Nsala Safari Camp is located in a game-rich private game reserve sharing unfenced borders with the world-renowned Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve and the popular Kruger National Park. Nsala is an intimate and rustic bush camp hugged by marula and leadwood trees, and is perched on the banks of a dry riverbed overlooking a gentle s-bend in the meandering river.

The design of the camp is simple in its structure and offers all the charm of a bygone era while not compromising on modern comforts.

Nsala maintains a standard of comfortable luxury while simultaneously offering a completely eco-aware, off the grid experience for those seeking a safari that reduces their carbon footprint.

The camp sits on an elevated area guarded by a high-reaching thatched roof. 3 chalets flow out from the main section housing a swimming pool, lounge/dining area, and boma.

Each of the chalets is fully-enclosed and has a wooden glass sliding door.

3 Thatched Roof Enclosed Chalets

3 thatched chalets (rondawels) flow out from the main section housing a swimming pool, lounge/dining area, and boma.

Each of the chalets is fully-enclosed and has a wooden glass sliding door leading out onto a small patio area complete with table and chairs for relaxation.

Decor is subdued with a light colour palette carried throughout – there’s plenty of crisp, white linen adorning the beds, monochromatic wildlife images adorning the walls and furniture designed from a mix of wood grains. There’s plenty of storage space, and a stand-alone unit complete with shelves and hanging space.

The bathroom is located in a separate room, and has a toilet, sink, bathroom furniture and an expansive shower.
