Last week we had opportunity for a quick day visit to the Dinokeng Game Reserve and thankfully the chilly winter weather let up for a little while, allowing us to spend the day in the great outdoors, exploring the only game reserve where the “Big 5” roam freely within our home province of Gauteng, while also getting a bit of work done.
The reason for our trip to Dinokeng Game Reserve was an introductory visit to Ngata Safari Lodge, the newest addition to DeWetsWild’s portfolio of wild destinations that we offer a reservation service for and that we can use as base for our guided tours. Ngata is a small venue inside the reserve and less than an hour’s drive from our home in Pretoria, offering safari-style tents with en-suite bathrooms – the epitome of “glamping” – and breakfast included in the rate. There is also camping sites where you can pitch your own tent or caravan and use either private or communal ablution blocks. On site there is a restaurant, function venue, boma and swimming pool. We were very impressed with Ngata’s facilities and personnel and if you’d like to book a visit don’t hesitate to reach out – you will probably run into us there one day soon!
