Bush Walk: During the summer months the walks are done in the early mornings, and in winter the walk is done after breakfast . The ranger will talk on a variety of subjects ranging from the medicinal uses of certain plants, interesting facts on the fauna and flora of the area and archaeology dating back to the Stone Age.
Specialist Lectures
Archaeology:-Take a time walk back to 255 million years ago and discover early Jurassic Dinasours. Travel through the Crystalline Age, The Stone age, The Iron Age and end up with sundowners at the owners, Shane and Ade’s home.
Entomology:- Enter the insect world with our resident entomologist and discover an inexhaustible subject filled with fascinating facts. This is usually conducted on bush walks or as a special request from guests.

Wellness Centre:- Beauty, serenity, tranquility. These describe Nitani’s wellness Center, where guests are pampered by a highly qualified therapist using one of the world leading salon products, Dermalogica. Specialist treatments include hot stone therapy, reflexology, various customised facials, full–body massages, spa treatments such as mud wraps, mineral salt scrubs and hydration treatments, as well as waxing, manicures and pedicures.

Wildlife:- Nitani, one of the exclusive game reserves in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve, is not your usual bush lodge. Although we have lions, elephants, cheetah and leopard – the animals that first-time visitors to Africa most want to see – one of the things that makes us special is that we give you a rare opportunity to view the “Small Five" as well. The Small Five is what we at Nitani call a selection of smaller but more fascinating animals – caracal, serval, African wildcat, aardwolf and aardvark. These species are not often seen and are a real treat when they are. There are a number of hyena dens close to the lodge and observing the behaviour of these intriguing animals will long be remembered.

Access:- The Waterberg Mountain area is part of the Bushveld district of the Limpopo Province, a two and a half hour drive north from Johannesburg on the N1.

Child Policy:- Children are welcome at Nitani Private Game Reserve and is the ideal holiday getaway for families.

Power supply:- There is 24 hour electricity to all rooms.
