Kambaku Lodge is located in the heart of Timbavati Nature Reserve and has a waterhole which attracts members of the Big 5. Each of the rooms and chalets feature African décor and a private patio. The four-poster beds are surrounded by mosquito nets and the bathrooms contain both a bath and shower. This eco-friendly lodge lights its rooms with lanterns at night, but also has solar operated electric sockets, ceiling fans and free Wi-Fi. Brunch is served daily either beside the outdoor pool or on the spacious veranda. Dinners consist of local cuisine and are held beside a bonfire, under the stars in the Boma area. Guests can also enjoy a cocktail at the bar. The Kambaku Lodge is a 45-minute drive from Hoedspruit Airport and 3 hours by car from Nelspruit. Timbavati Nature Reserve is directly next to Kruger National Park, about 70 km from the lodge.
