Timbavati Safari Lodge
|
| Physical address........ Orpen Road |
Minutes away from the Orpen Gate.
Only minutes from the Orpen Gate into the Kruger Park, Timbavati’s ethnic painted en suite rondavels offer a very comfortable night in the wilds. Here, you share your bathroom with small wild creatures instead of wild party animals (but if that makes you nervous, turn off the lights and they’ll beetle someplace else). All rooms have mozzie nets and ceiling fans to keep you cool and infuriate hungry mozzies. Yay. People 1, Mozzies 0. The lodge makes a great base for self-drive travellers who want to be at the Park’s gates at dawn, as well as travellers wanting to discover what the bush is Really About. They offers day and night drives, morning and evening walks and can book (or give information on) activities in the area. Safari by foot, horseback or elephant, visit the cheetahs at the Kapama Project or take in the animal rehab centre at Moholoholo, get eyeball to eyeball with a giraffe on a microlight flight or float away in a hot-air balloon. If you can’t decide what to do, get them to create a designer package just for you. Then after an exhilarating day out, find the perfect cure for a dry throat and hot body at the bush bar and pool...
