    Couple of food order mistakes but nothing disastrous.

    Very private and exclusive, their are only 7 suites which means a maximum of 14 people at any given time. The staff at the lodge was amazing, the guides were exceptional and the experience was more than wirth every penny.

    The only regret was having to leave at the end of the holiday

    Only one word can be used to describe Nambiti Plains and that is - exceptional. From the ,moment we arrived the staff were attentive but never intrusive and were responsive to every need. The rooms was beyond our expectations. The food was prepared very well and plated at an extremely high level.The game drives with our guide “JP” were of the brightest quality with unbelievable animal sightings and his knowledge and ability to impart this made for extreme,y interesting trips.

    My daughter and I had an excellent stay at Nambiti plains. Having stayed at a few lodges, this was my favourite, the lodge location and the small exclusive size of the lodge made the stay even more special. We loved every minted and only wish we could have stayed longer

    Nambiti Plains is outstanding. It's luxurious but relaxed and comfortable at the same time. The rooms are exquisite and attention to detail is superb from the moment you arrive. Excellent food and service. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Our game guide, JP, was great. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and made our drives fun and interesting. We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you everyone at Nambiti Plains! We were celebrating an engagement and the staff went out of their way to make it a special occasion. Nambiti Game reserve itself has excellent game and an interesting and varied terrain. This was the right lodge for us!

    Not much to be honest, but if we are being very picky the food in the restaurant was although of a very high standard was at times a little rich for our taste and some simple smaller options of sandwiches etc would be good. but overall the whole place was amazing!

    The personal welcome by the hotel staff upon arrival and every time we returned from a game drive was such a nice touch. The suite we stayed in was unbelievable, luxurious, spacious and extremely comfortable and romantic with a stunning view of the open plain from our private balcony. The game drives were quite simply the experience of a lifetime! JP our game driver and guide was so friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife and natural surroundings of the reserve, we saw 4 of the big 5 just missing out on the elusive Leopard! The wide range of big game, birds insects and flora on the Nambiti Reserve is incredible and i would recommend this location and accommodation to anyone, 10/10!

    The staff are absolutely exceptional, the way everything is coordinated from the time you arrive at their parking lot is 5 star. The accommodation has a very earthy yet elegant feel to it that is literally situated in the heart of an open game reserve. Yes, the animals do come right up to the lodges as there aren't any fences. Game viewing is also 5 stars, which boggles my mind because the reserve is not that far off to the nearest town (its an incredible work of conservation).

    Nothing at all to dislike

    Hi, my wife and I thoroughly loved our 2 night/4 game drive stay at Nambiti Plains. This was our 1st game reserve experience (indeed our 1st visit to South Africa). It’s unlikely would could have had a better experience anywhere else. Everything was perfect. All the staff, both at the lodge and the guides, were exemplary. We saw so many animals, often at very close quarters, including 4 of the Big 5 within our 1st 24 hours. The elusive leopard was, well, elusive despite JP's best endeavours. It’s very likely we’ll be back in the near future.

    What an amazing place! We had such a perfect stay at Nambiti Plains. The staff are amazingly attentive, the setting is stunning and the food is fantastic. The kitchen team made a truly amazing effort catering for vegan dietary requirements, alongside some allergies. Our guides Jono and JP were so knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. The wildlife was spectacular, and it was amazing to see so many animals just from the balcony of our room. Such a relaxing place and our room was stunning. We can't wait to come back.

    It would have been nice to meet slightly fewer game vehicles when out on game drives, although Jason did a great job in making the drives as exclusive as possible

    Luxurious rooms, great staff and fabulous opportunities to see the wildlife on the game drives with Jason, our very knowledgeable guide.
