Currently, over 40 mammal species reside in the Timbavati, including the Big 5—Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo, and Elephant—as well as endangered species such as Wild Dogs and Cheetahs. The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is one of the few places in the world where you have the opportunity to see the unique white lion in its natural environment. Additionally, the reserve is home to an abundance of birdlife, with a total of 360 species recorded.

Enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives conducted in open 4x4 safari vehicles and led by professional rangers.

For the more adventurous traveler, bush walks can be arranged prior to arrival. These walks are an excellent way to discover the smaller, wondrous creatures of the bush and to learn more about the fauna and flora.
