i chose nthambo after reading tripadvisor reviews myself so feel like i owe it to leave one as well. nthambo is an INCREDIBLE place...even better than the pictures and great reviews lead you believe. you must see it in person. the open-air huts have such tasteful decor and the stunning views of the bush greet you in the morning, while...

From the moment Isaac, the tracker, collected us from The airport, the adventure began. We never imagined we would get so close to the animals, but with the help and expertise of Isaac, Harvey and Kevin we saw amazing animals and sights. The camp was not only beautiful but expertly run and a home from home. Yolandi and Happiness served... More

Our experience here left us truly spoilt! Not only are the rooms & setting fantastic, the service and safari were second to none. All the staff were friendly & helpful but also understood at times on holiday you want some privacy. The food was also very good & as much or little as you wanted. Harvey (Gawie) the ranger was...

My husband and I stayed here 3 nights in late December 2012 with our son and daughter-in-law. What a great place! Everything was superb - the hostesses, the cottage, the safaries, the staff, the food, the friendship. We saw a lot of wild animals and the lions were really tremendous to watch eating a Buffalo! Everybody was so friendly and... More

There are times when you go on holiday and find somewhere nice that words cannot describe the true affect that the resort has on your time away. This was one of those holidays, from the moment we were met to the moment we sadly said our goodbyes, we felt that we were treated as family. The hospitality shown by the... More

We had a delightful stay here and cannot sing enough praises for the managers. Our reservations had been messed up by an agency but everything was settled very graciously and we were made to feel welcome. The animal sighting safaris were tremendous and we benefitted a lot from the knowledgeable guide and tracker. The treehouse accommodations are charming and felt... More

We spent a couple nights at nThambo in October and a couple nights at its sister camp, Africa-On-Foot. Both camps are great and offer a little different take on accommodations and safari experience. The knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to provide an amazing safari experience, between our guide Harvey and our tracker Isaac, was way above anything we had anticipated. We... More

Everything was just perfect all along the 3 nights we spent at nThambo Tree camp. The quality of accommodation (pretty and convenient rooms, sun-deck and Wifi in the common area), the home-made food simple but delicious and the staff nice and competent. The place is in the middle of nowhere and we had the chance to approach the big five... More

Spent 3 nights here on our first 'proper' safari. The treehouses were very novel, each had a double bed with bathroom at the rear. There was a small balcony to sit, though only a couple of basic camping chairs! The views were lovely. The bathroom had seen better days! The room had a fan. There was no drinking water or... More

Everyone at nThambo was amazing. I don't have a single complaint. In fact this was the highlight of our 3 week trip in Africa. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the food was delicious, fresh, and healthy, and the staff were friendly, helpful and made everyone feel at home.
