Perched on a ridge within the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Geiger's Camp is an exclusive family-owned lodge with panoramic views of the Nhlaralumi River and surrounds. This luxury camp is comprised of only 4 rooms, each boasting a private wooden deck overlooking the bush. They are air-conditioned and feature an en suite bathroom with a ball-and-claw bath, as well as an outdoor shower. Brunch, high tea and dinner are included at Geiger's Camp and can be enjoyed at a scenic location on the trail with one of the guides, or within the lounge area. Guests can relax at the infinity pool on Geiger's main deck, and make the most of the two included daily game drives, which occur at sunrise and sunset.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 10.0 for a two-person trip.
