Situated in Grietjie Nature Reserve, 26 km from the Phalaborwa Gate to Kruger National Park, Ngalali Retreat features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a bar and a shared lounge. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The air-conditioned rooms provide a garden view and come with a desk and free WiFi.

The rooms at the guest house are fitted with a seating area. Rooms come with a private bathroom with a shower, a hairdryer and free toiletries. All rooms have a wardrobe.

Xander is a great host - felt like the property was ours with the service and hospitality! The property itself is great - all 3 rooms superbly decorated, with a huge outdoor area where we could just lounge around and watch the different animals visit the watering hole nearby! The service is unmatched, the food is awesome! We had told them we were vegetarian - and they kept feeding us amazing food for our entire stay! They even served a 5 course dinner for us on New Year’s Eve! We were fully spoilt. Xander took us out on a 3 hour game in the private reserve, and we saw so many animals - the highlight being the elusive Leopard (we were less than 10m away from him). They also arranged a full day Kruger safari game, and the 12 hour trip was extraordinary- couldn’t have asked for more. Will absolutely return for a longer time at Ngalali with Xander and his 4 cute dogs - Cindy, Mia, Oliver and Spotty!

    Wonderful small bush lodge with a great host and wonderful guides. We were made very welcome, like part of the family, sharing stories around the fire before enjoying a wonderful dinner. The game drives were excellent with numerous lion sightings and a great variety of other game. During the day the elephants come to the water hole directly outside the fence and stay for a long time.

    Fantastic food great hosts and super friendly staff No really: fantastic food Sometimes it is difficult to find good accommodation and you don't know where to start, well don't look further...take this place. It is comfortable, clean and has a nice atmosphere. Do not expect to find a five star hotel, it is not nor does it pretend to be. It is a good accommodation in a game reserve. Ask Xander for a game drive or a bush walk. Wish we could have stayed there longer

    Lions place is a beautiful hidden Pearl in Greater Kruger. jP and Daniëlle are great hosts. He lives his ranger dream and is a fantastic guide during Game drives. Danielle is a warm person and cooks with passion. We felt home in the middle of this beautiful nature

    Our 3 day stay at lions place exceeded all of our expectations! The service, room and safari drives have all been amazing and if you are lucky many different animals come drink at the lodge. JP is a great host and really goes the extra mile to make your stay and game drives extra special. One of our most memorable stays ever!
