The Nambiti Conservancy
Nambiti Conservancy is a private Big Five game conservancy set on 10,000 hectares of malaria-free bushveld in KwaZulu Natal. It is situated 25 km's east of Ladysmith and is only 3½ hours from Johannesburg, 2½ hours from Durban and 40 minutes from the Drakensberg.
What to do?
Big 5 Safaris
Both traditional, open-vehicle safari game drives or ranger guided bushwalks are available where the big five and over thirty other species of game can be seen.
Battlefields
The area boasts a history that dates back to the late 1800's. The Battle of Elandslaagte was fought on the Nambiti Conservancy and the original hospital still stands within its boundaries.
Fishing
Relax by fishing in the Sundays River which flows through the reserve. Try your luck at any of our well stocked dams while enjoying the sound of our 40 metre waterfalls.
Keri Research
Keri Research has been saving wildlife through engaging people in scientific research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary to conserve the environment.
Golf
Enjoy an afternoon round of golf while the animals are resting. The 18-hole golf course at the Ladysmith Country Club is the recommended local course.
Mountain Biking
With many safe cycle routes in this area mountain biking is a must. The rugged hilly terrain as you close in on the Drakensburg is perfect for mountain biking.
