Your Siviti Experience
Is it a special birthday? A honeymoon? An anniversary? Whatever you’re celebrating, a safari experience at Siviti is guaranteed to make it a memorable one.
Siviti is kept to a small occupancy ensuring a personalised and uninterrupted wilderness experience. You also have the opportunity of reserving the entire camp for your exclusive use, should you want a completely private safari.
A typical day at the lodge starts as the sun rises over the bushveld and a chorus of birdsong can be heard from the surrounding canopy of trees. After an early morning wake up call and some much-needed freshly brewed coffee and rusks, it is off on the 4x4 game drive with your Shangaan tracker-guide to seek out wildlife (yes, you can also see the Big 5).
Since each experience at Siviti can be completely customised, we can also schedule more evening drives instead of those early morning wake-ups, should you prefer a little extra time to laze in. This is the kind of lodge where nothing is ever rushed and you can take your own time to simply enjoy relaxing within this natural environment. Tuck into a late breakfast as you gaze out over the seasonal Timbavati River, and take a tip from the hippos by wallowing in your private plunge pool throughout the afternoon.
Thornybush Private Nature Reserve is filled to the brim with wildlife which can often be seen right from the lodge, but if you’d like to step out a little you can also join a bush walk to observe tracks, and examine certain plants alongside under the guidance of expert trackers. After a busy day exploring, indulge in a private dining experience beneath the stars, and say “yes” to sundowners served as the African sun sets beyond the horizon. This really is as good as it gets when it comes to an intimate Kruger safari experience.
