Kruger National Park Hotel Tips by lynnehamman

Ngwenya Lodge: Chalet in the Wild

The accomodation at Ngwenya was everything that it promised to be. Having seen photographs on the internet, we were not disappointed. The chalet we stayed in had two bedrooms, a large lounge/diningroom, fully equipped kitchen , and two bathrooms. Main bedroom had en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom was situated in a loft, up some wooden stairs. Floors are stone-tiled.
The decor is stylish and tasteful, with a distinctive African theme. Beds were very comfortable.There is a cleaning service provided daily.
The Lodge has good facilties.
Restuarant, Floodlit Tennis Court, Laundry,Mini-Golf and a games room..
All Chalets are air-conditioned, and have ceiling fans.
The kitchen has a dishwasher, and marble benchtops.
I recommend this accomodation to anyone thinking about visiting a game park in South Africa.

Unique Qualities: Each chalet has a huge balcony which overlooks the Crocodile River. For us this was a fantastic place to sit and watch the sunsets. We could also see game wandering around on the banks of the river, and birds would perch on the balcony rail. The chalets are designed to give complete privacy, especially the balcony area. We ate most of our meals here.The views were spectacular, at all times of the day. Although Ngwenya is not actually inside the Kruger Park, it is only minutes away. The Kruger Park is situated on the opposite bank of the river.
