Bush & Beach Safari in Timbavati and Mozambique

Your journey begins with a flight from Johannesburg to Hoedspruit Airport. On arrival, you will be met by a lodge representative and enjoy a road transfer to RockFig Safari Lodge which will be your home for the next four nights. Dependent on your flight arrival time, you should be in time to enjoy lunch at the lodge followed by your afternoon game drive and have your first opportunity to spot some wildlife..

You will be spending three full days to enjoy the incredible game viewing on offer in this region of the Greater Kruger National Park, with morning and afternoon game drives included in your stay. Your drives are very personal as only 4 guests will be accommodated per vehicle per game drive. Back at the lodge, you have some downtime to enjoy the facilities, relax on your deck, swim, read a book and exchange stories with other guests. With no fences between the Timbavati and the Kruger National Park, wildlife is free to come and go, making this one of South Africa’s richest wildlife areas. Sightings of predators are a noted feature during the game drives, from wild dogs to leopards and the white lions, Timbavati’s best-known residents.

Today you bid farewell to the Kruger National Park, and head off to Mozambique where you have some time to truly relax after a busy few days on safari.
