About Nambiti Plains
Nambiti Plains Game lodge is a 5 Star lodge in the Central area of the Nambiti Game Reserve with 7 Luxury Suites. 4 Luxury Suites 3 Honeymoon Suites.
The suites all have their private verandas for relaxing and doing a bit of in-between game drive, game viewing! There is underfloor heating for the chilly winter months and fans to keep the rooms cool in the summer. The lodge is done in a very minimalist style of decor with the beams exposed below the thatched roof, stone walls and screened floors, the service and the offering is nothing short of luxurious.
The rooms all have huge floor to ceiling sliding doors which you can open for uninterrupted views from the bed or while you are lazing in the bath.
The main lodge is thatched as well, it has wooden decks overlooking the reserve where you can relax with a nice cold drink and do some game viewing or some reading, perhaps watch some animals drinking and bathing at the waterhole. There is a swimming pool to enjoy on warm days which you may have to share ( or vacate ) when the elephants come along for a drink which seems to happen fairly regularly.
They take mealtimes seriously at Nambiti Plains and fine dining is definitely the order of the day! The Lodge belongs to a group of lodges called "Flavours of KZN".
