Nsobe Activities

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 swim in the dam, or in our natural rockpool which makes a refreshing bush-style jacuzzi.

 

 

Bush spa
Our secluded bushspa has a  sauna, jacuzzi and resident masseuse.

 

 


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 and Lawn Sports
We have DSTV, a pool table, darts, croquet, volleyball, and horseshoe. 

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.
