Located on a Big Five private concession in the heart of the predator-prowled Kruger National Park, &Beyond’s Ngala shares an unfenced border with the Kruger, and has exclusive traversing rights over 14,700 hectares of game-rich wilderness – resulting in a thrilling African wildlife experience.
Residing underneath a canopy of mopane and tamboti trees, the 20 thatched cottages fan out from the main area. Harking back to the nostalgic days of safari, each cottage skilfully combines classic design elements with contemporary touches. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows make the most of the views, and guests can enjoy a romantic dinner on the private veranda.
The lodge also features 3 Family Cottages with interleading doors, as well as one 3-bedroom Family Villa – the latter comes with its own pool, and the use of a private vehicle. For a special night for couples, book the Ngala Treehouse Experience, which will see you sleep out under the stars on an elevated platform.
The Family Villa, main guest area and rim-flow pool and sundeck all overlook a waterhole from different angles – enhancing your chance of spotting thirsty elephants and other wildlife while taking a dip or relaxing over lunch. You can also take advantage of the well-equipped gym, or spoil yourself with a soothing Healing Earth treatment at the massage sala.
After your evening drive, dinner is set up in the candlelit courtyard, or around the open-air boma.
Enjoy a variety of activities such as twice-daily game drives with intimate wildlife encounters that might include sightings of leopards, spotted hyenas, giraffes, large buffalo herds, and white rhino. You can also go on interpretive bush walks, take part in a rhino notching conservation experience, and even book a tailormade private safari suited to your needs and preferences. Little guests meanwhile can join the dedicated WILDchild programme – a fun, interactive way to keep them busy while learning all about life in the bush.
