BIG 5 SAFARI’S
We only allow four guests per safari vehicle which ensures a more comfortable and immersive experience
Heading out on game drives from RockFig Safari Lodge is an invitation to connect with the untamed beauty of the Timbavati. With our passionate guides and expert trackers leading the way, every drive is a journey into the rhythms of the bush, where subtle signs and tracks reveal the movements and behaviours of Africa’s incredible wildlife. Whether you’re soaking in the atmosphere of the wilderness or capturing the perfect safari shot, every detail is seamlessly taken care of—allowing you to fully embrace the magic of the safari experience.
Open Vehicle Safari’s
RockFig’s custom-designed game vehicles are thoughtfully equipped with blankets, binoculars, reference books, and guests’ preferred refreshments. Each guest enjoys a ‘window’ seat with uninterrupted views of Big Five territory, and with only four guests per shared vehicle, there’s ample space on board – almost as much as the vast wilderness waiting to be explored beyond the lodge.
This setup provides easy access to camera gear and the layers of clothing that make crisp winter mornings and evenings more comfortable. Every game drive is expertly led by an experienced guide at the wheel and a skilled local tracker positioned up front, where they can best interpret the bush’s subtle signs.
With almost instinctive teamwork between guide and tracker, and a radio network connecting vehicles across Timbavati, guides share special sightings and co-ordinate viewings, ensuring an exclusive and uncrowded safari experience.
Family Safari’s
At RockFig Safari Lodge, we believe in creating unforgettable experiences for families, and that’s why we guarantee a private safari vehicle for your exclusive use – at no extra cost! This thoughtful offering provides the ultimate flexibility to tailor safari activities around your family’s unique preferences and pace.
Whether you have early risers eager to catch the dawn chorus or little adventurers keen to explore nature after breakfast, our team ensures your safari schedule fits seamlessly into your family’s rhythm. Unlike many lodges, we welcome children of all ages on game drives, without age restrictions or the need for management approval.
At RockFig, safaris are more than just game drives – they’re family adventures designed to inspire, educate, and bring you closer together in the heart of the African wilderness.
