Both host, Morne and Simone are extremely friendly. They make you feel at home the minute you get out of the car. The rooms are spacious, clean, the bathroom perfect. The pool to dip in after a long day in the Kruger is perfect. The garden and property in general are very well kept... And the best: the food! Personalised. Simone is an amazing cook. Both breakfast and dinner are like in a star restaurant. Just WOW

So so great! Bongan is just such a warm and friendly person and often speaks to you as guest and has a high interest in your well-being. He is also eating together with you. We could book in addition an African dinner, which was so great. Furthermore, the accommodation ist super modern and clean and has much space in the room. Can 10/10 recommend and definitely follows “European standards” so to say. It has even two showers and two bathroom sinks. The accommodation is part of a sweet and small little African village, which makes the stay super authentic. We always felt very safe. Also the pool is very nice!

Staff made us feel welcome from arrival to us leaving. The pool and bar area was very comfortable and fitting for the African experience! The meals were delicious and plentiful! The mosquito nets over the beds were very welcomed! Having the wild life on the door step was lovely to see. Assistance from Jondre and his team to get our car out of the mud after the welcomed rains was greatly appreciated! I Would definitely recommend a stay at Timbavati!

We liked everything about our stay. The room was phenomenal, clean and with a beautiful view over the bush. The food cooked by Walther was delicious, it felt like dining in a good restaurant. Phindy was very welcoming and served & helped us with a smile. And Annie is the best host we ever had. She went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience, with many tips and recommendations, even for the rest of our trip. She also arranged a wonderful game drive through Manyeleti and an exciting bush walk in Guernsey. I don’t often write reviews but this was such a 5 star experience that I want to recommend it to anyone traveling to the area.

A special experience was staying at the Lion Tree Top Lodge in the Greater Kruger Park. At night you hear the lions roar, the hyenas call and the monkeys jump on the roof and terrace of your lodge. In the morning while you are under the outdoor shower you see the impalas and springboks pass by. During the day with a nice glass of wine by the pool you see the zebras drinking from the pond nearby. And close to the resort you can see the giraffes walk. A very special experience to see all those animals pass by your lodge. In the evening we had a very nice meal around the cozy campfire in the boma together with the super sweet hosts Brian and Lynn. The lodges are beautiful and equipped with all the necessities, separated from each other by wooden paths that provide the necessary privacy. So the resort seemed all to yourself. No mass tourism here like with the accommodations in the Kruger Park. In short, a real African bush experience in this small-scale, cozy resort, which was a highlight of our road trip through South Africa, thanks in part to Brian and Lynn.

We loved our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. Annie welcomed us and showed us around . The place was so clean and the gardens are beautiful. Loved the comfortable bed. We did a sunset game drive and saw zebra, giraffe, buffalo and warthogs.
