Game Drives are at the heart of the Ngala experience, allowing guests to encounter the Big Five up close in the Timbavati.
Your stay will typically include a morning and afternoon game drive in their safari vehicle with professional guides and trackers, with the unique opportunity to see some of the more elusive nocturnal animals under the spot light on night drives.
Those looking to get even more up close and personal with nature can go on safari walks with a professional game ranger. Safari walks are a fantastic way of seeing animal tracks, learning more about the flora and fauna and seeing certain species of birds more closely, it is certainly a highlight.
Optional extra activities when back at the lodge include an array of relaxing body treatments in the massage sala overlooking the Timbavati River or in the spa at Ngala Safari Lodge. You may also opt to spend a night in a Ngala Tented camp or at the treehouse sleepout at an additional cost.
