Welcome to Ndaka Safari Lodge

Your family’s favourite Big 5 game reserve in KZN

Experience the Big 5 in KZN’s premier safari destination.

Our modern lives are simply too busy. Rushing from task to task, we don’t get enough treasured time with family. That’s why lodge owners Mark and Tracey created Ndaka Safari Lodge in the first place—they wanted out of the rat race, and they wanted others to have the opportunity to take some time off too.

So, breathe out, and let us take care of everything for you. You’re here at Ndaka Safari Lodge, where you’ll feel right at home with nature, and connected to one another.
