The Detail
Located in a secluded area of the world-renowned Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, this camp is set within an 11,000-hectare wilderness area that forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park.
Days start with a 3- to 4-hour walk at a leisurely pace with an armed specialist guide. Experiencing the bush on foot offers an entirely different perspective compared to being in a safari vehicle. You'll hear more, smell more, and gradually train your eyes to notice subtle details around you. Snack and drink breaks keep your energy up before a delicious brunch is served back at camp.
After some personal downtime, which can be spent snoozing or reading outside your tent, a savory and sweet ‘tea’ is prepared. This is followed by a 2- to 3-hour walk in the late afternoon, culminating at a viewpoint to soak in a breathtaking African sunset. A short drive will then take you back to camp, where you can freshen up before enjoying dinner around the campfire.

- Accommodation, all meals, and two safari activities per day.
