Location:
| Secluded in the Kruger
National Park, (Timbavati) where the savanna blurs into Mopane
woodlands, Ngala will immerse you in the romance and style of a bygone
era.
Ngala was the first private game reserve to be incorporated into the
two-million-hectare Kruger National Park in a unique partnership which
sees Conservation Corporation Africa meticulously managing the guest
experience, yielding a share of revenues for the state conservancy
agency. 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. CC Africa has also opened its 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 national 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. |
