Nambiti Game Reserve - South Africa
Step out of your world and into ours.
The Homestead is an ultra-luxury eco-lodge on the Nambiti Private Game Reserve, in the malaria-free KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa. Steeped in history and bristling with technology, this new safari lodge is hewn from local ironstone and the roof is planted with indigenous grasses, embedding The Homestead into the natural environment. The Homestead will get you closer to the big five, with the chance to spot over 50 protected mammal species and over 300 bird species.
Discover The Homestead
Positive impact for people and planet.
We believe that we’re all responsible for creating a better world for each other and future generations, and that means taking care of the people around us and the planet we live on. Find out more about how we are working to eradicate poaching, support local communities and incorporate sustainable practices in everything we do.
Sore, jetlagged muscles soothed by world-class therapists using Terre D’Afrique oils. Starting your day with a swim in your private infinity pool at sunrise. Yoga classes on The Homestead deck. Mesmerising flames flickering in the firepits.

- The Dung Beetle: 🔹 There are approximately 780 species of Dung Beetle in South Africa alone. They vary in size from a minuscule 5mm to a larger species at 50mm. 🔹 On average dung beetles can roll a ball of dung 50 times their own weight – these little guys are pretty strong! 🔹 If it weren’t for beetles, dung would harden and cover the ground. Grass and other plants would find it very difficult to grow. They also help to assist in fertilising the ground by breaking up and burying the dung. #visithomestead #thehomestead #dungbeetle #wildlifephotography #wanderlust #igtravel #travelgram #instatravel #luxurytravel #luxurysafari #africansafari #southafrica #nambiti

- Peace, Love and Understanding These three words form the foundations of The Homestead’s ethos. It’s a haven of harmony created close to the rugged plains where battles once raged. Acknowledging our past helps clarify our future. The original farmhouse ruins on the site are reminders of the region’s past, and so we chose to restore them to reflect the spirit of each word. Peace: A serene studio for our guests to practice yoga and meditate. Love: A beautiful private dining space under the stars. Understanding: A curated museum, filled with original maps, letters and artefacts from the moments in history that shaped South Africa. .

- These two 😍 Did you know that Giraffes are social animals? They generally live in herds of about 10 to 20 individuals, but the herds can grow to 50 individuals. Funnily enough, a group of giraffes are called “towers.” 🦒 . . . #visithomestead #thehomestead #giraffes #wildlifephotography #wanderlust #igtravel #travelgram #instatravel #luxurytravel #luxurysafari #africansafari #southafrica #nambiti

- On a recent trip to the Nambiti Game Reserve Lodge, our Front Office Team gave us some exciting snippets on how their trip went: “My trip to Namiti Game Reserve Lodge was an experience of a lifetime. Seeing The Homestead for the first time was a surreal moment, actually being on site and seeing the rooms was so exciting. Overall, the entire area is very calming and therapeutic and a great escape from the busy city life. I left the place feeling rejuvenated and relaxed." - Thobela "My first experience at the Nambiti Game Reserve was truly amazing, from the accommodation, the food and the Game Drives. It was incredible to experience the wild animals up close. An experience I would recommend for everyone!" - Sifiso . . . #visithomestead #thehomestead #wanderlust #igtravel #travelgram #instatravel #luxurytravel #luxurysafari #africansafari #southafrica #nambiti
