Timbavati

The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is 53 000 hectares of private land sharing a common unfenced border with the Kruger National Park. Since 1962, the Timbavati Association has been dedicated to conservation and this "Big 5" reserve is now characterised by strong lion, leopard and cheetah populations, as well as large herds of buffalo, wild dog and elephant. Timbavati is the birth place of the famous white lions, only known to occur in the Timbavati region.
