Awesome Avoca
Our intimate bush camp is located in picturesque surrounds, and is built in harmony with the bushveld. Our decor is minimal and brings in elements of the wild, using gentle hues and animal print accents throughout. Small touches such as lanterns, indigenous flowers, and bird books add that authentic South African feel.

Rosé sunsets, emerald landscapes and endless possibilities. This is the lifestyle in the Timbavati, one of the most revered game reserves in the Greater Kruger. From spectacular surrounds to unparalleled game viewing opportunities, this landscape offers a world of wonder.

Your exclusive hideaway in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. A log cabin style camp hiding beneath the trees. Fall asleep at night to the sound of a lion's roar, or listen to the echo of a lone hyena's cackle crackling through the night.

African Wild Dog Archive 🦴 🐶
African wild dogs are one of the most requested species to spot while out on game drive. Here in the Timbavati we're used to seeing rare predators, and wild dog sightings are quite common during the dogs' denning period. Here's a throwback to when we spotted wild dog pups on our traverse. The bumbling and boisterous pups were an absolute joy to observe.
You might want to consider a getaway at Avoca - we're coming up to the African wild dog denning period, which is mid-winter. There's a good chance of seeing the dogs this time of year.
