"An intimate, immersive Big Five wildlife experience." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The &Beyond Ngala Safari Lodge is located on the Ngala Private Game Reserve, an unfenced private concession wedged between the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve and Kruger National Park. &Beyond leases the land from World Wildlife Fund South Africa and donates a portion of its profits to the South African National Parks Trust. As a result, the trust has been able to fund special projects and maintain West Coast National Park, located just an hour north of Cape Town. Conservation efforts aside, &Beyond Nagala Safari Lodge is most known for offering a luxury safari experience. Guests can spot wildlife from the lounge, then be completely surrounded by the bush in their air-conditioned rooms. Have breakfast under the shade of an enormous weeping boer bean tree, while away hours at the pool with a book and your favorite drink, and indulge in a fireside dinner, surrounded by lanterns and candles. During their stay, guests even enjoy a dedicated vehicle and tracker team to guide them on twice-daily drives, bush strolls, and walking safaris. The lodge is about an hour’s drive from Hoedspruit Airport, but Airlink also operates daily direct flights from Johannesburg and Nelspruit to Ngala’s private airstrip."
"With 20 cottages that marry light details—wide-slate bathroom floors, ceramic stools, pale patterned loveseats, and high thatched ceilings—with deeper-hued wood furnishings, muted flat-weave rugs, and antique-inspired wildlife illustrations, the lodge feels grounded and traditional without ever being stuffy; the property sits on Ngala Private Game Reserve, which—thanks to andBeyond's conservation work—is now part of Kruger National Park." - Lila Harron Battis Lila Harron Battis Lila Harron Battis is a writer and editor.
