Nestled in KwaZulu-Natal, this magnificent lodge built high upon a cliff overlooks the Sundays River. Its five independent, elegantly decorated suites each have terraces, whose sweeping views invite guests into a state of blissful reverie. The Nambiti reserve, with its bush and savanna, plains and waterfalls, is home to the region’s greatest concentration of animals. In addition to the Big Five, you can expect to cross cheetahs and black rhinos, as well as the many species of birds. At the end of a day spent in the open air, the lodge offers you relaxing comfort, accompanied by an elegant touch of French art de vivre and extraordinary African experiences.
In 2024, Relais & Châteaux not only celebrates its 70th anniversary as an Association, but the inauguration of its first Route du Bonheur (Road of Happiness).
Eight destinations–found at the ends of the earth–take travel into a truly unprecedented dimension. Their isolated locales offer a unique perspective in space and time, all while offering deep immersions in restorative sleep, transcendent dining experiences, and once-in-a-lifetime activities.
From the jungles of India to the rugged coasts of New Zealand, travelling to see wild animals in their natural habitats doesn’t just create magical memories–it can also support vital efforts to protect endangered species and other remarkable creatures for future generations to enjoy.
Whether from the lodge’s main terrace or the private terraces of each suite, you just have to Wait for the animals to find you. The view stretches over vast wilderness, including the Sundays River, bush and savanna, plains and waterfalls. Listen to the birds and look out for the movements of the Big 5.
