Nambiti Plains

This was a repeat visit to Nambiti Plains. The location is so convenient and easy to get to. The service was impeccable and every small detail well thought out. The meals were fabulous with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. We enjoyed seeing animals come to the watering hole. Our guide did a great job of showing us the reserve and we had amazing sightings including lion and cheetah. We will definitely return!

Our family of four stayed for four nights ahead of a wedding in Durban. We had a fabulous stay. The staff were so kind. The food is incredible. The rooms are stunning. Our 2 rooms with shared entrance were perfect for families. We joined Jono and our friends joined Jason- both absolutely superb. Every drive was fabulous and unforgettable. Some of our sightings were jaw dropping. Sharing the pool with the elephants was an obvious highlight! Would highly recommend a smaller lodge like this rather than a larger one that would feel less personal. Jono struck a great camaraderie with our 12 year old son. Be prepared for some serious separation anxiety when you have to leave. We were very sad to wave Jono, the rest of the staff and Nambiti Plains goodbye and would love to go back. Huge thank you for a terrific stay.

This hotel is truly exceptional. It might be the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered in dozens of countries. No matter what your priorities are for chosing a safari hotel - the game, the rooms, the food… - this hotel checks all the boxes. The game drives were outstanding, with a great ranger (Graham) that helped us spot many animals up close. The hotel itself was fabulous, and the rooms are huge and quite impressive. All the meals were à la carte, with different options. You will eat a lot. To sum things up, this is a great choice for any traveller.

Amazing! We had Jason as our guide, and he exceeded our expectations. He took us in the best tour, where we saw breathtaking views of giraffes, lions, cheetahs, elephants, and Cape buffalo in the four days we were there. He was so much fun and ensured we were having a great time with his hospitality, knowledge of the animals, and pleasant conversation. The chefs at the lodge were also exquisite-we all had a wonderful time!

An incredible safari experience. Our tour guide (Jason) was knowledgeable and extremely personable! I like that they keep you with the same guide for your entire stay. We managed to find all of the big tickets items! Elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos, and more! No safari outing was without fun discoveries. It was also fun tracking and trying to find the animals with our guide. Each safari trip comes with a scenic stop for either alcohol or coffee/tea. Food was also incredible, the meals were consistently amazing and the chefs were able to adjust the meals to fit preferences and restrictions. Between safari snacks and meals we were able to try Warthog, Kuru, Ox tails, Ostrich, and various dungs! Lodgings were great. Each lodging had a gorgeous view. Often cool animals such as giraffes would wander right up to your windows and in front of the lodge to drink from the pond. The rooms themselves had great accommodations, some of them had private outdoor showers! The entire staff were all extremely attentive and memorized our (confusing) names in hours. They were so friendly that you can feel comfortable approaching them for anything you need. It is hard to do this lodge justice as there are so many small extra little things that they do to make your stay amazing that I could not list them all! Though particularly appreciated was the after safari shots!
