There was no TV , but there was air conditioning. In the package we booked breakfast and dinner was included . But watch out we owed a fair amount of money at check out for sodas and ice teas we had with dinner . They said my tour guide should have told us that it wasn’t included. ( she didn’t ) A must is having a massage . My husband and I have probably had 100 massages. We both agreed that it was the best full body massage we have ever had. The safaris exceeded expectations, we saw everything but a Rhinoceros. Overall a fantastic experience.

A fantastic experience for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Nkambeni and would definitely recommend it. The breakfasts and dinners were excellent. The buffets for both varied daily and the variety was great. Staff were all very attentive and friendly. A friendly warning: The lodge’s gates close at 5:30pm, so ensure that you give yourself enough time to meet the time limit.

We had an amazing few days here as part of an organised tour and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were incredible, friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and plentiful and the safari tents were perfect. On the first evening we saw a herd of elephants at the camps watering hole a few metres away which was so exciting! A special shout out to our guides for the safari game drives, Simon & Jeremiah who were amazing and made sure we saw the big 5 and so much more. Highly recommend this camp.

Nkambeni's staff is the friendliest, most helpful staff I've ever seen and experienced at a Safari Camp. The food is of an excellent quality and during our 5 day stay at Nkambeni, without having left the camp, we saw rhinos, hippos, elephants, kudus, waterbucks and a buffalo right next to the fence! The facilities are clean and well-kept. Hot water and solar panels as well as a spa makes Nkambeni an unforgettable place.
