Tucked away in the center of the Nambiti Private Game Reserve Nambiti
Falls lies surrounded by seemingly endless grass lands. Comprising
of seven double en suite rooms and a large family cottage, Nambiti
Falls African Safari Lodge can host groups of up to 18 guests, making it
ideal for family getaways, functions or corporate events.
With an open plan lounge and dining area all kept lovely and warm
by means of a large fireplace. The lodge tends to 'rub off' on our
guests, who return time after time. Nambiti Falls is often
frequented by lion and elephant, with a variety of animals regularly viewed from the large outside entertainment area consisting
of a lapa with built in barbeque, swimming pool and open fire
place overlooking the huge fenced-in gardens. Nambiti Falls
also offers guests the opportunity to book the lodge on a self
catering basis. On this basis we still provide house keeping,
a chef to assist with cooking or to start your boma fire, while
you are out on a game drive. Fire-wood, hot beverages and mineral
water are all included, this to make your stay more comfortable.

one seems to miss out on, while in a game viewing
vehicle. By special arrangement.

Africa, including the crowned and black eagle, a pair of mischievous
vultures, some adorable owls and others. Feel the wind of their
wings as they glide millimeters over your head. Raptor talks are
done by passionate people who strive to
relocate the magnificent birds back into the wild. The Raptor
Center is a short drive from the lodge but a worth while trip.
Battlefield Tours
An excursion worth considering during your stay in the area is a tour to one of the
many battlefield sites in and around the reserve. These tours
will leave some of you in tears and others overwhelmed with awe
and respect of the soldiers and warriors of yesteryear. The tours
are fully guided and take place at some of the most interesting
battlefield sites in Natal, including Isandlwana, Rorke’s Drift,
Spion Kop, Tugela Heights, Elandslaagte, Siege of Ladysmith, Blood
River and many more.

guide and experience one of South Africa's world famous
heritage sites. Spend time gazing at the enormous rock faces or
enjoy a pancake and tea at one of many stopping points. The Drakensberg
area is renowned for its selection of curio and produce shops,
so remember to pack your cash. This can be a self drive or a guided
trip.
Cultural Tours

with food preparation, tribal clothing and traditional huts as
from the 1800`s and participate in some of their activities. Or
embark on a trip to a modern day Zulu settlement to experience
how rural people live today. Feast your eyes on 5000 year old
bushman paintings near the small town of Dundee.
Clay Pigeon Shooting
Test your skills with a morning of clay pigeon shooting. For those
whom have never tried this before, a short training session should
have you dropping clays out of the sky in no time. All equipment
and weapons are supplied by Nambiti Falls Lodge. Even for those
of you who tend to flinch at the sound of gunfire, this will be
a never to forget experience.
Golf
Enjoy a round of golf on one of South Africa's most pristine golf
courses set amongst the backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountain Range.
A choice of three courses are available in the area including
the famous Champaign Sports Resort, and are all about an hour’s
drive from the lodge, thus giving you enough time to enjoy a sundowner
on game drive. Green fees are paid at the appropriate course.
Transfers can be arranged.
Fishing
Try your luck at catching one of Nambiti's big bass on the fly
or by lure. Our well stocked dams also provide you the opportunity
of catching some huge carp. Fishing has never been so exciting,
where else can you fish while watching some of Africa's wildlife
taking a drink at their favourite watering hole?
All our fishing is strictly catch and release and rods and reels
are available at the lodge.
Swimming
Relax around our sparkling pool with an ice cold cocktail while
listening to the over 200 species of bird life Nambiti has to
offer. During our summer months the pool becomes one of the star
attractions.

majestic Drakensberg Mountain Range. See the world from a perspective
only a handful get the chance to do. Top it off with Champagne
on the Drakensburg with views of Zululand below.

Choose from a range of treatments offered by the Tulana Spa, only
twenty minutes drive from the Reserve, and rejuvenate your body,
mind and soul, after a long day’s outing under the African sun.

Southern African Night Sky". Be blown away at the clarity
and never ending vista that opens up above you. These star
