Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, South Africa

Located in the Mpumalanga Province, the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve shares a fenceless border with the world-renowned Kruger National Park. This magnificent 60 000 hectare reserve is best known for its two very rare white lions discovered here in the 1970s, which gave this destination its name. Meaning 'the place where something sacred came down to earth from the heavens', the park lives up to the hype with its enthralling African savannah, abundant wildlife, and friendly people. Visitors have the opportunity to see 40 mammal species, 360 bird species and the famous Big Five (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo). Enjoy a wide array of activities including daytime safaris, guided night game drives, bush walks, and excellent bird watching.

The afternoon game drive will start around 16:00, after high tea. It will last for +-3 hours, with a stop somewhere for sundowners. You will return to the lodge in the dark, with a spotlight to look for nocturnal animal.

Timbavati Private Reserve, Greater Kruger, South Africa

Booking a safari isn't easy when you start with a google search. i sent out emails to five companies. Indigo's response time and follow up, alongside suggestions, were the best by far. They seemed committed to want to listen to what i wanted, not just what they had to offer. Despite booking nine months in advance, I really appreciated being given an email a month before the holiday to reconfirm everything. It's the thoughtful, small things like this that I felt set them apart. I would very much recommend them. The lodge they suggested was excellent, and exactly what we were looking for.

Trusted Customer
Excellent customer service. Great recommendation. Seamless execution.

Greater Kruger and Lowveld Safari

I contacted indigo safari about having a few days in safari and they definitely didn't waist any time got right to work 😑
Shannon is amazing and she really did great a wonderful experience custom made just for us because I have a few medical issues she worked around it and she delivered the best experience for me and my wife...Needless to say we are already booking with her again and can't wait to see what she comes up with next a big thanks to Shannon

The best ever

South Africa – 5-Day Greater Kruger & Lowveld Getaway

Our booking far out weighed our expectations. Our guides where not only very friendly but very informative. We made so many new friends and wanted to bring everyone home to Canada with us lol We are now in the middle of planning our next trip. My husband and I highly recommend using Indigo Safaris for your travel bookings.

South Africa – Cape Town, Greater Kruger Honeymoon

Working with Ines at Indigo Safaris was an absolute dream! From start to finish, the entire planning process was seamless, stress-free, and truly exciting. This was our first time using a travel agent or tour operator, and we were a bit skeptical at first—but Ines quickly put all our worries to rest. Her flexibility, attention to detail, and genuine care turned our South African honeymoon dreams into reality. Plus she was quick to respond!

She worked within our budget, tailored everything to our preferences, and made planning our Cape Town + Safari adventure so effortless and fun. Every moment of the trip exceeded our expectations—we seriously can’t stop raving about it!

We’ve already started recommending Indigo Safaris to friends and family who are considering a safari. If you’re on the fence—just do it. Booking with Ines was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our honeymoon. We’re beyond grateful!!!

We a great experience with Indigo. All out accommodations were top notch and the transfers were excellent!

South Africa – 9-day Greater Kruger Safari

Nelia at Indigo Safaris was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I'm usually the one who plans all of our family trips, so I know firsthand how much work it is. This time, I didn't have to lift a finger! She helped us figure out exactly what we wanted and then handled every detail, booking an incredible trip for us.

Everything worked like clockwork. The three lodges she booked were amazing, and all our transfers were perfectly pre-planned. I didn't need to worry about a thing or confirm a single detail. It was, without a doubt, the most stress-free travel experience I've ever had.
