Ngala Private Game Reserve has exclusive traversing rights on 14 700 hectares (36 000 acres) of wilderness land, which means guests can explore the reserve on foot, free from the constraints of roads and vehicles, get out for coffee stops and sundowners, go on a night drive, or sensitively go off-road enabling you to get closer to wildlife.

PROPERTY OVERVIEW

The lodge’s swimming pool and sundeck overlook a natural riverine woodland, ideal for avid birdwatchers, while a tranquil massage sala and a well-equipped fitness room can be enjoyed in between game drives. Dinners are set in a candlelit courtyard or showcased as an African feast in the open-air boma.
