Amazing hidden gem in the Timbavati Reserve. We return as often as we can. Andries, the ranger, is one of the most knowledgeable people I have met and he is an amazing tracker as well! The lodge is set along a river and is a real home away from home with majestic views. Staff are brilliant and attentive.The hosts, Jan and Annelé, are wonderful and very accommodating. Eagerly awaiting our next visit!

What an awesome Safari camp. The staff can't do enough for you. The Ranger we had Pat was awesome. We saw the big 5 plus wild dog on a kill. The camp is on a river so you can game view from the porch animals coming to drink. The rooms are a little dated but comfortable and clean. If you can get on the booking list worth a visit.
