An easy 5 stars for Nambiti Hills Private Game Lodge, but especially for its staff and the level of service we (my fiance and two very close friends of ours) experienced. This was our first visit to South Africa and our first time on Safari and the folks at Nambiti made sure it felt like staying with family friends who... More

Nambiti Hills is a true luxury lodge and because this Game Reserve is still pretty "new and undiscovered" the value of money is exceptional! This lodge has the best location within the reserve, set on a hilltop with views over the game reserve. The rooms are classy, elegant, luxurious and clean with attention to detail. This is the place you... More

Coming back home to Ladysmith and getting to experience the real Africa few minutes from our birth place was extremely special. Nambiti Hills made every effort to make it the most amazing holiday! We will take back with us to Australia the fondest memories and amazing experiences! There is not one thing we can fault! All we can say is... More

This was our first experience of a game reserve in our first visit to South Africa and we could not have asked for anything better. From the greeting at our arrival at the lodge to our (sad) farewell we were treated as friends by our hosts and looked after with every attention by all the staff. The room was large... More

We were fortunate enough to get one night at the very last minute at this luxury private game lodge over the Easter weekend, and how we regret we could not have stayed longer! The road leading to the reserve from the N11 is a gravel road and with the recent rains some sections of the road were quite bad. This... More

We were more than happy. Really big rooms, very well decorated, almost brand new. The common rooms amazing. Staff excellent. Very good guided tours. Big fives possible, ok, we saw only elephants, rhinos - no buffalo, no leopard, no lions. But so many giraffes, young ones fighting, zebras and many, many other animals. Negative: very small pool, food ok, but... More

If you are new to safaris or game reserves, as we were, you cannot go wrong by making a reservation at Nambiti Hills. It's just three hours from Durban and about four from Johannesburg. But it's a completely different world. Nambiti Hills is one of about seven lodges in the 20,000-acre Nambiti Game Reserve. It has to be the most... More

Another fabulous experience at Nambithi Hills. The team at the lodge went out of their way to accomodate any request we had and really made my wifes birthday special with a Private Seafood Dinner set up in our suite. Well run and well worth the money.

Fabulous stay, hospitality second to none, felt more like a long weekend in a large friendly house than a hotel, staff cannot do enough for you - food excellent, setting superb, service outstanding. Accommodation very good. Game drives superb. Cannot thank Brendon, Ross, Kevin, Gemma and all the other staff enough.
