Incredible time, we'll be back
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, comfortable accommodation and superb food. Had a wonderful time although only for 2 days, would certainly return for longer. Game drives were very good and witnessed some lions hunting (not successfully).

Marvellous and excellent quality of service, excellent offer of restaurant: very good food and wine. The guide was very friendly and good adviser. The chalet was perfect and the view on the bush as nice as splendid.

Cultural & Historical Tours
The Reserve’s incredible biodiversity; including savannah, thornveld, riverine bush, majestic acacia trees and extensive grasslands mirror the plains of central Africa. The abundance of natural water, perennial rivers and breath-taking waterfalls on the Sundays River make Nambiti a unique sanctuary.
The area around Nambiti has a firm footing in South African history with several battles of the Anglo-Zulu and Anglo-Boer wars taking place in this vicinity – in fact many of these battlefields have been preserved as reminders of the rich history.
In addition, the Reserve is completely Malaria Free.
Allow Nambiti Plains to indulge you in an unforgettable get-away experience of fine dining, exquisite rooms, attentive staff and magical game drives. Alternatively plan a stay long enough to enjoy the surrounding battlefields.
