Is the Kambaku River Sands for Me?

Kambaku River Sands is a safari lodge situated in the heart of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park.

The lodge comprises ten spacious thatched suites, each featuring a private viewing deck, an en-suite bathroom with a spa bath and outdoor shower, and a comfortable lounge area. The design incorporates glass walls to blend indoor and outdoor living, allowing you to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding bushveld.

The main lodge area includes a lounge with two large open fireplaces, a bar, and a well-stocked wine cellar. You can dine alfresco or beside the riverbed, surrounded by campfires. The lodge also features two outdoor swimming pools, a spa and wellness centre, a gym, and a library, ensuring a blend of relaxation and adventure.

Kambaku River Sands provides a range of activities to enhance your stay. Embark on morning and evening game drives led by experienced rangers, participate in three-hour bush walks, or enjoy photographic safaris tailored to your interests. The lodge also caters to families with its Kambaku Kubs Programme, introducing children to the wonders of the bush in an engaging and educational manner.

Ideal for couples, families, and wildlife enthusiasts, Kambaku River Sands offers an immersive safari experience.
