THE EXPERIENCE
Guests will be collected at a helipad closest to their lodge, and in the company of an experienced Timbavati Anti-Poaching Unit Ranger, patrol the property for approximately one hour. While game may be spotted, the primary focus of the flight is to cover the designated area and for guests to gain insight into the Timbavati’s intensive wildlife protection programs from a knowledgeable Ranger.
