Overview of Rockfig Safari Lodge

South Africa, Timbavati Game Reserve, Kruger Private Reserves

The story goes that when the owners of this upscale lodge in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve first came upon the land where it is built, a leopard in a rock fig tree eyed them lazily, not at all fazed by their presence. They later found out that she was named ‘Rock Fig' because of her favourite perch, and the name for the new lodge was immediately obvious to all.

Today Rock Fig the leopard may be gone but you can still see her descendants roaming thousands of acres of land during a classic game drive or on a guided walking safari. All the other members of the Big 5 – lion, rhino, elephant and buffalo – also thrive here, not to mention rarer favourites like cheetah and wild dog. If your luck is really in, you may even be lucky enough to spot Timbavati's most special inhabitants: its snow-white lions with their clear blue eyes (in fact, the traditional Shangaan name, ‘Timbavati', alludes to these other-worldly creatures as it translates as ‘the place where something sacred came down to earth from heaven').

The suites at RockFig are very spacious but the true luxury involves the service: families are guaranteed their own game-drive vehicle, and up to two solo travellers can use single rooms without paying a supplementary fee. Children are welcome and the lodge is fenced for parents' peace of mind. Add a swimming pool, Wi-Fi, an outdoor pizza oven and spa treatments on request, and you have all the makings of an unforgettable safari at RockFig.

    The standout was RockFig, as I wasn’t sure what to expect but everything was perfect. The small touches they provide like the hot and cold towels, and waiting for you outside when you return from your drives just adds to the overall experience. We loved the communal dining too and the intimacy of the lodge. We met some wonderful people! I also like how they only put 4 guests in one vehicle, and you are with the same tracker, driver and guests for the duration of your stay. The morning coffee break and sundowner drinks were great too – setting up in the middle of the bush and watching the sunsets was breathtaking. The bush breakfast they put on was another nice surprise. The rooms were incredible too and the housekeeping did such a great job, we loved how each hotel always turned down your room at night and left a lovely chocolate or treat on your pillow. The number of animals we saw too was out of this world, we saw the big 5 plus more! I could have easily stayed there a few more days 🙂

    The pinnacle for us was definitely the safari and RockFig Lodge was just incredible. I have already been recommending it to friends and hope that one day we might be able to go back! Safari in itself is an incredible experience but the staff at RockFig made the experience even more enjoyable and comfortable. They were especially good with the children organising Easter egg hunts and fun activities for them – we really couldn't fault them. It was amazing!

    I liked Rock Fig lodge because of the luxury it offers, from the rooms to the dining options! The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, and the game drives are fantastic. They can even traverse over thousands of hectares away from the lodge. Their bush dinners are a real treat and something different to a normal boma dinner. Great for couples and even families.
