Timbavati Game Reserve

Timbavati Game Reserve banner

The Timbavati Game Reserve is most famous for its white lions, which are still spotted in this area from time to time. The Timbavati is a collection of privately owned game reserves which share an unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park. It is a vast Big Five game reserve situated to the west of Kruger, and to the north of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The bush and game viewing in the Timbavati is similar to what you will find in the Kruger National Park.
