Nkomazi Game Reserve

Wildlife Lodge

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.8
 

Nkomazi Game Reserve, aptly named "the place of water," offers a luxurious retreat amidst the breathtaking landscapes of towering mountains, broad river valleys, and lush grasslands. Situated along the Komati River, this ecological haven radiates serene beauty.

The Victorian military "Africa Campaign" styled tents, seamlessly blending into the natural surroundings, feature elegant furniture evoking an "Out of Africa" ambiance, paired with five-star comforts. Each tent boasts a private deck with a plunge pool, air-conditioning, minibar, electronic safe, tea-and-coffee facilities, and an en-suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor baths and showers, ensuring a refined connection to the wild.

All-inclusive dining, encompassing breakfast, lunch, and dinner, is served in the atmospheric dining tent or the open-air boma, weather permitting, showcasing fresh, local cuisine that celebrates the region's bounty. Guests can unwind in the shared lounge tent with its expansive viewing deck, browse the gift boutique, or rejuvenate at the relaxation retreat, enveloped by the reserve's tranquil vistas.

Two daily game drives at sunrise and sunset, included in the rates, offer thrilling encounters with the reserve's diverse wildlife, complemented by birdwatching, fly-fishing, and stargazing under pristine African skies. Located within a two-hour drive from Nelspruit, Nkomazi Game Reserve delivers an exquisite fusion of sophisticated luxury and the untamed allure of South Africa's ecological wonderland.
