Ngwenya Lodge is situated on the southern tip of the world-renowned Kruger National Park. This means that visitors don’t even have to leave the resort to see a huge variety of game species – including the famous Big Five. The river view chalets overlook a scenic floodplain, which allows for magnificent views of the area where the big cats often hunt. Our Dam and Bush view chalets are set back on the property and also have beautiful views, as they overlook tranquil dams or bush areas. Game viewing hides make game viewing on the riverfront accessible to all – so no one misses out on spotting any of their favorite wild animals. Holiday in the luxury you’re used to… The units have fully equipped kitchens with a stove, fridge, freezer and a microwave. Each unit has a television and an undercover veranda with patio table, chairs and a braai, for unforgettable get-togethers with family and friends. Ngwenya’s on-site facilities include a pub, a beauty salon with a wide range of treatments, a curio shop, a small convenience shop, 6 outdoor swimming pools, 18 hole Mini Golf course, 2 tennis courts, trampolines, jungle gyms, a games room with pool tables, table tennis, Playstations with Xbox Kinnect, a kiddies room with various board games, puzzles, and kids movies.We can’t wait for you to visit us.

The resort is very lay-back relaxing, with delicious food enjoyed at the restaurant we really enjoyed our stay at this resort. At the restaurant, there was a full view of the Kruger National Park Crocodile River where wild animals could be spotted. The friendliness of the staff and reception area was of excellence service.

We have a river view chalet and the view is amazing. Love our yearly visit and will change it for nothing. Great place to have a peaceful holiday and recharge the senses. Short trip to Komatipoort to restock and easy driving to the closest entrance to the Kruger Park

Excellent experience once again for the umpteenth time but first in own unit. Game viewed from river frontage unit not as plentiful as previous years but still rewarding. Will return again in 2023 for another stay..

Every last detail at Ngwenya Lodge receives attention. The facilities and maintenance are immaculate. But it is the staff that sets this resort at a cut above the rest. You will have to travel far to find warmer, more friendly and accommodating staff members. They truly made our wedding anniversary weekend special. We have visited many times before in the past and shall certainly come back to visit again.

It was good the resort is clean and well maintained. the staff at reception, in the rooms at the restaurant and the shop were very helpful and friendly. I only had a problem where I saw one of the workers trample on something and then He kicked it like a ball, when I got to the thing it was a bat. I think that was very unprofessional and ride to the animal. My biggest complain is the braai which does not have a roof. in summer the sun burns you and this time a had to stand in the rain and braai, which was not very pleasand.

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your compliments regarding our well-maintained facilities and onsite Team. Kindly note that Management has informed that they have been in touch directly to address your concerns regarding the bat and it was confirmed that the incident that took place was not at the hands of an Ngwenya employee. Our mission is to preserve the natural environment and our Team is very proud of our ongoing project to provide bat hotels for this specific species. Nevertheless, we appreciate this, and the other feedback, to consider additional ways in which we can protect the species in the region and further provide suitable facilities to our guests. We hope to see you again. Kind Regards - The Ngwenya Lodge Team

The location is great, we were lucky enough to have a view of the river and shortly after we arrived the kids were excited to see game on the other side of the river. (Note this didn't happen every day.) The units were well equipped and clean. Just a warning that there is no wifi in the units, and also, surprisingly, there are no back up generators, so on the far too frequent occasions when ESKOM loadsheds, there is only a small emergency lamp in the unit and furthermore no water pressure.

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're pleased to know that you and your family had a lovely time. Kindly note that, due to some technical difficulties, the backup generator was inoperative for some time while load-shedding occurred. Our Maintenance Team was able to correct the issue the following morning. Our project to get fibre installed across the Resort is ongoing and we look forward to providing guests with wi-fi facilities in their Chalets, in the near future. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and hope to see you soon! Kind Regards - The Ngwenya Lodge Team

Have to say I am NOT a big fan of timeshare resorts as a rule. But Ngwenya is an exception. Our unit (nr 4) is however very private, right on the river with wonderful sightings daily; if you're a first-time visitor do ask for a river unit if possible (there are hides to spend time at if you dont have river views, and the restaurant patio has excellent views as well). Prior to our time at Ngwenya we did spend a few days at a private lodge in the Park and of course that comes with different pampering and luxuries, at a price. Checking into Ngwenya, for the 2nd time with some dear friends from abroad (those who travel often and in the front of the plane!) Ngwenya was a continuity of comfort and with all of us being foodies, self-catering is often preferred and a wonderful activity in its own right. This is probably my 12th annual visit. Our UK friends are already planning their visit for next year. What more can I say? Except that sharing this impossibly beautiful treasure of the Kruger Park with folks from overseas remains an immense pleasure, and Ngwenya never disappoints. BTW, the resort is a short drive from the Crocodile Bridge Park entrance.…
