Lodges in Nambiti Private Game Reserve

Mikael Sweden

The Lions Valley Lodge is nothing less than fantastic! You get so well-accomodated here and in personal and friendly way it is i real treat. And the Nambiti Game Reserve has everything you can expect in terms of wildlife viewing and, very important, a great variation of habitats (savannah, bushveld, gorges, rivers, waterfall, ponds, and waterholes) you never get bored during the safari tours, which include 2x3 hours per day, one starting at sunrise (05.00 am) and the other in late afternoon. The guides know everything about the animals behaviour and will keep you safe in all instances - wildlife is at your doorstep meaning no free and unsupervised walks are allowed! The lodge staff offers great service and the food (full pension is mandatory) is delicious, you cannot ask for more.

We were extremely happy with the food, ambience and especially the staff! Our ranger Siya is very professional and knows a lot about the surroundings and animals. We always felt safe and were just overall happy with our stay at the Umzolozolo Lodge.

This was an incredible 4 days during our South Africa vacation. 5 stars throughout - the rooms, the food, the staff, the whole experience. JP took us out on game drives and he was the best. Knowledgeable, funny and caring - not just about the guests ( were we warm enough, what did we want to drink for our sundowners?) but also about the animals. He maintained a very strict code of conduct to ensure animals protection and well being and really respected that. After we left there and went on a self drive game drive, we laughed that we wished we had taken him with us for the rest of the holiday. Meals were delicious and especially appreciated really good vegetarian options instead of being offered “salad” or “omelettes”. The owners were in residence while we were there and it was an added bonus to meet them - loved their commitment to the environment.

We had the most amazing stay at Esiweni . The staff go out of their way to make you comfortable and meet your every need. The food was exceptional with each meal being an absolute treat. The rooms were beautiful, so romantic, private and very comfortable. We had great massages on our deck and booked a fabulous hot air balloon flight with a private breakfast in the middle of the reserve , it will stay for ever in our memories . We had very exciting game drives with our very knowledgeable game ranger Pemba. The lodge also went out of their way to give us a special private dinner in our last night for our anniversary with Zulu danses. Thank you Esiweni team for all the special little touches and making our stay unforgettable!
