I've been on several safaris and was unsure about booking at Nambiti Hills since I had not heard of the reserve before, but was completely blown away when we got there. First of all, we drove in from Johannesburg and it was a lovely drive, especially the last hour. Absolutely beautiful villas, a great common area, great food and great... More

Travelled from Jo'burg to stay at Nambiti Hills (approx 3,5 - 4 hours drive) and I can say that it was definitely worth the trip. The lodge is stunning, all rooms are luxurious with the little extra touches that make it so very special. We were treated exceptionally well by all staff. There was no worries about being hungry -... More

If you want the safari experience along with service, comfort and gourmet meals this is your choice. We were in Durban and Nambiti Hills is a very easy 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive from Durban. The staff greets you the moment you arrive and truly sees to all your needs. My wife and I were traveling with my wife's... More

Being our first holiday together, my girlfriend and I were looking for a more luxurious lodge as a nice treat at the end of our roadtrip around KwaZulu-Natal, and luxury is exactly what we found at Nambiti Hills! It is ideally located halfway between Johannesburg and Durban. Being a small lodge that can only host 10 people, Nambiti was just... More

I wasn't sure what to expect from Nambithi Hills but absolutely loved every moment of my stay there and only wished I could extend it for another night or two. The lodge area is stylish and luxurious without being pretentious or uncomfortable. The game drives were wonderful and we saw incredible lions and an elephant closer than I have ever... More

I booked this on the internet so most of the information I had was reading the website and on trip advisor. Lack of information is was the problem with this resort. That started with trying to book it and having failed... More

It is in a great location, has wonderful open plains with a back drop of mountains, the game viewing seems to get better all the time and its Malaria Free. Plus its within easy reach of the East coast and the Indian Ocean, the Drakensberg Mountains and the... More

We recently visited Nambiti Hills Game Lodge with friends from the UK. We were fortunate enough to see, at very close range, 4 of the Big Five on our game drives. We had the added pleasure of visiting the Cheetah Conservation Project where we had very close contact with Cheetah, Caracul, Wild Cats and the 5th of the Big Five,... More
