Chimani Bush Camp

Chimani Bush Camp is situated on the western edge of the Timbavati Game
Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park, in an exclusive area of 2 700ha
which includes the perennial Klaserie River and the non-perennial Monwana River.
There is an abundance of wildlife in this area, including steenbok, duiker, giraffe,
zebra, wildebeest, impala, kudu, bushbuck, nyala, rhinoceros, warthog, buffalo,
lion, leopard, elephant, hyena, genet, civet, bushbaby, baboon, monkey and
porcupine and the possibility of seeing African Wilddogs.
The 53 000ha Timbavati Game Reserve is a large proclaimed game reserve made
up of a conglomerate of privately-owned properties the owners of which have
elected to ensure that their land remains as pristine wilderness to be conserved
for future generations. It has a common unfenced boundary with the Kruger
National Park and wildlife moves freely between the two conservation areas and
other private land to the north and south.
All in all, the Timbavati has about 50 large mammal species and another 25 or
so small mammal species such as rodents, shrews and bats. There are about
70 Reptiles species recorded, 44 Amphibians, more than 250 bird species and
approximately 75 tree species.
