Spend the next three days exploring the ever-rewarding Timbavati Game Reserve on early morning, late afternoon, and early evening game drives. There is a fantastic variety of animals and birds in the reserve and Big 5 sightings are commonplace. Ngala is a perfect place for families – each child receives a fun activity pack on arrival and babysitting services are also available.
