Accommodation

At the Nkomazi Game Reserve, true tranquility is found. The lodge is characterised by the Komati River which continuously emits a gentle rumble.

This reminder of one's proximity to nature complements the tranquil atmosphere that is felt throughout Nkomazi Private Game Reserve. Steeped in history, the reserve is home to some of the oldest rock formations on earth, embellished by ancient San rock art.

Our lodge is situated on the banks of the Komati River, providing guests with a true African glamping experience. The camp comprises fourteen state-of-the-art tents, each furnished in an “Out of Africa” style with all the comforts of luxury accommodation. The tents blend into the natural landscape and are linked by stoned pathways through the bush.

Guest Activities

Game Drives:
Interactive game drives, lasting up to 3 hours, take place in the tranquil moods of sunrise and sunset. You are guided by your game ranger in an open game viewing vehicle and you are asked to share any particular interests with your ranger who will try to incorporate these into your game drive. On game drive guests will enjoy a sundowner drink at sunset and coffee/tea at sunrise.

Guided Game Walks:
Qualified walking guides provide the opportunity for guests to experience the excitement of approaching species on foot. No persons under the age of 16 years are permitted to join the game walks.

Guided Nature Walks:
Qualified walking guides provide the opportunity for guests to experience the excitement of tracking, bird, insect, plant and animal dropping identification. No persons under the age of 16 years are permitted to join the nature walks.

Stargazing:
With very little light pollution you can have an opportunity to see the stars and make a wish. Stargazing with our 'star rangers' and celestron scope is a must!

Fly Fishing:
With roughly 30km of the Komati River running through the reserve, fly fishing can make for a fun and adventurous activity and operates on a catch and release fish basis. Our rangers are on hand to offer some basic tuition and skills. Limited fishing equipment is available on request. Fly fishing is subject to weather and river conditions.
