More About Kambaku Safari Lodge

Kambaku Safari Lodge in the Timbavati Game Reserve offers rustic, affordable luxury within the natural wilderness area of the Greater Kruger National Park. The lodge is accessible by air (Johannesburg to Hoedspruit or directly to the lodge) or by road (a 6 hour trip). This intimate, family-friendly lodge accommodates guests in 7 thatched, en-suite chalets. The lodge overlooks a waterhole where a variety of game arrive to drink, especially in the dry season from May to October. The lodge accommodates a maximum of 16 guests which makes it very suitable for small family get-togethers, corporate events or just a quiet, romantic getaway.

Kambaku offers a choice of family suites, twin or double chalets.  The decor in the chalets is tasteful. All have an ensuite bathroom with bath and shower. As part of Kambaku's environmental consciousness, each chalet has lanterns for light, gas geysers and 220 Volt power points sustained by an eco-friendly battery bank system.

Guests can relax in the main lounge/bar area, in the upstairs loft or around the pool on the sun-deck. A well stocked curio shop is open all day. Delicious meals are served in the dining area which overlooks the gardens and waterhole or in the outdoor Boma (African reed enclosure) under the open sky.

Knowledgeable and enthusiatic guides and trackers accompany guests on open 4x4 game drives twice daily. Off-road driving and night drives are allowed. The Timbavati Game Reserve is known for its beautiful bush and abundant game, including the Big Five. There is no fence between Timbavati and the adjacent Kruger Park.

The staff at Kambaku will treat you with warm enthusiasm and dedication and will ensure that your stay at Kambaku is a memorable and treasured one. Kambaku offers good value for money and we have no hesitation in recommending this lodge.
