Highly qualified rangers will take you out on guided game drives through the revered Timbavati where you will track the big five – and with any luck – spot the rare white lions that roam free within this reserve. The sheer abundance of game in the Timbavati is remarkable and it’s one of the most sought after safari destinations in the Greater Kruger. The reserve shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park, which means wildlife is free to roam throughout. This often means that new bloodlines are created within lion prides, leopards explore neighbouring territories and a wealth of other animals migrate across from the national park. On the grounds of the villa there is prolific birdlife
