Compact and friendly with high quality service

A delightful small lodge with excellent accommodation and communal areas. Very friendly and helpful staff, knowledgeable guides. Having a water hole immediately in front attracts many species. Would certainly stay here again.

OUTSTANDING! 5*!

Our stay at Nambiti Plains hotel was outstanding! The room was absolutely amazing - views over the plains with animals roaming all around (Big bonus that its one of the few lodges that dont have fences). The staff were very friendly, and being a smaller lodge made it a much more personal stay. Everything about this lodge was 5*!

Sublime Safari

Nambiti Plains is a 5 star lodge with 5 star service . The food was good . The stars at night from the deck , well that’s a celestial experience. Jason was a great ranger and tracker and we saw a beautiful lioness . Everyone was kind and helpful. The room was comfortable and luxurious

The whole experience was exceptional. The properties site and facilities are perfect but it is the people who have an infectious passion for the animals and the environment that draws you into sharing this passion. From waking up until falling asleep you are looked after by experienced staff who know how to get you to gain the most from the experience while responding to individual requirements. This was the best holiday that we have ever had and we will certainly be repeating it soon so we can’t recommend it highly enough.

Nambiti Plains Lodge ist ein Traum und jeden Euro Wert. Die Safaris sind unfassbar schön, da nur die Jeeps der 10 privaten Lodgen im Park fahren und es bis auf Leoparden alles zu sehen gab.
