NYATI Safari Lodge was established 27 years ago by the Danish couple Jørgen and Lisbeth Nielsen. The lodge is managed by a South African family, ensuring quality and excellence in every stay.

NYATI Safari Lodge is set within its own 10,000-hectare private Big Five wildlife reserve, which shares an open border with South Africa’s world-renowned Kruger National Park.

Your stay includes world-class Big Five game drives, exceptional cuisine, and a selection of wine and drinks.

Welcome to the perfect starting point for an authentic safari experience, luxurious relaxation, and unforgettable adventures.

The lodge features a main building with a restaurant, bar, shop, swimming pool, and lounge area. Accommodation includes 10 exclusive River Bungalows, 6 Private Olifant Villa Suites, 5 Luxury Rhino Tents, and the separate CheetahCamp, ideal for private groups of up to 14 guests. All lodgings are located right on the banks of the Olifants River, offering stunning views of untouched, wild

nature. The buildings are connected by a charming network of paths and foot bridges.

Start your day with an early breakfast surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wild, or enjoy a magical dinner at Lion King as the sun sets in a blaze of color over the African bush.

At NYATI Safari Lodge, the culinary experience is a true highlight. Inspired by the elegance of Karen Blixen, gourmet menus are served in the stunning main restaurant overlooking the Olifants River, or under the stars in the “boma” — a traditional African setting where evenings come alive with the warmth of a crackling fire and the aroma of an authentic braai.
