We had a three weeks stay in South Africa, starting from Cape Town and driving north until the Kruger. We had many amazing experiences both in fantastic guest houses and other great hotels but Ngala was the most unrealistic hotel we've ever been (and God knows that we had the chance to stay in many great places). We totally agree... more

Ngala Lodge and the safari experience was the most exotic travel experience I've had to date. The style of the lodge is british colonial; very luxurious and very private little cottages with netting over the bed and ceiling fans. This is truly in the middle of 'nowhere' - we took two private planes to arrive from Joburg - flying to... more

Our travel agent Reef and Rainforest recommended Ngala to us and boy were we pleased they did. We had the most amazing 4 nights of our South Africa trip here. The staff , accommodation, food and the surrounding were out of this world. We couldn't have asked for more. Some other reviews comment on the price but to be honest... more

We have just got back from a three week trip to South Africa and our time at Ngala lodge was the highlight. I booked through the CC africa website and they were so helpful. We arrived at the lodge by a small plane and were transfered on a 4 x 4. The lodge was above and beyond all expectations. yes... more

What an amazing place, warm, welcoming staff who can't do enough to make your stay enjoyable. The accomodation is 5 star, you literally are in the middle of the reserve so can not go outside without your own personal security guard at night. It is fine to walk around during the day. We were sat by the pool sipping cocktails... more

I cannot enthuse enough about our experience at Ngala Game Lodge. The lodge is luxurious and we were completely spoilt during our stay here. The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent. Our game drives were wonderful and we managed to see the big 5 and most other animals. The rangers here are really lovely and very informative,... more

An expensive option, but worth it. Fantastic accommodation, cleaned and tidies several times a day. Great food - varied locations each day, and always delicious with plenty of choice (they also catered well for my allergy). Superb guides and trackers, and only 6 people maximum in a jeep. 2 game drives per day, and the guide takes note of what... more

Ngala was definitely one of the highlights of our African adventure. It is a very attractive lodge with a great location adjacent to Kruger. The service was very personalized - they couldn't do enough for us. And the guides and game drives could not have been better. I highly, highly recommend Ngala if you are considering the private lodges. more

We were lucky enough to stay at Ngala for 2 1/2 days. I did not want to leave. I have never been treated so well by every single staff member, enjoyed such fantastic food and ambiance, and felt so lucky to experience my first safari there. We were able to participate in 4 game drives and we saw almost every... more

Ngala was truly fabulous. The safaris are always a bit of a gamble, as wild animals don't appear on command, but with Ngala's well-trained guides the odds are definitely in your favor. The accommodations and food are also beyond reproach. I can't recommend Ngala highly enough. more
