Motswari Private Game Reserve

Big 5 Safari in Greater Kruger National Park

  • Nearest Airport

    Hoedspruit Airport, South Africa

  • Location

    Timbavati Nature Reserve, South Africa

  • Property Access

    Self drive or road transfers from the nearby Airports of Hoedspruit (approximately 50 minutes) or Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (3.5 hours approximately).  The most convenient access is with charter flight to the lodge’s own airstrip from either Johannesburg or Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport.

  • Best time to travel

    Historically the best game viewing is during the dry months when water becomes scarce resulting in game clustering around waterholes.  In the Timbavati this will generally be from May to September.  The rains normally start from around October which turns the bushveld into a green paradise.  This makes game viewing difficult but the abundance of bird life, baby animals and predators make up for this.
