Listing Description

Perched atop an ancient anthill, Nambu Camp offers a majestic vantage point within the heart of the Greater Kruger in the Balule Game Reserve. This six-bedroom safari camp boasts unparalleled views of a winding dry riverbed, a bustling waterhole, and the breathtaking Drakensberg Mountain range that stretches across the distant horizon, all framed by the lodge’s distinctive and open design.

For nearly 40 years, the Nambu property has been cherished by the Drinkwater family, passed down through generations and steeped in memories shared with loved ones. The name “Nambu,” meaning ‘river’ in the local IsiThonga language, pays homage to the natural water source that flows through the traverse, from the family name to the nearby Olifant’s River. Amidst the soaring tawny eagles and the gentle presence of herds of elephants, this hilltop lodge stands as a sanctuary for wildlife enthusiasts surrounded by nature’s splendor.

Driven by a desire to share their slice of paradise with the world, Nambu Camp was born. The camp features six safari-style bedrooms, each offering double modern bathrooms and an outdoor seating area. Guests can unwind during the heat of the day by the camp’s inviting poolside or indulge in birdwatching from the lodge’s expansive viewing platform before enjoying a mid-day brunch at the main camp.

At Nambu, guests can partake in two daily activities amidst the vast expanse of the Big 5 reserve. Whether venturing out on foot for a bushwalk or embarking on a safari drive, there’s endless opportunity to explore South Africa’s true wilderness and encounter its diverse inhabitants.

Rates at Nambu Camp include luxurious accommodations, three delectable meals daily, daily activities such as bushwalks and game drives, and a comforting selection of teas and coffees, ensuring an unforgettable safari experience in the heart of the African wilderness.
