    Everything was 5 star safari experience and we saw a hippo grazing in the sun warming up as it was super chilly weather.

    Property has proper modern rooms. Very scenic estate. Service is so personalised and all inclusive. Great tour guide from Lebo and GM Sipho. Very good setting 1st day with Boma. This was definitely one for the books. Best safari I’ve done to date.

    Although we called 10 minutes before arrival as instructed , we had to call another 3 times and waited for nearly an hour in parking area to be collected which is not normal at Nambiti . Also the bath looked lovely but was in an open area in the room with no screens or doors which meant no privacy to have a bath , which was not great and could have been planned better for a family holiday . The shower in contrast was in a private room

    All was lovely. Great staff , beautiful facilities, great Game Ranger. Saw 4 of big 5 plus lots of other animals

    There is nothing that could have been better!

    Nambiti Hills is as close to heaven on earth as you can get. From the beautiful location, exceptional service, beautiful game drives with coffee at dawn or a drink at sundown, to the heavenly meals and dreamy, comfortable and spotlessly clean rooms, Nambiti Hills is paradise. Do not hesitate to book here. I would go back in a heartbeat.

    Senzo and Vusi and the other staff were super friendly. Vusi made the game drives really fun and made sure we see all the animals. I have never been so close to lions or elephants or Rhinos in the wild like how I experienced at Nmabiti. Will be back

    My only negative is that as it was a milestone celebration for my wife and I that they could have been more attentive to that. The resort did lack some personal touches which we have experienced at other lodges.

    The staff were all just amazing - they were all friendly and really helpful. The game viewing was great. The rooms were lovely and opulent. The decor modern and the food was exceptional.

    I had a massage which unfortunately was not very good.

    The lodge has just renovated and everything has been beautifully done. Our ranger, Lebo, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The lodge has an amazing view and pool so it's perfect for relaxing. I was sick with flu the first night, the staff were very kind and brought our 3 course dinner to our room.

    Most meals were great but the duck was over cooked and very tough so had to send it back. They were lovely however and an alternative was offered and was quickly available.

    Staff were brilliant friendly kind and attentive. The Game drives were very good. The attention to detail was great, while at dinner or breakfast your room is cleaned, mosquito nets draw beds turned down etc....

    The food could be improved, especially for a 5 star lodge we were expecting more of a fine dining experience.

    It is a beautiful location. And the game drives were the most amazing experience seeing so many of the big 5 up close. Our game ranger Wonder was so good, excellent service, so knowledgeable and helped us see so many animals.

    A relaxing getaway

    We thought it was a bit odd that there was a x1 drink limit on the game drives. This didn't affect us since we're not big on drinking anyway - however, it was a bit unusual and a few other guests had the same remarks. We had booked this stay over New Years as a getaway to do something special for the occasion; we were surprised that there was no special celebration/dinner/event to ring in the New Year.

    The breakfast is fab with quite a lot of variety - fresh fruits and juice, pastries, a la carte etc. The tea and dinner were also up to standard - it would be great if they added a few more elevated South African classics. The common areas and rooms are beautifully decorated with a lot of attention to detail, we particularly enjoyed the small patio and the large windows of the bedroom that looked out onto the veld where warthogs, nyala, and kudu were strolling past, as well as the beautiful weaver birds building nests in the trees. I had an in-room massage, which was fab. The reserve has a plethora of animals one would hope to see on a game drive - it's perfect for first-timers and foreigners. Our ranger Joe was knowledgeable and patient. Overall, it was a very relaxing vacation.

    Nambiti hills was an amazing experience for myself and my partner. We were fortunate enough to experience incredible sightseeing during our game drives with our guide Joe who was extremely experienced. All the staff were so kind and friendly, and the food was both healthy and delicious. Its truly a little gem.
