Nambiti Plains Private Game Lodge

Nambiti Private Reserve is home to a contrasting landscape from lush grassland and riverine forest to rugged thornveld dotted by waterfalls fed by the Sundays River. This 8,900ha Big 5 game reserve and the subtle delights of the boutique Nambiti Plains Private Game Lodge are conveniently located just 2.5 hours from Durban and 3 hours from Johannesburg. 

Aside from the Big 5, Nambiti is home to 40 other species of game; cheetah, hippo, and giraffe among them. The reserve’s diverse landscape attracts a number of bird species, including raptors and vultures. Cast a line in the Sundays River or spend an evening gazing at the glittering night sky. 

Take a dip in the pool at the main lodge - sometimes mistakenly used by local elephants as a waterhole - or enjoy a sundowner at the bar. The sound of drums will summon guests to a dinner beneath the stars or in the cosy dining room. Nambiti Lodge has seven luxurious suites with private viewing decks. The Family Suites consist of two private suites that share a common area – ideal for couples and families holidaying together.
