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.
