Ngala Tented Camp

Chic and contemporary, &Beyond Ngala Tented Camp is renowned for sophisticated tented accommodation in tranquil bush surrounds. It comprises nine luxurious tented suites set on raised platforms with outdoor showers, baths mounted on rough-hewn wooden bases, swirling overhead fans, air conditioning, electric blankets for winter and private wooden decks. Each tented suite makes an effort to minimise impact on the local environment, blending into the trees that offer a cool canopy on a hot African afternoon. The camp also offers a contoured lap pool, perfect for relaxed game viewing, a safari curio shop and a massage sala overlooking the river. The chefs at Ngala pride themselves on presenting inventive and delicious dishes which can be enjoyed on the deck, lawn, in the riverbed or as a private romantic experience.

With a name meaning 'lion' in Shangaan, Ngala Tented Camp lives up to its name with several large prides of lions throughout the Ngala reserve. Guests can spot the prides on morning and afternoon game drives, and spend time watching the cats and other resident wildlife on walking safaris, photographic safaris and from the air on balloon safaris. Photographic safaris offer guests a chance to use a dedicated vehicle fitted with camera mounts, and a specialist photographic guide will accompany guests to provide tips and tricks and share their expertise.

For guests seeking independence and adventure, the new Ngala Treehouse offers a remote and romantic retreat 5 kilometres away from Ngala Tented Camp. The 4 level treehouse offers an indoor and outdoor bed, so guests can sleep under the stars and listen to the sounds of the African wilderness. Complete with every amenity guests may need, the treehouse is solar powered and complete with a fully-stocked mini fridge and a picnic-dinner to enjoy while watching the sun go down. Charging stations are also available so guests never miss that perfect photo opportunity.
