Diners
"Ngala (Game Lodge) has captured an atmosphere that is seldom found in
the wilderness - of unashamed luxury and romance that makes guests feel
like royalty. This is a place where guests can enjoy the ultimate
safari experience - the adventure and magic of 'old Africa', without
sacrificing modern day comforts"
Departures magazine
"Ngala means 'lion' in Shangaan, and indeed on my very first morning
here we came across 13 of them, all flopped down beside each other in
the shade of a tree...In my two days here, though, the game viewing was
marvellous"
Saturday Star newspaper "This
is how a safari should be experienced...I reflected as I later enjoyed
a pre-prandial scented soak - immersed in the romance of a bygone era
complete with colonial antiques, silver cutlery and crystal glassware"
Ngala,
meaning "lion" in Shangaan, is the only private safari reserve in the
world-famous Kruger National Park. Ngala Private Game Reserve is host
to two exclusive properties - classic Ngala Game Lodge in the north and
contemporary Ngala Tented Safari Camp in the south. Ngala has exclusive
traversing rights over 14 780 hectares (36 506 acres) of Kruger's two
million hectares (4 940 000 acres), one of the richest and most
strategically important wildlife areas on the continent.
When
you enter Ngala Game Lodge, you encounter a world capturing the romance
and elegant traditions of a bygone time, the era of classic safari.
The
lodge is set on the banks of the Mapone riverbed and features
antique-filled interiors and a timeless, unhurried atmosphere. We were
thrilled to open our first tented safari camp in South Africa, Ngala
Tented Safari Camp, set on the banks of the great Timbavati river. This
absolutely luxurious and lavish new camp acts as a satellite camp to
Ngala Game Lodge, about a 45 minute drive away.
At Ngala, you can experience remarkably close encounters with breeding herds of elephant and buffalo. See black and white rhino, giraffe and a host of antelope, along with the great cats and occasionally, wild dog.
At
sunset, sip sundowners at the waterhole and experience life in Africa
as described by legendary author and philosopher, Sir Laurens van der
Post: "All Africa was in that moment for me. Yes, the whole cast of the
first natural, primordial, legitimate theatre of Africa seemed gathered
there to make its final curtsy in the limelight of the sunset hour and
receive twilight applause before the night dropped its final curtain."
Ngala
has even more to offer. It is the scene of one of Africa's most
innovative conservation partnership agreements. CC Africa has joined
forces with the natinonal park authorities (Kruger National Park) and
the non-governmental South African Nature Trust Foundation. Under this
partnership, a percentage of all profits from Ngala flow into the
National Parks Trust to promote conservation projects.
Both the lodge and the tented camp are members of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
