The magic and mystery of Africa come alive in the colonial ambiance of elegant Ngala Safari Lodge. A timeless, unhurried atmosphere, combined with the quaint traditions of a bygone era, creates an aura of romance and nostalgia. This old-world haven in the midst of the African bush charms with its colonial antiques, silver cutlery and crystal glassware.

Here, style and grace mingle faultlessly with the rugged natural beauty of the setting, as manicured lawns give way to dense mopane thickets and wild animals saunter down to drink at the waterhole.

Tucked under a canopy of mopane and tamboti trees, there are 20 classic thatched cottages, including three family cottages with interleading rooms, and the spacious Family Suite. Each spacious ensuite cottage exudes a romantic colonial ambiance with nostalgic safari memorabilia throughout.

Creamy soft linen on curtained beds, soft tinted prints and etchings combine with the evocative smell of thatch to carry the classic safari atmosphere into your private cottage. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows provide dazzling views of your surrounds and spacious private verandas offer the perfect setting to savour an exclusive dinner. A spectacular ensuite bathroom, complete with an outdoor shower, provides the ultimate opportunity to refresh or unwind.

What we at Conservation Safari Company specifically like about Ngala is the classic Kruger habitat and experience, great elephant viewing and big cats and it's location along the Timbavati River. The Safari Lodge is one of our guest's favourites for value and style.
