In the heart of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Kambaku River Sands is an unfenced retreat sitting majestically on the banks of a dry riverbed. The suites are spaciously set apart, allowing for unobstructed views of the savannah and the animals roaming freely around and through the camp. This more exclusive lodge combines classic luxury with traditional style and hospitality.
Kambaku takes its name from one of the ”Magnificent Seven” who roamed the Kruger Park for the greater part of the last century. These elephants were renowned for their impressive tusks.
Kambaku River Sands invites you to sit back, relax and get on track for a superlative safari experience.
