Just returned this morning from the most unbelievable experience at Ngala Safari Lodge. We have been looked after like royalty in the most incredible setting, the natural beauty of the surroundings are matched by the quality of the lodge, the food, the service and the attention to detail from all the staff. Our fantastic Ranger Ryno and our Tracker Norman... More

We regularly go to Ngala lodge and always feel like it is home from home. The staff are Fantastic and Dennis is an incredible manager and always spoils us. We stayed in the Safari suite for 5 nights and it was heavenly. The regular rooms are lovely too, not as spacious but very comfortable. The game viewing is great because... More

Just returned from Ngala and it was a life-changing experience! Beautifully-furnished lodge in the middle of the Timbavati Reserve adjacent to Kruger National Park. Staff are simply the best ever. Elliot our game ranger and Norman our tracker were outstanding. Saw the big five on our many game drives. Took our 2 sons (ages 12 and 15) along and they... More

Second visit here and thoroughly recommend it without hesitation. GREAT rooms, FANTASTIC safari guides, WONDERFUL wildlife. Bliss! Seeing a leopard up a tree, a pack of 20 wild dogs and much much more were experiences never to forget. The ultimate surprise though......turning a corner in the bush and finding one of the resort staff cooking us pancakes for breakfast, accompanied... More

The best way I can sum up my three-night stay at Ngala Lodge is with a conversation I had about five or six times with experienced safari-goers: Them: "Where are you going on safari?" Me: "Three places -- ..., Ngala, and ..." Them: "Ngala Tented Camp or Lodge?" Me: "Lodge." Them: "Oh." Here's the deal. Ngala is a very nice... More

The accommodations were clean, very comfortable, with great food, and incredible service. I can't say enough about the people: Momma Connie, Dennis and Nate took excellent care of us. Even managed to get a prescription filled for me. Derrick and Norman were our ranger/tracker dynamic duo. We saw the big five in the first two game drives--and we were there... More

I had been at Ngala several times, but this time was different. The welcome was warm, the accommodation cosy, the food excellent, but the rangers caused stress. The first game drive set up was a vehicle full of tension with a guest who's laptop had just been stolen at the international airport and a ranger who couldn't deal with a... More

Ngala Safari Lodge lived up to our expectations as a luxury destination with (most importantly) very good wildlife viewing. The cottages are excellent, and the service is just top notch. One thing that Ngala really has going for it is the food. We stayed at Phinda as well, and despite being behind Phinda in terms of the accommodation, the food... More

A surprising place Swimming pool, birds & little animals coming around at breakfast time. An open dining room with lanterns hanging from the trees along with the candleabra and very good food. The baker Carolyn bakes breads and dessers that are five star. Moses our "butler" was so wonderful we wanted to adopt him. The safaris are great and one... More
