Paul's Hideaway - Timbavati Private Reserve

Let the bush surprise you from the moment you set foot in the unscripted and truly wild, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. Experience Motswari Hideaway’s self-catering camps where the luxuries are grounded in nature, the rich wildlife the hero of your stay and the exclusive use of each camp providing the escape you truly need.

On the banks of the Machaton River stands a stone and thatch cottage, an idyllic hideaway in the heart of the Timbavati. Home to leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffe, and the critically endangered African wild dogs - this is the African bush in its wildest glory.

From the wide veranda, you’ll see elephants at the watering hole below. From your bed at night, you’ll hear lions call, hyenas cry, and owls hoot. Birdsong and fish eagles will wake you, and a leopard may pass your front door. Your own ranger can track its spoor, taking you on a 4x4 adventure through the thickest bush to catch a glimpse of your wandering visitor.
