RockFig Safari Lodge
South AfricaSet in the heart of South Africa’s Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park, RockFig Safari Lodge is ideally situated for forays into the African wilds. Game drives let you explore in the comfort of a vehicle, while walking safaris put you right on the ground, discovering the area under your own steam.
RockFig Safari Lodge features just six chalet-type suites catering for 12 guests at a time, making it ideal for exclusive-use bookings for families or groups of friends. The sense of place comes through strongly, with the colour palette in each room inspired by the purple and green hues of local birds and plants. Indoor and outdoor showers, a private veranda, a minibar and a bath add to the amenities.
The communal areas are just as thoughtfully decorated. The open-plan kitchen is a favourite place to hang out, and outdoors the centrepiece is the covered lounge with its arresting views. There’s also a pool overlooking the waterhole.
Meals at RockFig Safari Lodge let you experience the tastes of Timbavati. Opt for the bushveld equivalent of silver service, enjoy private dining on your veranda, or if you’ve brought your kids along, let them watch their dinner being prepared from the kitchen counter.
Game drives rank among the quintessential experiences from RockFig Safari Lodge and from here you can guarantee an incredible, safe but close wildlife encounters.
