Overview
"An intriguing conversation with the owners."

"Nice location, not so comfortable accommodation"

"The location of this lodge was great if travelling to Kruger National Park, but the chalets get so hot on the inside! My husband and I had a terrible night, although we had the fan on at its highest speed. The space was way too warm and to make matters worse, our mosquito nets had holes in them and we had a mosquito swarming around us in this malaria zone! Dinner was good and we enjoyed the beef fillet, but there were no options for dessert besides the tiramisu. No one from our group drinks alcohol and we therefore had to pass on this alcoholic dessert option, with nothing else to choose from. Breakfast was average, with limited options."

"HiWe enjoyed our short stay Timbavati the place was ok, friendly reception from Rob.The bar lady might do with some assistance as she has to take orders and serve drinks during dinner, a waiter to assist her would speed up the she serves drinks to all the guests. The lodge is unfortunately located next to a village which spoilt our african bush experience loud music from nearby church and singing till late. Not sure how why will be addressed."
"Hidden costs"

"Clean and friendly staff. The unfortunate part is that there were hidden costs. Upon arrival we were told that we qualify for a game drive because we booked for 3 (three nights) and we went for that drive the next day. On departure we were surprised to see the cost of a game drive for two which is (R450.00 ea), R900.00 in total included in the invoice. We never questioned anyone and just paid."
