Nambiti Big 5 Private Game Reserve is situated in a malaria-free region in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, about 20km from Ladysmith only 3.5 hours drive from Johannesburg and 2.5 hours from Durban. With its waterfalls, diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife, this reserve offers endless opportunities and options. Now after many years of productive management, the reserve has come full circle. The fauna and flora are flourishing and has settled down into the slow-moving time of Africa. Most of the endemic species have returned giving a particularly diverse range of species not found in most protected areas in South Africa. The reserve certainly has plenty of water – so vital to the flourishing wildlife and maintaining this ecosystem at such a high level. The Nambiti Private Game Reserve is home to the “Big Five” game, namely lion, elephant, white rhino and buffalo and about thirty other game species, including cheetah, hyena and hippo. The cheetah and lion wear tracking collars. The birdlife is fairly prolific with several rare bird species found in the ravine bush alongside the two 40 metre waterfalls of the Sundays River, which flows through the reserve. The Nambiti Private Game Reserve boasts a selection of superb lodges that are masters in the field of hospitality - perfecting what has become known as the luxury photographic wildlife safari experience. Comfortable accommodations, fine cuisine, breathtaking landscapes, skilled and personable guides and a rich diversity of wildlife and flora are the aspects that a visitor may expect to enjoy.
