Our first tented camp in South Africa features six deluxe tents on raised platforms with secluded wooden decks. Each spacious tent has an invigorating outdoor shower with mist nozzles as well as a bath mounted on a rough-hewn wood base for pure, indulgent pleasure. You can lie back and enjoy our extra-length beds while being cooled by a gentle breeze from a quiet overhead fan. The tents feature wooden sides with gauze screen windows, where delicate breezes from the bushveld sweep in to keep you cool.

On winter nights, you can snuggle up in our warm electric blankets. All year round, giant shady trees form a cool green canopy over this tranquil camp.
 

Ngala Tented Safari Camp is an elegant and luxurious tented camp with a fresh and contemporary feel. Classic and witty elements from the 1950s to the 1970s have been integrated into the camp's lounge, dining and living areas. Architecturally, the camp has been designed along clean lines with timeless, sophisticated styling.

Chic and modern, the camp's guest areas overlook the Timbavati riverbed which draws much wildlife to its tree-lined banks. Next to a nearby waterhole is our intimate hide which allows you to see and photograph wildlife incredibly close-up.

The irresistible blues of the pool merge with the contours of the riverbank. Surrounded by a timber deck, the pool is a perfect "waterhole" for you to relax and cool off in after a thrilling day on safari. As the day draws to a close, you can sit on our viewing deck above the Timbavati riverbed, drink in hand, and share your adventures.

In the cool winter evenings, our open fireplaces are a magnet for convivial gatherings of guests. You are welcome to visit our well-stocked curio shop at nearby Ngala Game Lodge, which lies just 45 minutes away in the northern part of Ngala Private Game Reserve.

Ngala offers Pan-African cooking with delightful flair. This unique kind of cuisine is a blend of traditional and ethnic African recipes and cooking methods, presented with a modern and characteristic flavour all its own. The dishes are both a delight to the palate and to the eye. Spices and aromas for which Africa is famous, such as genuine vanilla, saffron, coriander and cumin, delicately complement each mouth-watering dish, from our vegetable soups and fire-roasted meats to our homemade ice creams.
 

Ngala offers moonlit bush dinners and bush sundowners. Bush banquets are served in a clearing in the bush under a star-studded sky. The experience of wild dining in a spectacular setting under the African night sky make for an unmatchable feast.
