Winding wooden pathways lead the way from the main camp, through the lush gardens and to the secluded chalets, nestled into the bush. There are a total of six luxury chalets (Nambu can accommodate up to 12 people in camp) each with a separate deck area and private entrance. Two of the chalets are interleading, making them ideal for a family travelling together. Chalets three and five have a garden view, while the remaining four have uninterrupted views of wilderness beyond.
Light and airy, each of the chalets are equipped for a stylish and comfortable stay in the bush. Expect well-appointed chalets furnished in iconic safari-style decor with rustic finishes.
Each chalet has air-conditioning, storage space and luxury bathroom amenities. Just recently, they were upgraded to incorporate hotel standard sockets that include plugs, USB, and USBC charging next to each side of the bed. Chalets have comfortable king size beds with modern bathrooms overlooking the rugged bushveld.
Nambu is the perfect hideaway to cocoon yourself in luxury while falling asleep to the sounds of nature.

Where toFind Us
Nambu Camp is located in the Big 5 Olifants West Nature Reserve in the heart of the Greater Kruger, 16.2 km outside of Hoedspruit.
Guests fly to Hoedspruit/Eastgate Airport from Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban, and are met by their host from Nambu and driven the last distance to camp. This last leg is a drive through a big five area, so keep your eyes peeled for early game-viewing.
Those choosing to self-drive from Johannesburg, can enjoy a scenic 5-hour drive to camp. Once in the reserve, self-drivers will find the roads easily navigable.
