Nkomazi Game Reserve is a highly recommended Mpumalanga game lodge providing a wildlife experience for discerning anyone visiting Grass & Wetlands.
An untamed African experience awaits at Nkomazi Game Reserve, surrounded by towering mountains, broad river valleys and impressive grasslands. This piece of land, south-west of the Kruger National Park, stretches out over 15 000 hectares is home to a diverse ecosystem that supports both Highveld and Lowveld game species, as well as an abundance of birdlife. This makes for spectacular game viewing and a unique safari experience.
What to expect at the lodge/reserve
At the Nkomazi Game Reserve, true tranquility is found. The lodge is characterised by the Komati River which continuously emits a gentle rumble.
