The area known as the Lowveld incorporates an area rich in diversity with terrific game reserves, beautiful scenery, excellent safari and country lodges, good tourism infrastructure with airports catering to regional and charter carriers flying to the area. The central sector of Kruger National Park is one of the areas that fall within the lowveld and as such make this a prime tourism area.

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.The Timbavati Nature Reserve is one of 4 truly independent reserves bordering on the Kruger National Park, that have been incorporated into the park. There are no fences and as such the game has no barriers to entry. The expansion of the park to include the privately owned reserves has been a tremendous boost for the safari industry. The lodges within the Timbavati, which is privately owned, offer superb safari experiences rivalling some of the best experiences you will get in southern Africa

The Timbavati, first came to prominence through the birth of what became known as 'The white lions of the Timbavati'. This pride and their offspring were a genetic throwback and were so unusual they were eventually captured and put in zoo's all over the world. Today their offspring are alive and well even though the pigment is no longer visible. The Timbavati is world class reserve with regular sightings of all Africa's large game.

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.

 All Safari Lodges have the same packages ie Full Board ie All Meals and Game Drives Inlcuded. Some offer bush walks, local village visits, and other extras, depending on the Lodge.

For some lodges, one can fly into a main airport, then road transfer to the Lodge, or others have private runways closer to the lodge itself.

Regarding the quality of meals and service at a Safari Lodge...I have to admit I like to eat..the service/ variety at a Game Lodge regarding meals, is usally a highlite of a trip.One cannot go out and eat when you are at a Lodge, so they know  how to keep you happy. Private game drives, bushwalks, child care, can be prearranged.

If you have a interest in special theme trips such as wild dogs, rhino concervation darting, leopard research, we offer those trips as well.
