Nsala Wilderness Camp

This is the real thing - an authentic safari. Local management, light ecological footprint, delicious meals, and true search for wildlife. We went in September when it was very dry and finding wildlife felt like a true safari, not like a fenced-in reserve.

While on assignment in the UK I decided to take a diversionary side trip before heading back to the US. What an incredible experience. I had booked the trip to Nsala Wilderness Camp not fully comprehending what I was instore for and what a pleasant surprise. I arrived to the camp about 8pm and was warmly welcomed by Vision, Shoas and team who made sure I was completely comfortable. Meals were appetizing and made special for my vegetarian pallet, the room was lovely, with bed netting, very clean and comfortable. For the first morning, Shoas said, coffee at 5:30am, and in the Land Rover at 6, and off we went! I was not expecting to see the wide range of wild life that we ran across. I was totally drawn in and hooked. Shoas is an incredible guide, safely minded, informative, sharing everything from geography, wild life, tree's and history. I loved staying here and meeting with other guests as we shared the experience together. The quiet of the area is deafening, morning and evening safaris were so exciting. Thank you so much for an incredible stay, nicely done! Mark.

What an experience, the setting was just as you would hope, lovely thatched huts overlooking the bush. The food prepared by Vision was always very appetising and delicious and the other staff were always keen to provide for all your needs. The safari trips were excellent with Kyle and Sousa? We’re a pleasure, with a fund of interesting facts about the culture of the people and the animals. We had a opportunity to see a wide range of the animals of the area and our photographic memories will always take us back to a splendid 4 days. With at least two excursions a day we had opportunities to see the area at different phases of the day to maximise our experience. Well done to all involved. The only problem we had was a lack of water pressure for a good shower, but I’m sure that can be fixed, electricity was also a bit hit and miss, but you are in the bush!

por un lado el alojamiento, cómodo, lindo y sobre todo muy bien atendido (se comen platos bien elaborados y muy ricos!!), por otro lado los safaris; muy seguros, con un guía muy, muy amable (Sunday) que nos mostro muchisimos animales y permitio realizar nuestro rail fotografico. La relacion precio-calidad labuscamos de antemano y resulto mas que buena. Realmente los recomiendo.

Un camp meraviglioso camere stupende struttura semplice ma ben curato! La fortuna di questo camp e di avere quelle 5 persone che gestiscono quel posto perché sono eccezionali! La gentilezza, l'attenzione, la cura, la cucina e il cibo favoloso mangiato grazie a Vision con la presentazione dei suoi piatti tutti deliziosi ad ogni pasto, gli splendidi Safari grazie a Shoas, l'attenzione ai dettagli, come al ritorno dal nostro Safari , con il viale illuminato dalle materne e il fuoco acceso, da Johansen, come le camere sempre perfette e ben tenute dalla mattina alla sera da Victoria e dall’ altra ragazza che purtroppo non ricordo il nome! Tutto è stato perfetto!!! Ma la cosa più bella per noi.....è la sensazione di sentirsi a casa .... come in una famiglia! 5 persone eccezionali……Grazie Alex e Paolo

Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable à Nsala! Le camp est sobre, mais très confortable. Perdu loin dans le bush, dans la réserve de Umbabat. Les bruits des hyènes et lions vous berceront la nuit... Tout était aussi confortable, voir plus, que les lodges plus près d'Hoespruit. La nourriture était de loin la meilleure que nous avons mangé dans la région: fine et délicieuse! L'accueil était discret mais attentionné. Toute l'équipe était parfaite, des cuisiniers, au ranger Shoas et au manager Matt Et les safaris ont de loin dépassé nos attentes: en moins de deux jours nous avions vus les big five avec, cerise sur le gateau, un lion blanc ainsi que un léopard dévorrant sa proie perché dans un arbre.... Ne vous inquiétez pas du peu de nombres d'avis visibles et sur google et si vous le pouvez, allez y les yeux fermés. Vous ne le regreterez pas!
