Ngala Tented Camp

andBeyond Ngala Tented Camp is nestled within the Ngala Private Game Reserve, sharing a seamless boundary with the renowned Kruger National Park, one of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries. This vast wilderness is home to a remarkable array of wildlife, from majestic elephant herds to elusive leopards, spotted hyenas, graceful giraffes, and the iconic white rhino. True to its name, which means ‘lion’ in the local Shangaan language, Ngala is also renowned for its thriving prides of these majestic cats, with African wild dogs often spotted roaming the reserve.

Chic and contemporary, andBeyond Ngala Tented Camp offers sophisticated tented accommodation amidst serene bush surrounds. The camp features nine luxurious tented suites, elevated on raised platforms and adorned with outdoor showers, baths mounted on rough-hewn wooden bases, swirling overhead fans, air conditioning, and electric blankets for chilly winter nights. Each suite boasts a private wooden deck, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the African wilderness.

Designed to blend seamlessly into the riverside trees, the tented suites minimize environmental impact while providing a luxurious retreat. Mature indigenous shade trees create a cool canopy overhead, while elegant guest areas offer panoramic views of the seasonal Timbavati River. Guests can unwind by the camp’s lap pool, which follows the contours of the riverbank, or indulge in a rejuvenating massage at the dedicated sala.

At Ngala Tented Camp, culinary experiences are as individual and inventive as the camp itself. Private lunch platters are savored on the viewing decks, by the poolside, or on the lush lawn, while theatrical al fresco dinners in the dry riverbed create unforgettable dining moments.
