Ngala Private Game Reserve Guest Stories
Tell us about your journey and your thoughts and impressions of Africa.
It is always a pleasure to receive feedback on how the &Beyond experience has touched our guests. For many of them, a life-long love affair with Africa's wide open spaces and its incredible wildlife has started at one of our lodges across the continent. Others have formed lasting friendships with the warm and welcoming &Beyonders they have met on safari. Here is just a sample of the incredible comments we have been receiving from our guests staying at Ngala Private Game Reserve.
David Malloch - 100 words on Ngala
"We're relaxing with a cold South African Sauvignon Blanc in armchairs on the veranda of the thatched lodge at Ngala."
There are warthogs digging up the lawn and kudu eating white flowers off to our right but everyone is watching the 24 elephants in the waterhole just in front of us. The big matriarch stands guard while the herd play: there's water everywhere, with little being swallowed, except by those unruly youngsters who've taken over the swimming pool. Clean comfortable rooms, imaginative fresh food, smiling attentive staff, two game drives a day - this is a magical place!
Marie Pretorius - Arrive in Paradise
"We had been preparing to move to Germany for a couple of years and it had been a hectic time. We booked at Ngala Tented Camp for a couple of days' relaxation."
And arrive in Paradise we did! We were greeted by the sounds of the bush, the luxurious tents, friendly staff and a fantastic view from the patio. We knew we had arrived in Paradise. If only we could stay forever!
Lambrechts, Hugo - Excellent
"Been at Ngala for only 2 days, we saw a fight between hyenas and wild dogs. Also had sightings of a leopard with 2 grown up cubs, hyena with a cub, about 12 wild dogs with 12 cubs and lion feeding."
Excellent hospitality and thanks to Connie, Herbert , the kitchen staff for excellent food and an excellent ranger and tracker by name - Dyke and Zup- Zup.
Andreas Plimpton - Fantastic Walks in the Bush
"With your expert tracker and guide we had fantastic experiences both on game drives and walking in the bush."
Coming face to face with a herd of buffalo and waiting on a termite mound for them to pass was an experience worth remembering.
Tom Simpson - Honeymoon at Ngala
"One of the best experiences of my life was my honeymoon at Ngala."
The warmth of the locals, combined with the depth of knowledge of our guides, made it unforgettable. Highlights included the unexpected bush breakfast and watching elephants cooling down in the pool right next to the lodge. The comfort of the bedroom just topped off the trip.
