Introduction

Kambaku River Sands is situated along the banks of a dry riverbed in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, which lies on the western edge of the Kruger National Park in South Africa’s Limpopo province.

The unfenced lodge allows wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, and bushbuck, to roam freely, making it an ideal location for game viewing. Nature enthusiasts, whether animal lovers or birdwatchers, can enjoy an immersive experience while staying in deluxe suites.

The lodge features elegant décor with authentic African furnishings in neutral tones, providing guests with opportunities to unwind in the spa area or by the swimming pool. Guided game drives will take you deep into the bush to spot more wildlife and capture stunning photographs. For the more adventurous, an optional overnight sleep-out offers an authentic experience of the African wilderness.
