Nambu Camp

With its thatched roofs and orange-red exteriors, Nambu Camp has a rather distinctive look, and inside, you'll find a classic safari lodge style. The pool (heated when needed) will quickly become a favourite hangout with its amazing views over the waterhole below. Alternatively, head for the vast viewing platform where you can enjoy an armchair safari and try to spot the resident tawny eagles. The owner is a foodie so the cuisine is top-notch; choose from an ever-changing set menu and enjoy it in the alfresco boma area.

Winding wooden pathways lead through the gardens to the six chalets, each simply decorated in neutral, earthy tones and rustic finishes. They are all furnished with plump king-sized or twin beds (with a hotel-standard charging station) and the modern bathrooms have full amenities and a rainfall shower. Each chalet has a private deck; four enjoy views of the wilderness beyond while Number 3 and 5 look onto the garden. Each is air-conditioned and they have ample storage space for personal belongings and luggage.

As is standard, Nambu Camp offers two daily game drives and the undulating landscape provides fantastic vantage points for spotting predators on the move. The Olifants River flows through the reserve, which is home to hordes of crocodile and attracts leopard, buffalo and plenty more. There are also over 250 species of birdlife within the reserve so keep those binoculars ready – you may even spot the rare Pel's fishing owl. Bush walks, led by the camp's expert guides, are also fantastic.
