Explore the best of the Greater Kruger National Park; the Timbavati and Umbabat Nature Reserve’s unspoilt 18 000 hectares.
The focus is about sharing incredibly intimate spaces with the animals and imparting a connection that one cannot explain with words. Motswari Geiger’s Camp is within the Timbavati which shares an unfenced border with the legendary Kruger and so the game viewing on offer at Geiger’s Camp is second to none. The Big Five is a common sight for the greater part and this is possibly the next best place in South Africa after the Sabi Sands to enjoy leopard sightings. Motswari’s guides are renowned for their quality and they’ll do their utmost to get you right up the very best sightings.
Game drives are hosted twice daily, in the morning (coffee is provided to chase away the early-morning tiredness) and again around sunset
