    About Nambiti Private Game Reserve

    Nambiti is a Big 5 Game reserve which is situated near Ladysmith, in the heart of the battlefields area which is roughly 3.5 hours from Johannesburg and 2.5 hours from Durban. The location of the reserve allows for diversity and therefore lots of different wildlife. There are currently over 20 species of game in the reserve.

    The game reserve started as a place of sanctuary for orphaned elephants. Soon after, as the elephant population began to grow, the internal fences were remover as well as the alien vegetation in order to create what would be the Nambiti Game Reserve. A Game fence was then erected to house the 22 000 acres of the reserve. Following the set up the reserve, the area was then stocked with naturally occurring game which had been driven out by the farming.

    In 2005, there was a proposal to build lodges within the reserve. This proposal was taken on and 3 more of the surrounding farms were added to the reserve. There are now a handful of luxury lodges in the reserve, some made from the old farmhouses on the land. In 2007 there was a claim for the land by the locals. The matter was settled and now the community is actively involved in the upkeep of the area.

    The reserve offers the finest game viewing along with some of the top lodges in Southern Africa.

    The area around the game reserve was where the Anglo-Zulu and Anglo-Boer wars took place. Majority of the battlefields have been preserved and there are many monuments and graves to see. This makes for a good day trip as they are just around the corner.

    Why We Love It
    • We love smaller lodges for the feeling of truly personal service and hospitality that so often results, and Elephant Rock really delivers in this area, with guests consistently praising the warmth of the home-from-home hospitality on offer
    • Excellent location with great views over the active waterhole below - not much can touch the experience of relaxing in a swinging chair or even enjoying an outdoor shower on your private deck whilst simultaneously taking in the views of the animals coming in to drink!
    • Elephant Rock is one of the more affordable lodges in the Nambiti reserve despite being so popular - it truly offers superior value for money
