Ngala Safari Lodge (Timbavati)

Ngala Safari Lodge accommodation in Kruger

Ngala Safari Lodge accommodation is within South Africa’s largest and most well-known game reserve. The Greater Kruger National Park. It is part of the andBeyond luxury lodges in the Ngala Private Game Reserve.

Traditions of a bygone era with colonial antiques, silver cutlery, and crystal glassware; create an aura of romance and nostalgia. Style and grace blend with the rugged natural beauty of the setting. As manicured lawns give way to Mopane thickets. And wild animals walk down to drink at the waterhole. Which forms the heart of this authentic safari lodge.

The lodge’s swimming pool and sundeck overlook a natural riverine woodland. Which is ideal for avid birdwatchers and ‘couch safaris’. While a tranquil massage sala and a well-equipped fitness room are also available. Dinners are in a candlelit courtyard. Or as an African feast in the open-air boma.
