The airy lodges at the Motswari Private Game Reserve feature thatched roofs, each equipped with air conditioning and unrivalled savannah views from large wooden decks. They combine traditional décor with a designer touch and include a lounge and bathrooms with bathtub.

Motswari is a really luxurious place to stay.. the cabins are beautiful, the facilities are great, the food is fantastic quality. The location is also perfect.. good variety of areas to explore and there always seemed to some exciting game to find within reach every day. But what makes Motswari really stand out are the people. The staff are all so welcoming, friendly, helpful and enthusiastic every day. The support staff look after you with anything you could need, and the guides and trackers are really knowledgeable and entertaining. Having been to multiple safari camps across various reserves in 3 different countries, if there was one camp I would return to again it would be Motswari. Also would highly recommend the Giraffes nest experience.. made for a very special night.

Sean, Magic, Tim, Grace, and the whole team were fantastic. The stay really did make our whole trip back home to South Africa. We loved the camp, the game drives, bush walk, hospitality, and incredible food. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the experience.

Kambaku Lodge is located in the heart of Timbavati Nature Reserve and has a waterhole which attracts members of the Big 5. Each of the rooms and chalets feature African décor and a private patio.

The four-poster beds are surrounded by mosquito nets and the bathrooms contain both a bath and shower. This eco-friendly lodge lights its rooms with lanterns at night, but also has solar operated electric sockets, ceiling fans and free Wi-Fi.

In my honest opinion, everything is great with Kambaku Safari Lodge. Food is excellent and exceeded my expectations, game drives are super worth it, and the guide and tracker will do their upmost to ensure you can see the big 5. And I manage to see them at least twice. Every single staff are really out to try to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. I also like the part when during brunch and dinner, one of the guides will be sitting down with everyone. It's a good way to ask them questions, learn more about the area, their experiences, what are being done to help protect the animals etc Gideon and Eric are among the best guides and tracker. Every time we spotted something, they just know how to position the vehicle to ensure you are in the best position to take pictures. Yes, you will not go wrong visiting this lodge

Guests sleep in traditional African reed and thatch huts created using local Shangaan tribal architecture. Umlani Bushcamp’s huts offers an en suite bathroom with open-air shower, mosquito netting over each bed and crisp white linens. Candle lanterns are used for evening light.

Everything! The location in the bush was amazing. The rustic facilities was exactly what we were hoping to experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They could not have done anything more for us. The food was amazing. And then, there were the daily excursions into the bush. Again, amazing. Our Ranger and Tracker were very knowledgeable about all that we were seeing. They did amazing tracking and driving to get us as close as possible to the free-roaming animals. Each ride had a special happening. We wanted to see an elephant. We saw a mother elephant playing and teaching her baby, 2-week old elephant. We wanted to see a lion. We saw over 20 lions, including being in the middle of a group roaring/talking to each other. We wanted to see a rhino. We saw 4 rhinos meeting in a group as a mother seemed to be teaching her babies.Each ride was exceptional.

In the heart of the Timbavati Game Reserve, the Simbavati River Lodge offers the chance of a face-to- face encounter with Africa’s incredibly varied wildlife from the lodge’s private viewing decks.

Each morning and evening, Simbavati Lodge offers game drives conducted by experienced rangers and trackers, providing the opportunity to photograph some of the reserve’s incredible array of wildlife that includes the 'big 5' - lions, leopards, rhino, buffalo and elephant.

Felt like a „home away from home“ from the first hello until goodbye. Great team, very nice tents, good food and (most important for this kind of holiday) incredible game drives. We saw a lot of animals and it was very nice that they not just concentrate on the big 5 but also told a lot about the bush, the birds and all the other small parts of nature. thanks again to our competent and very funny ranger Edward and the incredible tracker Nicholus.

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.
