The fine printNeed-to-know information for guests at this property
Please note, compulsory conservation levies per person are applicable and excluded from the rates. These are payable at the lodge or prior to arrival.
A gate entrance fee per vehicle is applicable and payable upon entrance to Timbavati Control Gate. Please contact the property directly for further information.
The gate is open from 06:00 to 18:00. Please do not arrive at the lodge late, as you will then miss the afternoon/evening game drive and lunch, which we do not serve later than 15h00. It is also safer not to drive in the reserve and arrive at the lodge when it is dark.
If you are going to be late due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact the property directly.
Please note that there is continuous cellular telephone reception just before the Enkhulu Gate. However, there is no mobile network available in the reserve.
Please remember to send the property your Passport/SA ID details to arrange for your entry into the reserve.
Check-in is from 14:30. You are welcome to arrive earlier, and make use of our swimming pool or other facilities.
We try to accommodate early arrivals, subject to room availability. Unfortunately this cannot be guaranteed, if the room was occupied on the previous night.
Check-out is prior to 11:00 on the day of departure. Again, we try to accommodate late check-outs, subject to room availability. Unfortunately this cannot be guaranteed, if the room is booked for the evening. If we are unable to accommodate a late check-out, we will happily store your luggage whilst you enjoy our facilities.
Lunch
The Full Board & Activity/Game drive price includes lunch (served from 1pm to 2.30pm) either on the day of arrival or on departure.
If you wish to have lunch on both arrival and departure days, there will be an extra charge for the second lunch.
Conservation Levies and Additional Reserve Fees are subject to change. Conservation levies will be added to invoices for prepayment, or collected at the lodge directly.
Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024: R575 per adult per night and R288 per child under 12 years per night.
Please inform Simbavati Hilltop Lodge in advance of your expected arrival time. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation.
