Why We Love Ngala Safari Lodge
Ngala Safari Lodge is located within the renowned andBeyond Ngala Private Game Reserve, which shares an unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park. Wildlife moves freely through the area, resulting in consistently rewarding sightings. The reserve is also known for its rare population of naturally occurring white lions, making encounters here especially meaningful.

His first-hand knowledge of the reserve, wildlife movements and guiding culture gives our guests an added layer of insight when planning a stay here.
