Ngala Tented CampNgala Private Game Reserve was the first private game reserve to be incorporated into Kruger National Park. It is home to all of the Big 5, but is particularly known for its elephant, buffalo and rhino, as well as its packs of wild dog.
Ngala consists of 2 luxury lodges: the luxurious Ngala Tented Camp, and the classic colonial style Ngala Safari Lodge. Ngala Tented Camp is a sophisticated, intimate camp overlooking the seasonal Timbavati riverbed positioned between dense riverine forest and the river. The 9 spacious air-conditioned safari tents, mounted on raised wooden decks to ensure front row sightings of wildlife, were designed to incorporate existing trees. Stone partitions and wooden sides form part of the suites. A bathtub on a wooden platform with gauze screens open up to the outside giving the effect of bathing in a giant leafy chamber. The al fresco shower is protected by a thick stone screen. The camp’s lap pool, merging with the contours of the riverbank, is perfect for game viewing while cooling off. Al fresco dinners are served in the dry riverbed. 2 daily game drives, early morning and late afternoon / evening, in an open 4x4 safari vehicle, explore an area which shares an unfenced boundary with the world famous Kruger National Park. In the company of a tracker and an armed ranger, you have the opportunity to track the rich variety of game including the Big 5. |
Specialist safaris are custom designed for those who choose to go beyond the bounds of the traditional safari, but subject to availability of a specialist ranger and tracker.
