Private and secluded.

We enjoyed the privacy, the scenery, and the visit of buffaloes and zebras in the morning. The house needs updates and repairs. Being that the house is in the bush, be aware that there might be insects, frogs, spiders, and geckos inside. The outside shower and some areas in the house had cobwebs.

Wonderlike stilte en ontspan.

Als was wonderlik. Dankie vir bottelwyn en hout. Waardeer opreg. Diere het ons kom verras by draad! Swembad pragtig skoon. Sou graag daar wou wees as frangepani's blom. Net die pad aanwysings is minder duidelik.

Lekker, maar kon beter.

Alhoewel ons baie hartlik ontvang is deur Devon en die kos heerlik was, was die verblyf 'n teleurstelling. Die foto's op die blad is misleidend en die hele oord het 'n ernstige opgradering nodig. Die houtpaadjies na jou tent is gebreek. Die tent se vloer het 'n hengse bult in die middel van die vertrek. Die tente se dak is baie vuil en vol kolle. Die linne was egter pragtig skoon en netjies.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Nice, but could be better.

Although we received a very warm welcome from Devon and the food was delicious, the accommodation was a disappointment. The photos on the page are misleading and the whole resort needs a serious upgrade. The wooden paths to your tent are broken. The tent's floor has a hump in the middle of the room. The roof of the tents is very dirty and full of spots. However, the linen was beautifully clean and tidy.

Vreeslik lekker gekuier. Die huis se konsep is pragtig. Ons sal weer gaan!

Opgraderings aan die huis is nodig, die beddens slaap wel lekker en die braaigeriewe is goed. Swembad is 'n lekker grootte vir lag en kuier, en die stoep het ons baie geniet. Kombuis "tools" is daar 'n paar wat kort, soos 'n braaivleisbak en broodbord. Stoele buite sit ook nie meer 100% lekker nie.

Had a great time. The concept of the house is beautiful. We will go again!

Upgrades to the house are needed, the beds do sleep well and the braai facilities are good. Pool is a nice size for laughing and hanging out, and we really enjoyed the porch. There are a few kitchen "tools" that are lacking, such as a roasting pan and bread board. Chairs outside are also no longer 100% comfortable.

Perfectly relaxing long weekend.

What an awesome, relaxing long weekend. The staff were pleasant and went out of their way to help us. The food was outstanding. Totally loved the room, had the camping-feel with the comfort of a hotel luxury, had everything that we could have wanted. Had the feel of living in the bush without being inconvenienced and saw plenty of wildlife. Will definitely recommend it and I can't wait to go back.

Ontspanend en rustig.

Die bos huis is 'n lekker plekkie om weg te breek vir die naweek. Sal definitief dit aanbeveel vir mense en weer besoek. Ek sal aanbeveel om genoeg hout saam te vat, hulle gee hout maar moet heeltyd vra daarvoor.

Ongelooflik lekker gerus by Ngama, puik diens en smul lekker kos!

Ek en my vrou het 'n kort rukkie hier spandeer, ons het dit vreeslik baie geniet en sal weer terugkom. Die diens was puik en die aandete en ontbyt was heerlik. Die kamers is goed toegerus vir muskiete en is baie veilig ons het lekker gestort buite met die Sebras en Wildebeeste om ons. Oorweldigend was hierdie 'n baie lekker ervaring en sal weer teruggaan. Daar is wel 2 dinge wat ek wil noem vir toekomstige gaste. Gaan met 'n hoër voertuig, die grondpad kan pad voertuie se onderkant beskadig en as dit baie warm is wat dalk vir jou 'n koelkas met drink goed in. Hulle gee vir jou water, maar dit is kamertemperatuur en daar is nie 'n yskas in ons eenheid gewees nie. Dit is tog 'n bosvakansie, hulle het baie drinkgoed te koop as jy nie jou eie wil saamvat nie. Wonderlike verblyf! Gaan gerus, daar is nie baie aktiwiteite op die perseel nie, maar as jy van wild hou is daar meer as genoeg om te doen buite die grense van die oord.

We loved relaxing at Ngama, excellent service and delicious food!

My wife and I spent some time here and we thoroughly enjoyed it, will come again. The service was excellent and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms are well-equipped for mosquitoes and very safe. We loved the outdoor shower with zebras and wildebeest all around you. It was an incredible experience and we will go again. There are two things I would like to mention to prospective guests. Go with a vehicle with high ground clearance, the gravel road can damage the undercarriage of your car. If it's very hot, take a cooler bag with drinks. They give you water, but it's room temperature and there was no fridge in our unit. It is a bushveld holiday after all, they do have loads of drinks for sale if you don't want to take your own with. Wonderful accommodation! Give it a try. There aren't that many activities on the premises, but if you like game, there will be more than enough for you to do in and around the area.

Dit was fantasties. Die mense was so vriendelik en ons het gou tuis gevoel!

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang met yskoue drankies. Hulle was so behulpsaam met die afpak en aandra na die tent toe. Die tent is baie lekker ingerig met 'n koninggrootte-bed en badkamer. Die kos is heerlik - ons het so vet geword in die 3 dae! Dis heerlik en rustig daar. Daar is staproetes vir diegene wat van stap hou of lekker koeltebome om die tent en 'n plonspoel buite die restaurant. Ek beveel die plek aan by almal wat van die natuur en stilte hou. Dis wat ons die meeste daar geniet het! Dit is naby baie besienswaardighede soos die boot op die Blyde dam en Kapama Safari Lodge vir 'n wildrit. Dis asemrowend met 'n sonsopkoms of -ondergang! Die plek is waarde vir geld! Gaan gerus en beleef dit self.

It was fantastic. The people were so friendly and we soon felt at home!

We were very kindly received with ice cold drinks. They were so helpful with unpacking and driving to the tent. The tent is very nicely furnished with a king-size bed and bathroom. The food is delicious - we got so fat in the 3 days! It's lovely and peaceful there. There are hiking trails for those who like walking or nice shade trees around the tent and a splash pool outside the restaurant. I recommend the place to everyone who likes nature and silence. That's what we enjoyed the most there! It is close to many attractions such as the boat on the Blyde dam and Kapama Safari Lodge for a game drive. It's breathtaking with a sunrise or sunset! The place is value for money! Feel free to go and experience it yourself.

We loved it! Very relaxing, good food and friendly staff.

As we all live very hectic lives, this was just what the doctor ordered! I love the fact that it was in the bush, very relaxing, quiet, but still not too far from the nearest town if you needed retail therapy. The food was great and just all of it was perfect. We can highly recommend this break away in the bush.

Ons is ingewag deur die eienaar en hierdie persoonlike aandag was vir die res van die tyd aan die orde van die dag! Heerlike kos voorberei met sorg! Geen moeite is ontsien nie. Devon, die eienaar, het ook gesorg dat al die reëlings aangaande ons ekskursies vlot verloop. Min gaste maak dit 'n ideale plek om rustig, sonder steurings, vakansie te hou!

Ons wegbreeknaweek was absoluut die moeite werd. Om met die gids in die veld te stap was 'n voorreg. Sy kennis wat hy gedeel het was indrukwekkend. Kos was smaaklik voorberei en personeel effektief.

Heerlik stil en rustig. Ervaar die kalmte van die natuur 100%. Baie gasvry en watertandetes ... regte bosveld-ervaring!

Dit was een van die lekkerste naweke nog ooit, ek persoonlik sal more soontoe terugkeer. Weer en weer.

Ngama Tented Safari Lodge is die ideale naweek wegbreek vir 'n paartjie wat die rustigheid en beeldskoon van die natuur waardeer. Die diens en vriendelikheid van die staf is ver verby verwagting. Ek sal dit vir enige iemand aanraai, want ek weet hul sal ook weer en weer wil terugkeur na Ngama.

Onbeskryflike Bosverblyf

Ons kon ongelukkig net een nag oorbly. Tent toegerus met alles wat mens se hart begeer. Beste is GEEN selfoon ontvangs nie, jipee. Wel WiFi in die ontvangs areas vir die internet-verslaafdes. Die aandete om die BOMA was uit die boonste rakke. Net te veel. Selfs vir ons kospakkies ingepak omdat ons 05H00 die volgende oggend in die pad geval het. Hulle sien my BESLIS weer.

Indescribable Forest Stay

Unfortunately we could only stay one night. Tent equipped with everything one's heart desires. Best is NO cellphone reception, yikes. Well WiFi in the reception areas for the internet addicts. The dinner around the BOMA was top notch. Just too much. Even packed food packs for us because we fell on the road at 05H00 the next morning. They DEFINITELY see me again.

Totally worth a stay

The staff were excellent, friendly, clean and extremely professional. Customer service above all was top class and a wonderful experience. I felt totally safe, especially with the way in which we were taken care of and advised in all areas at all the time. If tranquility and romance is an important factor for you, then this is a great place for that. I enjoyed my stay and felt very welcomed all the time. Devin the founder and owner was extremely helpful and very informative and really went the extra mile to make our stay an absolutely fabulous one!! There are a few areas that I feel could be improved upon with regards to 'value for money" however they are a fairly new establishment, who are already heading in the right direction.

'n Heerlike en rustige naweek met puik en persoonlike diens!

'n Pragtige en rustige wegbreekplek met puik en persoonlike diens. Kon egter nie ons eenheid sluit nie wat 'n probleem vir sekuriteit is, al is daar 'n kluis in die eenheid. Daar is ook geen lugverkoeling in die eenhede nie en die Laeveld se drukkende hitte maak dit ongemaklik. Devon en sy vrou het egter uit hulle pad gegaan om ons tydjie romanties en spesiaal te maak.

A wonderful and peaceful weekend with excellent and personal service!

A beautiful and peaceful getaway with excellent and personal service. However, could not lock our unit which is an issue for security even though there is a safe in the unit. There is also no air cooling in the units and the Lowveld's oppressive heat makes it uncomfortable. However, Devon and his wife went out of their way to make our time romantic and special.

Very nice stay/ A few issues: there was no fridge in the tent, there was only a fan and as it gets very hot in Hoedspruit, I'd recommend air-con. It was a bit boring, due to no TV or games being available on-site, and only a swimming pool. However, the food was very good and the staff were very friendly.

'n Pragtige en romantiese verblyf.

Devin en sy groep was fantastiese gashere en het gesorg vir 'n romantiese atmosfeer. Die etes is keurig voorberei en die verblyf is tot op die punte versorg. Die tente is luuks en veilig. Ons het vir 'n oggendstap deur 'n stuk van die reservaat gegaan ... jy besef dan dat jy jou leefruimte met kameelperd, sebra ens. deel.

Devin and his band were fantastic hosts and provided a romantic atmosphere. The meals were carefully prepared and the accommodation was looked after to the last detail. The tents are luxurious and safe. We went for a morning walk through a part of the reserve... you then realize that you share your living space with giraffe, zebra etc. Share.

Wonderful romantic break

It is difficult for South Africans to find affordable accommodation in private game reserves these days as everything is geared for foreign tourists, however Ngama Lodge was within our budget. We couldn't have asked for anything more - it was a wonderful romantic break! The staff are amazing and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Highly recommended.

Exactly what we needed for a short break from

Ngama is beautifully appointed in the heart of the Guernsey Private Reserve. We felt surrounded by an abundance of wild life and the bush. The hospitality and ambiance of the establishment alike was outstanding - we were really treated like royalty and wished we could extend our stay for another week. Ngama will definitely see us again! Thank you Devon and Team (Donald's food and Blessings service to us was very good!)
