Game Lodge in South Africa

In 2018, the owners of Timbila Game Lodge signed a long-term concession agreement with the local community. This was designed to operate the game reserve as a lodge. Which implies committing to an ecotourism model in exchange for guaranteed income for the community. Since 2024, the management has partnered with European stakeholders to renovate and expand the lodge. The ambition is creating a unique destination — a luxurious bush retreat at a reasonable price for all. 

What to expect

Visiting Timbila Game Lodge is an opportunity of a lifetime! Immerse yourself in the natural environment, contribute to conservation efforts, and experience the rich biodiversity of the region. 

Photographic Opportunities
If you love photography, Timbila Game Lodge is a dream come true. With its many waterholes and the rocky outcrop just in front of the camp, you might capture a leopard stalking baboons. Or a buffalo coming to drink at dusk. Or even spot a fish eagle letting out its haunting cry with its head thrown back. These are moments you won’t forget — and neither will your camera.

Cultural Experience
Guests often have the chance to connect with local cultures and communities. Most of our staff come from the surrounding community and are proud to take care of you with warmth and authenticity. 

Safety Regulations
Safety is a top priority. All visitors are briefed on safety protocols, especially when in proximity to dangerous wildlife. You are welcome to arrive at the camp in your own vehicle — just make sure not to exit it until you’ve reached the lodge. 

Ethical Considerations
Timbila Game Lodge aligns with conservation principles, including ethical hunting. Well-managed hunting reserves play a key role in protecting habitats and species, helping to ensure the long-term survival and genetic diversity of wildlife.
