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.

They do not tend to pair again with their mates from previous years. . . . #visithomestead #thehomestead #birdlife #cattleegret #birdsofinstagram #wanderlust #igtravel #travelgram #instatravel #luxurytravel #luxurysafari #africansafari #southafrica #nambiti
