Canvas sanctuary tucked into the curve of the Timbavati

Beneath the canopy and close to the Kruger National Park’s untamed edge, this intimate camp feels both hidden and open to the elements. Here, in the unfenced private concession of &Beyond Ngala Private Game Reserve, Ngala Tented Camp invites a safari shaped by instinct, expertise, and the pure thrill of discovery. Game drives unfold without rush or routine. Just presence, attention, and the natural pull of the bush. With just nine tented suites raised among the trees, the camp settles into its surroundings: secluded, soulful, and as much a part of the wild as the branches above. Morning birdsong brings peaceful harmony. Evening lanterns glow like fireflies. And elephants pass unannounced. Designed for those who value quiet connection over constant activity, this is a space shaped for mindful connection. Outdoor bathtubs and generous decks bring the wild close, while interiors reflect the textures and spirit of local Shangaan design. Every moment draws you deeper into nature and gently, back to yourself. *&Beyond Ngala Tented Camp welcomes guests 12 years and older only
