the Mopane woodlands meet the savanna of the Timbavati floodplain is another bushveld experience of unsurpassed wonder - a world of romance, excitement and luxury. Here in the Timbavati Game Reserve, the traveler finds a sanctuary for a breathtaking assemblage of animals and birds, including the Big Five, viewed either from an open vehicle, or on foot in the company of experienced rangers.
Bordering on the Kruger National Park, Timbavati consists of a number of private concessions, and as is the case at Sabi-Sand, no fences hinder the free movement of game between these reserves. This has made the area a paradise for travelers seeking a true African Safari.
With a choice of superb lodges offering every creature comfort, the adventurer is rewarded with an experience that will provide indelible memories - of the richness, warmth and magnitude of Africa and the hospitality of her peoples.
Here, one finds inspiration in nature and a time to replenish energy that is lost. This is also a safari for the soul. Here, the experience is not just of Africa's great creatures, but of gaining an insight and understanding into the holistic nature of the wilderness.
For this is where there is also a plethora of birds, smaller animals and reptiles. Some travelers find the greatest fascination in the smaller creatures - even little bugs can teach big things about this untamed corner of Africa.
Once again, Johannesburg makes the best point of departure to fly in on charter or scheduled airline, either directly to the lodge or to nearby Hoedspruit Airport, from where guests are transferred by road to the lodge. Another great place to be and to experience timeless Africa at her best. And don't forget to look long and hard at the night sky!
