Komati Tented Lodge

A destination of outstanding scenic beauty and history, Nkomazi Game Reserve, known as the 'place of water' is situated near to the picturesque town of Barberton, in the malaria-free escarpment of Mpumalanga, and is just a 3 hour drive from Johannesburg.

The reserve is 15,000 hectares, and offers unique safari-based activities including guided drives, guided walks and bird-watching. Fly-fishing, star gazing and rock art viewing can also be arranged.

Watch the sun rise over the North Eastern boundaries of the reserve during a morning game drive or take in the spectacular view from lookout points among the rocky granite sentinels in the highlands of the reserve.

Waterfalls and rock pools are impressive, while rolling grasslands support large herds of free-roaming wildlife, making Nkomazi a game-viewing haven.

The lodge offers Deluxe and Luxury safari tents, all positioned to blend into the landscape. Each tent is linked by decked walkways and man-made paths through the bush. There are also 2 Family Tents.  Each tent has a ceiling fan, tea and coffee making facilities, and an indoor shower and outdoor bath, as well as a private expansive sun deck with a private plunge pool.

The main lodge area also features a gift boutique, an outdoor boma dining area and a lounge tent with a viewing deck.

The River Retreat offers an escape to enjoy some pampering. Awaken your senses and allow the experienced therapists to rejuvenate body, mind and soul.

The overall atmosphere really has a true 'Out of Africa' feel, but with all the added comforts and luxuries of 5* accommodation.
