The charm and elegance of the classic safari experience shine at the timeless Ngala Safari Lodge. Set in the wilds of South Africa, surrounded by the beauty of the Ngala Private Game Reserve, the lodge combines vintage safari memorabilia with refined modern comfort to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Spacious accommodations and activities, like Ngala’s WILDChild programme, make the lodge an especially good choice for families eager to explore the African wilderness.

A refreshing, rim-flow pool edges part of the lodge. On the nearby wood deck, cosy, cushioned chairs make for a comfortable spot to rest or to watch for other visitors to Ngala. Herds of elephants can often be spotted grazing nearby. Hundreds of species of birds flock to the indigenous mopane and tamboti trees that rise from the land.

You can choose to stay at any of the lodge’s 20 thatched cottages, including three just for families. Each classic and timeless suite, nestled under the shady trees, has floor-to-ceiling windows, a private veranda, an ensuite bathroom and air conditioning. Meals are held in the elegant courtyard, under the light of charming glass lanterns, or in a traditional open-air boma. The lodge also has a spacious family suite that has room for four guests and includes the use of a private swimming pool and a private vehicle.

Visit the massage sala on days when you most need to unwind – or days when you most want to pamper yourself. Two game drives leave daily from the lodge, providing ideal opportunities to spot the “big five” game animals. Get close and personal with the local wildlife on interactive bush walks led by experienced rangers or by learning how to track animals with the help of an expert. The lodge provides endless ways to explore Africa’s quintessential allure.‍
