Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Situated along the Sohebele River, a tributary of the Nhlaralumi River, in the Timbavati Game Reserve, the two-suite River Sands Villa was created for those looking for absolute privacy.  

Connected by an expansive lounge and dining area with fireplace, the two spacious suites come with ensuite bathrooms, a private deck, and an outdoor seating area. Thatched high ceilings and a neutral colour palette create a sense of being at one with nature.

Access from the lounge to an expansive patio allows for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with a custom-designed waterfall pool out front. The pool overlooks a busy watering hotel that attracts wildlife throughout the day – making animal sightings from the comfort of the villa a common occurrence.

Each day is designed around guests’ preferences. A typical morning might see you set off on an early game drive in a private vehicle to look for the Big Five – most notably leopard – as well as wild dog. On your return to the villa, you can enjoy brunch or lunch, followed a swim and spa treatment, before the afternoon drive with sundowners in the bush, and a relaxed dinner back at the villa.
