Timbavati Game Reserve, Game reserve in Mpumalanga, South Africa.
Timbavati spans across 53,392 hectares of diverse terrain with acacia woodlands, mopane forests, and undulating landscapes at elevations between 300 and 500 meters.
The reserve began in 1956 when local farmers formed the Timbavati Association to restore and protect land that had experienced environmental deterioration.
The reserve implements educational initiatives through the Timbavati Foundation, connecting local communities with nature conservation and wildlife protection programs.
Visitors can access multiple daily flights to nearby airports and find accommodations ranging from basic tented camps to upscale lodges within the reserve.
The removal of fences between Timbavati and Kruger National Park in 1993 created an extensive wildlife corridor where animals roam freely across both territories.
