Ngala Tented Camp - Ngala Game Reserve
(South Africa)

Location:

Ngala, which means “place of the lion,” is the first and currently the only operating private concession within the Kruger National Park.

\Occupying 14 000 ha of prime game-viewing land, Ngala Private Game Reserve is the result of a unique agreement between the SA National Parks Trust and CCAfrica. It is also the first ever joint conservation venture between the private and public sector.

Ngala Tented Safari Camp, Conservation Corporation Africa’s (CCAfrica) newest game-lodge and the only luxury tented camp on the banks of the Timbavati river, is a satellite of CCAfrica flagship property Ngala Private Game-Lodge. Located in the game-rich world-renowned Kruger National Park, Ngala Tented Safari Camp offers guests an unparalleled “Big Five” game-viewing experience.

Accommodations:

CC Africa's first tented camp in South Africa features six deluxe tents on raised platforms with secluded wooden decks. Each spacious tent has an invigorating outdoor shower with mist nozzles as well as a bath mounted on a rough-hewn wood base for pure, indulgent pleasure. You can lie back and enjoy the extra-length beds while being cooled by a gentle breeze from a quiet overhead fan. The tents feature wooden sides with gauze screen windows, where delicate breezes from the bushveld sweep in to keep you cool.

On winter nights, you can snuggle up in the warm electric blankets. All year round, giant shady trees form a cool green canopy over this tranquil camp.

Ngala Tented Safari Camp is an elegant and luxurious tented camp with a fresh and contemporary feel. Classic and witty elements from the 1950s to the 1970s have been integrated into the camp's lounge, dining and living areas. Architecturally, the camp has been designed along clean lines with timeless, sophisticated styling.

Chic and modern, the camp's guest areas overlook the Timbavati riverbed which draws much wildlife to its tree-lined banks. Next to a nearby waterhole is the intimate hide which allows you to see and photograph wildlife incredibly close-up

Nonetheless, like other CCAfrica developments such as Londolozi and Phinda, Ngala Tented Safari Camp is unashamedly elegant, offers five-star accommodation and service and is the last word in bush-lux.

Ngala Tented Safari Camp complements the elegant and luxurious tented camps CCAfrica operates in Botswana, Zimbabwe and East Africa.  Ngala Private Game Lodge is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Ngala Tented Safari Camp will also apply for membership.

Facilities:

In the camp, an elegant rim-flow lap-pool which merges with the contours of the river-bank is an ideal guest watering-hole on hot summer days.

From here, visitors can watch prides of lions lolling in the sun and huge herds of buffalo or elephant crossing the wide, dry river-bed in what is a veritable  bird and game-watchers’ paradise.

Game Viewing / Activities:

CCAfrica’s first tented camp in SA is located in big game, big sky country. This is Africa – the real thing. At Ngala, twice daily game-drives in open Landrovers and guided nature walks offer regular sightings of the “Big Five” plus both black and white rhino. The area is the home range of a resident black rhino and can’t be beaten for an authentic wilderness experience.  

The combination of habitats at Ngala attracts not only herds of elephant, but an abundance of buffalo, white rhino, giraffe and antelope, while Africa's great cats - lion, leopard and cheetah, follow silently in their tracks.

The vast terrain enables the wide-ranging and rare wild dog to thrive, whilst elusive nocturnal animals include the armadillo-like pangolin and the African wildcat. Guests are able to explore 14,000 hectares of Big Game Country, with the highest density of Lion in the Kruger Park.
