Visit the Graeme Naylor Museum
One of the best kept secrets in the Lowveld is the fabulous Graeme Naylor Museum, located in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. It’s packed with interesting and fascinating displays that unlock many secrets of the natural history of the area. One display is devoted to the famous white lions of the Timbavati - only when you stand next to one of these mythical creatures do you realize how big they are. Another display showcases the dozens of species of freshwater fish found in South Africa - who would have thought you’d find so many species in such an arid area? Another fascinating display that shows how elephants go through many sets of molars in a lifetime, as well as a huge variety of spectacularly beautiful moths and butterflies. These displays and many other are all there waiting for you to “discover.”
