Welcome to Ntsinini. A place once private, now shared.

There are places in South Africa that feel unchanged by rush. Open land. Big skies. Quiet mornings. Ntsinini is one of them.

Set in Mpumalanga, just 2.5 hours from Johannesburg, on the main route to the Kruger Park and to Mozambique, Ntsinini has always been a retreat for people who value space, nature, and calm. For many years, it has been an  owner grounded sanctuary. Organically well cared for. Never crowded.

For the first time, Ntsinini opens its gates to external guests. Non-owners are now welcome to book and experience this exceptional property. 

A fresh chapter for Ntsinini

This new chapter comes with a fresh website and new social pages. The design feels lighter. Finding information, easier. Booking your stay, simple. The spirit of Ntsinini remains exactly the same.

This is still a space shaped by land and patience.

Things to do at Ntsinini

You choose your pace. Some guests do very little. Others explore every back road. Both work here.

Nature walks and birdwatchingEarly mornings and late afternoons offer the best sightings. The birdlife here is rich and varied.

Cycle the internal roads

Follow the tracks and paths within the farm passing small herds of Impala or a couple of giraffes as you make your way back to your cottage. 

Try your hand at fly fishing

On early winter mornings take a quiet stroll down the Swartkoppies river testing flies to see what the trout fancy on the day.  Or head to the Elands and cast into the free flowing rapids with a good chance of hooking the endemic Bushscale Yellowfish or a wiley rainbow trout. 

Photography and quiet momentsLight changes quickly in this landscape. Sunrises and sunsets turn the land gold. You will want to pause and look.

Relax and regroup

Bring your art supplies, your kindle or some board games.  Enjoy the vistas from the private comfort of your verandah while you get creative or simply relax.
