Jet off from Johannesburg to Kruger and enjoy the start of an opulent safari

Fly from O.R. Tambo International, Johannesburg, South Africa to Hoedspruit Airport in the Kruger National Park, where you will be met and transferred by road to Simbavati Camp George. Camp George shares a 360° nature experience, from bush exploration to learning and understanding the intricacies of the wildlife and their ecosystems. Offering a front-row seat, you can immerse yourself in nature with game drives, guided bush walks and night drives in the exclusive Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Get ready for magnificent sightings of leopard, elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, hippo and wild dog, to name a few.

Each day begins at sunrise with the murmurs of waking animals and the tracking of big game on your first game drive. Return to camp for breakfast before relaxing on the verandah or by the pool. After a delicious lunch, set off for the evening safari (2 to 3 hours) with your professional ranger before a sundowner in the bush and a fabulous 3-course dinner back at camp.

Perched on a hillside, it has wide-angle views over the bush and distant mountains of the Drakensberg escarpment. Below lies the expansive Mbali Dam and the Nhlaralumi River, where you may see elephants and other wildlife coming to quench their thirst.

This luxurious tented lodge has a romantic, bright and airy ambience with 8 spacious tented suites connected by wooden walkways to the main lodge. Enjoy their warm team of welcoming staff and professional rangers who will take you on both culinary and safari expeditions of note. Timbavati forms part of the Greater Kruger Park and offers exceptional game viewing, including the Big Five.
