Part of the Timbavati Game Reserve Safari Collection

Allow us to introduce the brand new, RockFig Safari Lodge. Located in the Timbavati Game Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park, this cool, contemporary lodge creates a contrast between the 30 000 acres of fenced wilderness around you and the boutique experience of your stay.

Six chalet-style, en-suite rooms only accommodate eight guests at a time; lowering the tourism footprint and allowing guests to set their own pace. Enjoy modern and fully equipped rooms and stylish communal areas, including:

  • Air Conditioning, fans and mosquito netting
  • Indoor and outdoor showers
  • Private verandah overlooking the bush
  • A communal dining area, lounge and outside area, with views of the nearby watering hole
  • Rim-flow swimming pool
  • An open kitchen serving contemporary South African cuisine

  • Laundry service
  • Wireless connectivity

Born out of a deep love for Timbavati, RockFig’s owners dreamed of an intimate, family-friendly lodge in the Kruger National Park, where people can come together to enjoy an experience like no other; a safari in South Africa that brings people closer together, a home-away-from-home.
