andBeyond Ngala tented Camp reopens after six-month closure

After a 6-month closure for an extensive refurbishment, andBeyond Ngala Tented Camp has now welcomed guests back to its iconic location on the banks of the Timbavati River.

During this time, the camp’s design has been reimagined; elevating the intimate and exclusive tented experience, while still retaining its classical tented feel and aura of bush romance. Known and loved for its ample wildlife experiences, which include rarities such as African wild dog and the area’s famous white lions, the camp is situated in andBeyond Ngala Private Game Reserve, which shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park. 

A revamped layout

A new layout and an extended outdoor deck ensure that guest tents are even more spacious and luxurious, with the addition of secluded outdoor spaces to while away the afternoon. Redesigned bathrooms will feature both an indoor and outdoor shower, in addition to an al fresco bathtub. Discrete butler hatches, outdoor screens and redirected pathways will add an extra element of tranquility and privacy.     

Similarly, the guest area underwent an extensive transformation to make the most of its spectacular setting above the riverbed, which remains dry through much of the year. Expanded decks with reticulated awnings now provide ample choice for dining options, while the lounge offers the ideal vantage point for guests wishing to spend some leisure time gazing out onto the shaded riverbed.  

Much loved by both guests and thirsty wildlife visitors, the camp’s swimming pool, as well as the surrounding deck, have been expanded. Shady guest salas provide an ideal space for sunbathing or informal poolside dining. The camp’s existing spa has been expanded, and a well-equipped gym has been built to round off the wellness offering. 

Retaining the camp’s elegant balance between traditional and contemporary, the new interiors combine local Shangaan-inspired mid-century silhouettes with regional embroidered designs and textiles, all against the backdrop of its signature granite stone and canvas. Tranquil and gracious, Ngala Tented Camp will continue to welcome children over the age of twelve, providing a romantic and private alternative to the more family-oriented Ngala Safari Lodge, situated in the north of the reserve.  

andBeyond Ngala Tented Camp officially reopened for guests in October 2024.
