Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
Safaris here start from Hoedspruit (HDS). We fly you there and arrange the journey on to the park.
Getting there
- 1
Flight to the gateway
Eastgate Airport / Air Force Base Hoedspruit (HDS)
- 2
Transfer or bush flight
By road straight to the park. Where the drive is long, a light aircraft to the lodge's airstrip — we arrange it in the itinerary.
- 3
Lodge and game drives
Accommodation in or next to the park and programmes from local operators, priced together with the flight.
When to go
In the dry season the bush thins out and animals gather at water — the best viewing. The rainy season is cheaper, greener and quieter.
