Beyond game drives — become an active force protecting the Big Five wilderness of KwaZulu-Natal.
You Don't Just Observe.
You Act.
Situated on a private Big Five reserve in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, Nambiti Research Camp is your base for meaningful conservation work. Engage with dedicated research teams on vital projects — camera trap surveys, wildlife monitoring, and species identification.
Your involvement extends to the community too — contributing to water sanitation, rhino conservation, and wildlife education at local schools.
