Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp, hotel in Timbavati Game Reserve

Featuring mountain views, Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp in Timbavati Game Reserve features accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar.

Stunning location in front of a large dam/pool populated by hippos, not a puddle of a waterhole like many lodges. The camp is simple, 2 tented rooms either side of an open main lodge building leading onto a terrace with small swimming pool and overlooking the water. But what else do you need ? Small, intimate, and stamped with understated luxury the camp is exclusive. As a family we occupied 3 of the rooms and had the lodge to ourselves for 3 of our 6 nights. The 4 tented rooms were a perfect size and beautifully decorated. The food was delicious, great attention was paid to portion sizes, presentation and all our dietary needs and requests carefully addressed (peanut allergy) The staff are lovely, approachable, always on hand and very attentive. Charlie and Mish, the managing couple along with Courtney make you feel as though you this is your home. The guiding experience was probably my best ever, and thats after 25 years of safari, we had started going on courses as we had heard it all so many times before, but Charlies breadth of knowlege is astounding, he is a master of timing, keeps you engaged and doesn't overload you, I was learning information that I had never heard before. Needless to say the sightings were amazing; leopard, lion, wild dog, many birds and some fascinating small stuff as well. The traversing rights mean that there are very few vehicles in your area and some drives we didn't see any other vehicles at all. The game viewer seats 8. The middle seat is converted for storage so no one ever has to sit in the middle. We absolutely loved it and will return.

Umlani Bushcamp, hotel in Timbavati Game Reserve

Umlani Bushcamp is a classic African safari camp in Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, part of Greater Kruger National Park. Game drives, bush walks and meals are included in the rate.

Wow, just wow! Umlani exceeded our expectations on every level. The camp is just charming - rustic yet extremely comfortable with wildlife roaming freely through it. All the staff were warm and welcoming and made you feel relaxed and at home immediately. They go out of their way to make your stay as special as possible. Our room was lovely with a solar plug socket to charge our phone and camera. We also had an open bathroom and you could shower under the stars! Every meal was delicious with all dietary requirements catered for. Our game drives were fantastic. Elvis and Lucky made sure we had a unique experience on each one. The Timbavati is rich in game and beautiful birds. We saw everything we hoped to and more including wild dog and a honey badger. We also had an unforgettable encounter with a huge herd of elephant during our morning coffee at the dam. We plucked up the courage to stay one night in their tree house. We were so glad we did - it was just magical. Umlani is a special place and we definitely hope to go back.

Makumu Private Game Lodge, hotel in Timbavati Game Reserve

Makumu Private Game Lodge is situated in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, 36 km from Kapama Game Reserve. Hoedspruit is 32 km away. Free WiFi is available. The accommodation has a seating area.

This place is truly special. It feels like a family home, a luxurious one in the middle of the African bush. The interior is truly African and very tasteful. Everything is spotlessly clean. The food is very good. The service excellent. The safari tours (happening twice a day) are well organised and professional. The ranger can literally answer any questions you might have about flora and fauna. Their expertise makes you feel very safe, and the vehicles are in top shape. All in all it could not have been any better. Recommend a stay of at least 4 nights.

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.
