About Ngoma Bush Lodge
Ngoma Bush Lodge is a rustic safari lodge in Hoedspruit with meals and game drives included, set on a private 600-hectare plains-game farm near Kruger National Park. With only five thatched bungalows and a maximum of 10 guests, the lodge offers a quiet, uncrowded bushveld stay for travellers who want nature, space and a slower safari experience.
Standard stays include dinner, breakfast and two daily plains-game drives on the farm. Guests can enjoy sightings of plains game such as giraffe, zebra, kudu, sable, wildebeest, impala and other antelope species. For guests wanting a Big 5 experience, offsite Big 5 safari drives can be arranged nearby at an additional cost.
Ngoma Bush Lodge is ideal for couples, small groups and travellers looking for an affordable safari lodge in Hoedspruit, while still being close enough to explore Kruger National Park and the Greater Kruger region. Wake up to the sounds of the African bush, enjoy plains-game drives, and spend your evenings around the traditional boma fire under a canopy of stars.
