Our three lodges, Nkala, Ntamba and Kubu Metsi are in the same fenced “node” so you can walk between them. Nkala and Ntamba are connected with a pathway and Kubu Metsi is just across the road, so a great option for bigger groups to book all the lodges together.
We are governed by the Black Rhino Game Reserve and they limit the number of guests permitted. The maximum number of guests allowed at each lodge is therefore not negotiable.
