My Husband and I stayed at the Nkambeni tented lodge in April 2010, over the easter weekend. I was pleasantly surprised as I expected a shoddy tent. This was a tent built on a wodden hut. The room was cosy, the bathroom clean. Easch tent had an outside jacuzzi. We did not use it though as I was not keen... More

Dear Latisha29, thank you for the kind and honest review, we at Nkambeni Safari Camp appreciate constructive guest feedback and use this to build onto our commitment to guest satisfaction. We removed the jacuzzis due to our new greening policy (the jacuzzis just used to much water). We also created a new kiddies play area to keep the youngsters busy... More

These are very superior raised tents, with aircon, three(!) showers, very comfortable beds, and balconies with wildlife views - a wonderful place to stay. Within minutes you can be in the Kruger, on a trip organised by the camp, spotting elephants, giraffes, lions, rhinosceros ..... Don't forget your torch and mosquito repellent, though.

Tented camp with all the luxuries, except the price. Units are well situated with aircon and on suit bathrooms with shower and open / outside showers. But you are not here to stay in your unit! Restaurant serves a great breakfast. Pub is well situated on a magnificent deck overlooking the swimming pools and the waterhole further down ( and... More

Our family of five just completed a three day stay at Nkambeni Tented Camp just inside the border of the Kruger National Park. We have taken numerous tented safaris throughout Southern Africa and found the Nkambeni experience to rate highly along them. While not the ultra five star experience of some of the very high level camps we have visited,... More

When you see tented camp, you know you have to have a little back to basic mind set. For us -insect fobia couple- especially ;-). After reading the reviews and just scared to find what ever kind of critters in our room, I was very uptight when walking into our tent. To my surprise everything looked much nicer then I... More

Nkambeni tented camp has air-conditioned tents, a deck where you are treated to spectacular views, huge swimming pool, and a fully-stocked bush bar. From dining outdoors in a boma or in the bush, indoors at the dining areas ...or just relaxing by the pool or at the bush bar! ... You can expect only the very best from your stay.... More
