The Details

Ngala Private Game Reserve was among the first concessions to be officially incorporated into the exclusive Greater Kruger National Park, allowing for exceptional traversing opportunities in this breathtaking region. Combining first-class luxury with eco-friendly construction, Ngala offers a safari experience that embodies the true spirit of Kruger.

The name "Ngala," meaning "lion," captures the essence of this romantic lodge. Ngala is a serene holiday destination. The lodge's colonial style is reflected in its soft evening lighting, wooden finishes, and charming courtyards, with bomas providing a magical setting for dinner. These thoughtful touches infuse Ngala with its rich and distinctive character.

Ngala Safari Lodge boasts twenty thatched Cottages, each complete with an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, and private veranda. The cottages have floor-to-ceiling glass windows, maximizing the sunny safari days.

The three Family Cottages consist of two suites that are conveniently interlinked via a door for easy access and can accommodate two adults and two children.

The luxurious Family Suite has its own en-suite bathroom, viewing deck, personal pool, and exclusive use of a safari vehicle.

The lodge offers guests early morning and late afternoon Big Five game drives, interpretive bush walks, as well as tracking and photographic safaris. Ngala Safari Lodge is ideal for families looking for an exclusive safari getaway, wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and honeymooners or couples seeking the intimacy and romance synonymous with lodges such as this.
