Activities
Nsobe offers a wide variety of activities catering for all ages. Our current activities available are listed below but feel free to contact us to enquire about others you may wish to do.
Game drives
Drives are organized in our open vehicle, or you can use your own vehicle with a guide. We have 15 antelope species, plus Zebra and giraffe.
Bush walks
There are walks cut out in the bush, enabling you to see our varied flora and fauna. The predominant habitat is Miombo Woodland, (mainly trees from the Brachystegia Family). Other habitats include dambos, riverine thickets and wetlands. We also have thorn savannah and rocky outcrops.
Depending on the time of year, the bush may be dry and brown but perfect for game viewing, or lushly green and thick during the rainy season, rich with wild flowers, tree orchids and wild mushrooms. There is always something of interest.
Birding
We have recorded over 320 species on the farm, including Schalow’s and Ross’s Turaco in abundance, Narina Trogon, Pygmy Geese, Temminck’s Courser, African Broadbill and Arnot’s Chat.

Fishing and Canoeing
We have two large crocodile free dams in which one can catch a number of species of Tilapia (Bream), carp and barbel.
There are three-man canoes for hire, or you can fish from the water’s edge.
Swimming
We have a swimming pool, with a poolside Bar and Grill. You may also swim in the dam, or in our natural rockpool which makes a refreshing bush-style jacuzzi (season dependent).
Bush spa
Our secluded bushspa has a sauna, a jacuzzi, a sundeck and resident masseuse.
Nsobe World of Birds and Reptile Park
Wander through the snake park and come up close and understand the likes of Black Mamba’s, Gaboon Vipers, Boomslangs and many others. The World of Birds consists of a large walk-through avery with adjacent smaller cages which contain many different types of birds and small mammals, turtles, tortoises and other interesting flora and fauna.
Spotting a Sitatunga
Our name, Nsobe, is the name for the Sitatunga antelope in our local languages, Lamba and Bemba. We are fortunate to have these rare and shy animals. Around the farm there are hides, into which the intrepid can climb at dusk or dawn, sit quietly and, with luck, spot a Sitatunga.
Star-gazing
Nothing beats a Central African Night Sky. We are situated 60kms from the nearest electrified town making the Southern Hemisphere constellations and the Milky Way spectacular.
TV Lounge
We have DSTV in our communal TV lounge
Farm Tour
Nsobe is part of a commercial farming venture, where animal husbandry and aquaculture are practiced. Tours of the Integrated Fish (Tilapia)/Pig Scheme and Beef Feedlot can be arranged.
Hunting
We offer both trophy and meat hunting of some of our species.
