Nestled in the heart of the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, Rockfig is a magnificent luxury safari lodge that prides itself on delivering a personal service and intimate safari encounters.
Positioned along the seasonal Ross River, the lodge enjoys an authentic bush feel and the design is inspired by the surrounding Timbavati. A relaxed atmosphere can be felt throughout with the indoor and outdoor guest spaces seamlessly combining to enable guests to unwind, either surveying the landscape for wildlife or peacefully curled up by the fire in the cosy lounge. The raised firepit area and infinity pool deck overlook a waterhole where visitors can enjoy the serenity of the bush during the day as elephants, zebras and numerous antelope species come to drink amongst many other inhabitants of the Timbavati. As night rolls around, take part in fireside chats with a refreshing beverage whilst being captivated by the night sky and listening for the cackles of hyenas.
With just six chalet-style guest suites, Rockfig can be booked on an exclusive-use basis, making the property a perfect fit for families or groups of friends. Couples are equally welcome to experience the South African wilderness at the lodge, making the most of the intimate feel and hospitality. Each suite is elegant and modern, decorated with resident nature in mind; the colour palette is inspired by the purple and green hues of native birds and plants. Comfort and luxury are at the heart of the design with indoor and outdoor showers, bath, specially commissioned watercolour paintings, minibar and private verandah with views of the surrounding bush, ideal for romantic candlelit dinners in each chalet.
Delicious meals are prepared in an open-plan kitchen where guests can watch as the chefs shows off their culinary skills, a novelty particularly enjoyed by younger visitors, who also love to choose their own toppings for pizzas baked in the outdoor pizza oven. Both private and communal dining is on offer depending on preference with indoor, outdoor, poolside or from the comfort of your room all options to choose from. The menu is prepared with locally-grown ingredients and reflects the richness of the location whilst catering to any and all dietary requirements.
