Siviti, formerly known as Thornybush River Lodge, is derived from the Xitsonga word Xiviti meaning intellectual.
Set alongside the banks of the Timbavati river, you will enjoy private views of curious and thirsty animals, specifically elephants, whether overlooking the main deck rim-flow pool or from the shaded waters of your private plunge pool. It is because of this that they decided to make an ode and name their lodge and land after these beautiful and intelligent creatures.
With only six private suites, including the superb two-suite Timbavati Villa, Siviti is limited to 12 guests, ensuring an intimate wilderness experience. With elegant furnishings in the main lodge and private suites, you will feel right at home from the moment you arrive. They recently also added the 8-sleeper Timbavati Homestead to the Siviti offering. Whilst having the luxury of being in the bush, the Timbavati Homestead offers an exclusive family-style experience.
