Game Drives on Nambiti Private Game Reserve

Head off on an open, game-viewing vehicle at daybreak or early afternoon. A personal guide will ensure that you get the most out of the experience, enjoying the abundance of wildlife and unspoilt African vistas. You will stop to be given a chance to stretch your legs and wonder at the sounds and silences of the bush, while drinking in majestic sunrises or sunsets. The memory of sipping an Amarula coffee or sundowner in such humbling surroundings is one that will stay with you forever.

Boma Dinners at Springbok Lodge

On fine summer and balmy winter nights, guests can arrange to dine around a crackling fire in the boma, an experience which is sure to be a highlight of your stay.

Bush Breakfasts

Bacon and eggs take on a taste of their own when savoured in the African veld. The bush breakfasts are exciting for our guests as well as our staff who literally pack up everything and set up 'kitchen' in a scenic spot. Often our plans are ‘put to bed’ though, when the Ellies invite themselves to breakfast!

Fly Fishing on the Nambiti Private Game Reserve

The reserve's well stocked dams offer the keen fly fisherman a chance to indulge in this tranquil pastime (all fishing is on a ‘catch-and-release' basis).
Adding an extra element of enjoyment are the resident hippo.

Massage Therapy

By prior arrangement, massage therapists will travel from Ladysmith, offering reflexology, full body massage, back massage and Indian head massage in the privacy of your tent or, if the weather allows, out on your deck!

Battlefields KwaZulu Natal

Absorb the rich history of the area by enjoying a day tour with a registered professional tour guide. You will ‘relive’ the war as your guide shares with you his vast knowledge of and passion for the legendary bygone battles.
Visits to monuments and 'places of rest' and stories about the grand heritage of the Battlefields surrounding Nambiti make for a most interesting experience. A visit to Rorkes Drift and Isandlwana battlefields approximately 60 minutes away can also be arranged.

The Elandslaagte area boasts a history that dates back to the late 1800s when some of the bloodiest battles in history were fought as Zulu, Boer and British forces clashed over land and sovereignty. The Battle of Elandslaagte was fought on the Nambiti Private Game Reserve and the original hospital still stands within the reserve’s boundaries.
