Timbavati was fantastic from an accommodation and guest experience, however the animal population felt much more sparse than at Sabi Sand. Overall still a great experience and I would love to go back.

Stayed at Kambaku Safari Lodge. Enjoyed all aspects of the lodge, excellent guide and tracker. Lovely accommodation, food and staff. Great wildlife viewing. Our last morning we spent about 20 minutes watching a pride of lions with 3 small cubs being playful, was a wonderful sighting.

It was a dry season for us, so the bush was very interesting and little flowered, this made it possible for us to see the big 7!

The River Lodge which we stayed in was very good, but overall we were surprised that there weren't more animals in the Reserve, yet we did see all the Big 5. At the Lodge, we had elephants walking by our tented suite and one even drank from our plunge pool. Also had hyenas and monkeys close by.

Winter safari, so the bush is dry and water levels are low. The bush is not beautiful but the animals and the setting is brilliant. Being a private game reserve means fewer vehicles who can go off track so you get a better safari experience. We saw pretty much everything on our wish list and so much more besides, combined with a brilliant guide and tracker in fantastic bush accommodation

Timbavati strength was it had a lot of lion prides and it had rhinos with horns. It had an incredible amount of elephants and giraffes. It's weakness was it lacked hippos.

This area is a little dry so the landscape is more sparse than Sabi Sand. Loved our accommodations at Kings Camp, amazing service, trackers and guides. Saw all the big 5.

We saw a lot of animals at Timbavati - all of the Big Five. Our guide and tracker worked well together to get us the best viewing opportunities.
