      Overview
      Siviti is a unique and luxurious safari lodge located in the southern section of the Thornybush Game Reserve, which forms part of the iconic Greater Kruger National Park.

      Set along the scenic Timbavati River, this region is characterised by dense riverine vegetation, open grasslands, and an abundance of wildlife. Once a fenced area that limited elephant movement, the landscape has been restored to a fully open ecosystem, allowing elephants and other wildlife to roam freely across the reserves—resulting in exceptional and natural game-viewing opportunities.

      At Siviti, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding wilderness, with animals often seen grazing close to the lodge. The main deck provides a tranquil vantage point to observe wildlife while relaxing beside the rim-flow pool, or from the privacy of a suite’s own plunge pool.

      Perfectly positioned in the heart of the untamed African bushveld, Siviti combines immersive safari experiences with personalised service and refined comfort, ensuring an unforgettable stay in one of South Africa’s premier wildlife regions.

      This intimate lodge features just six private suites, as well as the Timbavati Villa, which includes two suites. For families and groups of friends, the Timbavati Homestead offers an ideal exclusive-use option. All suites and villas are elegantly designed, with interiors that flow seamlessly into the main lodge, creating a warm and welcoming “home away from home” atmosphere in the bush.

      Specials Available
      • Pay 3 Stay 4 | Pay 5 Stay 7 (block out dates apply over Easter & the Festive season)
