    Not a big deal breaker but we would have loved a beef fillet instead of a rump for the dinner choice. Just us being picky.

    The place is just amazing, the design , the comfort of the room , the lovely staff. It is very quiet with only 5 rooms / villas. Lovely communal area by the pool for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bed was extremely comfortable and of course we enjoyed the amazing game drives.

    We had a fantastic 4 nights at Ngala lodge. The staff were very welcoming from the moment we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. The whole experience felt really personal like we were staying with family. The lodges are beautifully styled and spacious! The food was plentyful and delicous. The game drives are an additional cost but were the highlight of our trip. We will definitely be booking a trip back!

    2 days of relaxation and tranquility is a must if you have a busy life. The experience is just breaking. You will not regret spending your time and money. The staff in this place is just a plus, they make the experience, they add their personal touch. They go above and beyond to make your stay memorable and this is hard to find. The bathtub overlooking the reserve is just a plus for me.

    The facilities were very comfortable and clean. All the staff were really friendly and extremely helpful. Both breakfast and dinners we delicious. The lodge is only 90 mins from Jhb.

    Wow we can’t say enough. Gorgeous lodge, the game drives were amazing- after chatting with other game drivers— it’s apparent that lovemoore is the BEST! Timothy the chef was amazing and the food was beyond expectations. All the staff were kind, and very attentive. you felt like you were at the Ritz. youd be silly if you didn’t book this place! 12/10 we will be back to rent the entire lodge with friends & family

    N/a - everything was amazing!

    Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. Timothy, Menard, Lovemore, and all the staff were so welcoming, friendly, and accommodating throughout our stay. They truly made the experience even better than we imaged. My sister and I stayed here after a work trip in Johannesburg. We each had dietary restrictions and Timothy, the chef, was so great at handling them. He made us the most delicious meals! The food was excellent. The lodge is so quiet and relaxing, but still right in the bush so we had many animals visit throughout our stay. The rooms are quiet, clean, modern, and the staff provide excellent service. The staff was also so helpful in arranging transfers from our work hotel to the lodge, and then to the airport. The process was so easy and we felt safe knowing our transportation was already arranged. The game drives were by far one of our favorite parts of our stay. Lovemore, the ranger, is so knowledgeable and has such a passion for the animals and conservation. He works so hard to create the best experiences for the guests on his drive, and he does not disappoint! This was our first time on safari and we learned so much from Lovemore. We also saw some truly amazing sights! The game drives do not disappoint, we went on one every chance we could. We loved our stay so much, it was truly an amazing first experience in South Africa! We already miss it and hope to be back one day. I could not recommend this place enough to anyone looked for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in the bush! For a great value no less.
