Welcome to TimBila Nature Reserve by N/a’an ku sê – the ultimate destination for purposeful travel.
Dubbed the ‘place of second chances’, 33,000 hectares contribute towards the conservation projects of the N/a’an ku sê Foundation.
A particular focus is on providing a safe haven for conflict animals. Indeed, the reserve provides a protected home to many animals that would otherwise have lost their lives in areas of drought and the resulting skirmish with man. Lions, on the verge of starvation and driven by hunger, entered rural communities in search of food, this leading to potential persecution of these magnificent big cats. Relocated to the TimBila Nature Reserve, a number of lions now roam free on the wild expanses – their future secured. Similarly, elephants and white rhinos have also been provided with a second chance – all species protected by the vigilant anti-poaching unit.
This conservation mecca is ideal for a luxury safari that combines must-see wildlife with lifechanging experiences. At TimBila we aim to enrich lives by immersing you in a journey shaped by our stories of human-wildlife conflict mitigation. Three world-class properties provide the backdrop to your dream safari, each unique in their own way.
TimBila Safari Lodge
Set into the slope of the Osera mountain, towering high above the majestic plains of the 33 000ha reserve, lies a tented lodge like no other. Our story is one of second chances and new beginnings and is conveyed not only through the wildlife and their stories, but also through the carefully curated interiors and spaces created for introspection. 12 spacious tented suites with wood-fired hot tubs set the scene for your ultimate safari experience.
TimBila Private Villa
Nestled into the plains of TimBila Nature Reserve, the epitome of family hideaways awaits. Ten bedrooms adorned in safari chic style open onto mesmerizing waterhole views. Sunken lounges, a variety of dining areas, inviting open exteriors and a brilliantly blue swimming pool form the backdrop to your family safari. Fully serviced and catered, your host will anticipate all your needs. Time to reconnect, rejuvenate and bond over the hypnotic Namibian sunsets and absorbing star-scapes.
Camp Namibia
Walk barefoot in the sandy riverbed of the Omaruru river and find yourself immersed into an Africa experienced by only the lucky few. 12 en-suite self-catering tents and 4 camp sites with private ablutions line the oft dry riverbank, home to the authentically down-to-earth Camp Namibia. A lapa, swimming pool and close-by watering hole set the scene for a relaxed family safari. Game drives and activities are on offer and a kiosk supplies the basic wants and needs.
