Guest Voices: What Visitors Love Most About Timbila Game Lodge
At Timbila Game Lodge, every guest arrives as a guest and leaves as a friend. Nestled in the heart of the Limpopo bushveld, our lodge has welcomed travelers from all over the world—photographers, families, and adventurers alike. While our landscapes and wildlife are unforgettable, it’s our guests’ words that truly capture the spirit of Timbila.
Here are some of their voices:
“Let’s go back home!” – Vanessa, Brazil
“At the end, I referred to Timbila Lodge as ‘let’s go back home’ to Peter! Janke, Peter, Titi, and all the staff received us as a family. We felt so welcomed and cared for. I have no words to describe and thank them for what we lived there—it was far beyond my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a real connection and experience!”
“More than just accommodation, it’s family” – Thanakon, Thailand
“Staying here was such a special experience. Everything went beyond our expectation. Both Janke and Peter are the best—it didn’t feel like just being a guest, but being part of a local family. They always helped with anything we needed and shared so many valuable insights about wildlife. Thank you also to the ladies for the delicious traditional food and the warmest care. This is more than accommodation; it’s a core memory for life. Highly recommend!”
