There are a variety of Timbavati Safari options to choose from when planning a trip. Here is a list of the safari types available for the Timbavati budget traveller:

Timbavati Budget Lodge Safaris

Experience the magic of the Greater Kruger National Park, seeing the Big Five (and looking for the white lions!), immersing yourself in the soul-quenching quiet and beauty of the bush. On our budget lodge safaris, accommodation is in comfortable, traditional huts that blend into the bush.

With crisp white linen, mosquito nets and outdoor showers, you get to enjoy the wild in comfort.

Timbavati Budget Camping Safaris

Get back to nature on our wild camping safaris to Timbavati. This is storybook camping - in tents, in the wild. You can't get closer to the bush than this. Our camping safaris offer an authentic camping trip with campsites set up in the bush in this area that boasts the Big Five, a large diversity of antelope species, smaller predators, over 500 bird species and a huge diversity of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.

Accommodation is in Adventure Bow Tents which sleep two on comfortable mattresses. Bedding and towels are provided and bucket showers and bush toilets provide the 'bathroom' facilities. Food is cooked over the fire and light is provided by the stars (and torches/lamps). This is camping at its best.
