What a wonderful experience all around... The staff was great... The game drives were simply superlative. We saw so many animals from such a close distance. Leonie (Ranger) & Farney (Tracker) did an absolutely incredible job! I never imagined I would ever travel all the way to Africa from Illinois. Now I can't wait to return.... Just Amazing.... more

We stay at the Ngala Game Reserve from July 22 - 26, 2008. From the moment of arrival to the check out we had a fabulous experience. The Check-in was smooth and seamless and in two minute we were in our private Chalets. Each nicely furnish with large bathrooms, huge tube and shower. Plenty of bathroom amenities and in-room sweet... more

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
