 The shady tree canopy surrounding the lodge is a hive of
activity, with a bird feeding area and active water feature providing the bird
watcher with the opportunity of viewing a variety of species
from the comfort of either the pool deck, open bar or restaurant. The Helmeted
Guineafowl, Crested Francolin, Yellow Hornbill, Pied and Arrowmarked
Babblers, Glossy Starling, Meyers Parrot and Paradise Whydah are just some
of the species you will encounter during your stay at the lodge.

When the sun sets
and the birds retire to their nests, it's the turn of the large family of
nocturnal bush
babies to entertain you at their feeding table. Your evening meals can
be enjoyed at the 'à la carte' restaurant with a typical braai (barbecue) buffet
every Saturday night in the boma area.

 For keen bird watchers and
naturalists, Nata Lodge offers open vehicle, three hour excursions into the Nata
Sanctuary. Mammal species in the sanctuary include antelope such
as kudu and springbok, as well as springhares, jackals, foxes and
monkeys. However the main attraction is the abundance of bird life. Around
165 bird species, including king-fishers, eagles, ostriches, pelicans, spoonbills
and both greater and lesser flamingos, have been recorded. When the Nata
river flows, flooding the pan, the area becomes a paradise, dominated
by water-loving birds from all around Africa.

A great new activity we offer is quad biking.
Our guides will take you
around the dusty plains and grasslands surrounding the Lodge - the perfect terrain for these fun-filled
vehicles.
