Ngala Safari Lodge is a timeless and elegant safari retreat situated in a private concession nestled between Kruger National Park and Timbavati Game Reserve. As the first private reserve incorporated within the iconic Kruger, Ngala enjoys exclusive access across 19,485 square kilometres of pristine wilderness renowned for abundant wildlife. The lodge is celebrated for its exceptional accommodation and is particularly well-suited for families seeking an immersive safari experience.
Guests embark on twice-daily game drives—morning excursions before breakfast and extended afternoon drives that continue into early evening with the aid of powerful spotlights. The main lodge features a thatched dining room, bar, and lounge areas that open onto the sweeping African bushveld, complemented by a large swimming pool ideal for relaxing after a day in the wild. A nearby waterhole attracts frequent elephant visits, providing excellent viewing opportunities. Guests savor delicious Pan-African cuisine served by candlelight in the courtyard or within the atmospheric boma.
Amongst shaded trees, 20 thatched en-suite cottages offer luxurious comfort, each with a private verandah. The two-bedroom Family Suite features its own swimming pool, dedicated vehicle, and ranger, perfect for groups. The lodge’s nostalgic decor and collection of safari memorabilia create a warm, romantic ambiance.
