Overview

Imagine a setting that shares views of the majestic Drakensberg Mountains, a mesmerising river and the lush wilderness of South African bushveld from a raised hillock in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve. This is Hilltop Lodge Simbavati, named after the hill upon which it stands and the wildlife roaming the plains below.  

‘Timbavati’ comes from a Shangaan expression meaning ‘the place where something sacred came down to earth from the heavens’.  Sharing unfenced borders with Kruger and other private game reserves, the Timbavati is known for its elephants and its famous white lions – which still exist and breed in the bounds of this haven. 

Hilltop Lodge is a fancy place for safari enthusiasts in luxury Timbavati accommodation in unique stand-alone pavilion-style tents. Come with your family and feel the sense of togetherness as you share the living areas and befriend the game rangers and their trackers. Seek out the white lions of Timbavati while you are there. 

Activities include twice daily game drives, take memorable photographs and capture these memories. Spa treatments in your own tent provide important self-care, much needed when on a luxury safari in the Kruger National Park. Family holidays at this Simbavati Hilltop Lodge include exclusive game rives, kids games and exciting activities for the kids every day laid on by the fun game rangers and staff.
