    Overview

    Kambaku Safari Lodge is the perfect luxury safari lodge from which to explore the wildlife rich Timbavati Game Reserve.  There are plenty of activities to partake in, including morning and afternoon Big 5 game drives, walking safaris, photography safaris with a professional guide and photographer (at an additional cost), bird watching and even sleep-outs in the onsite hide.

    The guides and trackers at Kambaku Safari Lodge are experienced and passionate about what they do and are experts at pointing out the more elusive creatures of the bush. Animals you can look forward to seeing include lions, African wild dogs, hippos, hyenas and more. The lodge is ideal for a family safari as they have a dedicated children’s area, as well as a programme that will keep kids entertained while educating them about the wonders of the bush at the same time. They can even become certified junior rangers at the end of their stay!

    All Thatched Rooms have en-suite bathrooms, ceiling fans, mosquito netting and a private veranda from which guests can observe the gardens and nearby private watering hole. Family Suites are also available. The main lodge is spacious and inviting, with a small library, fireplace, bar, pool table, spa and gym facilities, as well as Wi-Fi to keep in touch with the outside world. Combine your trip to the Timbavati with one to Cape Town and Victoria Falls to experience the best of Southern Africa.
