Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
Nelspruit
1200
Man's incursions into this part of the Limpopo region have always been temporary and brief, from Early Stone Age down to the early 20th century. In point of fact, man never permanently settled large tracts of land in the northern portion of the Lowveld, and the lands now comprising the Timbavati were barely touched, and are still only lightly inhabited. This part of South Africa's bushveld region may therefore be regarded as truly unspoiled and deserves recognition as truly wild land.
