OVERVIEW Pristine open wilderness sets the tone for an authentically wild safari experience. Ngala Private Game Reserve, the first to be incorporated into the renowned Kruger National Park, offers exclusive traversing rights within 37 100 acres of untouched wilderness. With this much space and sharing an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park, Ngala is a wondrous place to track and discover Africa’s Big 5, as well as other wildlife species, great and small, including the endangered wild dog. A flat landscape on the Lowveld with undulating crests serves as an ideal haven for game drive and walking experiences. |

ACTIVITIES Located on the boundary of the world renowned Kruger National Park, Ngala Private Game Reserve is well known for its high densities of elephant, buffalo and rhino, as well as for its African wild dogs. A spectacular diversity of wildlife moves through this immense wilderness, including elephant, spotted hyena, giraffe, buffalo and white rhino.
Twice daily game drives are offered, once in the early morning and again in the late afternoon/evenings in an open aired 4x4 vehicle. Strict vehicle limits at animal sightings ensure the exclusivity of your wildlife experience and careful off road driving positions you for the best photo opportunities. Night game drives provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the predators, particularly the leopard for which Ngala is renowned.
Interpretive bush walks between game drives can be arranged. Experience the sights, smells and sounds of the African bush on leisurely walks within easy reach of the lodge. An armed ranger will accompany you and will share his vast knowledge of the local fauna and flora. Take in the intimate details of your surroundings, from the intricate patterns of a spider's web to the bright plumage of the local birds and the sharp alarms calls of a dozen small creatures.
