Zambia
WHAT WE LOVE: Having done safaris all over Africa our whole team agrees that Zambia is still one of the most sensational and authentic safari experiences. As the home of walking safaris this is one of the best places to get out of the vehicle and do a safari on foot. Hailed as Africa’s ‘diamond in the rough’ or even ‘the warm heart of Africa’, Zambia is a country blessed with awe-inspiring natural wonders, a huge variety of wildlife and an abundance of birdlife, huge water bodies (including 17 magnificent waterfalls) and great tracts of pristine bushveld. It has also been acknowledged as one of the safest countries in the world, whose inhabitants are known for being warm and welcoming. It is a landlocked country, sharing its borders with Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Angola to the east, Namibia and Zimbabwe to the south, and Mozambique and Malawi to the east. It even shares a 2km border with Botswana!
Tanda Tula Nkarhi Homestead
Nkarhi Homestead is Tanda Tula’s exclusive-use home from home in the Timbavati. Inspired by the heritage of South Africa, it’s one of the oldest homesteads in the country and a place where Nina Scott spent many of her childhood holidays. Meaning ‘time’ in the Tsonga language, this is a place that inspires relaxation and allows connections to be created and cherished.
Located on a gentle hill above vast plains and winding waterways, Nkarhi’s elevated position allows guests an uninterrupted view of the vistas of the Timbavati.
The farm-style family home has 4 bedrooms, 2 in the main house and 2 in the adjacent family cottage. Beautifully-kept lawns surround both and there
is a swimming pool and boma area with firepit outside, all wonderful spaces for spending time with family and enjoying the bush, unhindered.
The house can be booked on an exclusive-use basis only and sleeps 8, or 9 with an additional child. Both self-catering and fully-catered options are available
for as much freedom as desired and the experience is infused with the warm, honest hospitality of Tanda Tula. Each option comes with a private guide,
tracker and vehicle, as well as a housekeeper and camp hand are always included, and with the fully-catered option, a private chef and butler will
be available too. The house is solar powered and completely off-grid, allowing for total relaxation.
