You’ll want for nothing here, except to stay longer. It’s exquisite and as exclusive as it gets. Your very own five-bedroomed villa set on the pristine Timbila Nature Reserve offers incredible wildlife encounters and relaxation in abundance. It sounds surreal and it is.
You’ll be impressed by the sheer size of it from the moment you arrive. It’s beyond spacious with multiple lounge and dining areas inside and out. It’s quite frankly a little overwhelming but for all the right reasons. Your every heart’s desire is met here. Sit back, relax and enjoy every moment of it.
It’s elegant and modern in neutral shades throughout. A double-volume delight with comfortable furniture and fancy finishes. It’s paired back yet oh so lavish. Proud yet humble at the same time, which leaves you feeling both at home and treated like royalty all in one. A fine balance they manage to achieve effortlessly in the accommodation and service offering.
On the Timbila Nature Reserve you’ll enjoy wilderness drives, guided nature walks, animal tracking and a chance to explore conservation first-hand. Nestled into the plains of the reserve, everything about the villa and your stay here is exceptional.
Discover the roots of the Timbila Nature Reserve and explore all that takes place behind the scenes. Go on nature and conservation drives early morning or after breakfast and even at sunset. Animal tracking takes you as close as you can get to rhinos, elephants and even lions. A guided nature walk immerses you in the wilderness. Nearby rock engravings tell an ancient tale and if you are here with your own vehicle, head off on a 4x4 self-drive to explore the terrain at your own pace.
Spa treatments or a yoga session on deck will see you rejuvenated, relaxed and refreshed. In this setting, even simply soaking in the view is enough to while away the days. Whatever you choose, it’s up to you.
The TimBila Nature Reserve by Naankuse spans 33,500 hectares and is dedicated to protecting endangered and vulnerable wildlife, supported by a trained anti-poaching unit. This reserve focuses on providing a safe haven for conflict animals, including lions, elephants, African wild dogs, and white and black rhinos, many of which have been translocated here to escape persecution and drought-related skirmishes with humans.
The reserve is also home to the TimBila Safari Lodge, Farmstead and the Private Villa, offering visitors an immersive experience in this remarkable ecosystem. The reserve's creation was spearheaded by Albert and Anneke ten Brinke of the Netherlands’ Ten Brinke Group, who envisioned a thriving wildlife sanctuary. In 2020, they partnered with the Naankuse Foundation, transforming their conservation dream into reality and establishing a vital habitat for wildlife preservation. This collaboration between the Ten Brinke Group and Naankuse represents a powerful force for conservation.
