Luxury Lodges · Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, South Africa
Kambaku Safari Lodge
Overview
The establishment of Kambaku Safari Lodge began, as most things do, with a simple idea: that our most memorable moments are those we share with others.
When we eat together, laugh together – when we travel together, we create the kind of experiences that we’ll reflect on and call “the good times.” Kambaku Safari Lodge is a place designed for those good times.
Watch the organic radiance of the African bushveld unfold in a way that celebrates the spirit of community. Wild dogs, hippos, hyena – spot them as our seasoned game rangers reveal the indigenous diversity of the Timbavati Game Reserve.

What you can do
Bush Walk
Nothing beats the magic of a bush walk - seeing big animals or the small wonders on foot.
Game Drive
Game drives are included in the package and take place in the morning and the afternoon. They are about 3 hours in duration. During the game drive you will have a stop for either morning tea and coffee in the bush, or afternoon sundowners.
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.”
