Ngala, meaning 'lion' in Shangaan, was the only private safari lodge originally incorporated into the legendary Kruger National Park. Memories of safaris of bygone eras echo through the safari lodge. Stylishly thatched cottages serve as a temporary sanctuary for guests on their exciting Timbavati Safari.
Antique-filled interiors, priceless rugs and cut-glass crystal furnish this opulent retreat. All suites feature outdoor showers as well as en-suite bathrooms. The living spaces are tastefully decorated with large African artwork. Private verandas allow for private dinners for guests wanting a night of seclusion.
Ngala Family Suites
Luxury family accommodation in the Timbavati Game Reserve is offered in 3 family cottages with interleading doors, as well as a 3-bedroom Family Villa, with its own swimming pool, and a dedicated vehicle and ranger / tracker team. The WILDchild programme offers fun, interactive activities for little ones staying at Ngala Safari Lodge.
