The Battlefields, South Africa

Nambiti Game Reserve

High Concentrations of Game with Fishing and the Battlefields

The Nambiti Reserve might only be 8,093-hectares in size but it holds one of the highest game concentrations in Africa.

This could be down to the fact that this perfectly sized reserve, 23 kilometres east of Ladysmith, also possesses large herds of herbivores that benefit from Nambiti’s range of habitats that include savannah, thornveld, ravine brush, acacia trees and grasslands.

Running through Nambiti is the magnificent Sundays River and being one of the fastest flowing rivers in South Africa it has gouged some 40-metre waterfalls into the landscape of this reserve. This is also one of best places to see cheetah, as well as being conveniently close to the Anglo-Boer battlefields should you like to mix a little history into your safari.
