Adventure In Timbavati & Balule

From the southern parts of Kruger we’ve driven further north to Balule and Timbavati. Both of these private game reserves are also part of the “Greater Kruger”, just like Sabi Sands, and are connected to the Kruger National Park without any fences which gives you the chance to see the same animals.

One of the huge advantages of the reserves in the north are that they are extremely easily accessible thanks to Hoedspruit air port, which boasts direct flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg. These reserves are also home to some incredibly budget-friendly lodges that are huge on value but don’t skimp on the game drive experience.
