The Nambiti Game Reserve is the only one in the area sporting the Big 5 and over 40 other mammal species including hippo, hyena, Oryx, cheetah, giraffe and zebra.
The Reserve boasts an unbelievable biodiversity ranging from savannah and thornveld to rolling grasslands. Game drives at the Nambiti Plains Private Game Lodge take place in the early morning and late afternoon enabling you to experience either a glorious South African sunrise or sunset (or both should you wish). The afternoon drives are great for spotting prides of lions relaxing in the sun while buffalo and rhino cool off by the waterhole. During the evening safari’s your dedicated guide will provide interesting information about the Milky Way and constellations such as Orion’s belt and the Southern Cross. Apart from twice-daily game drives, the 5-star eco lodge in the Nambiti Game Reserve offers superb catch-and-release fishing in the dams and rivers surrounding the lodge. There is something surreal about being able to relax for an hour or two with a fishing rod in one hand and an icy cold drink in the other.
