Day 1-3

A Big Five Safari

A Big Five Safari

Arrive at Hoedspruit Airport where you’ll be met and transferred to Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp in the Timbavati Reserve. Check in for 2 nights on a full-board basis with game drives and guided walks.

Tucked away in the private Timbavati Reserve, this lodge likes to introduce you to the Big Five country. Sharing a fenceless border with the Kruger Park itself as well as the other legendary private reserves, Timbavati is where lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopards are all regularly sighted. Your expert guides lead walking safaris as well as day and later afternoon 4X4 drives in search of them. The camp consists of 4 luxurious and spacious en-suite safari-style tents, each overlooking a beautiful dam with amazing views of the Drakensberg Mountains beyond. The elegant intimate tented camp accommodates only 8 guests, which is an added attraction.
