History
Opened in February 2020, the Ngala Treehouse was designed by Fox Browne Creative in partnership with architect Jack Alexander as an off-grid extension of the andBeyond Ngala Safari Lodge and Tented Camp. This 12-metre (39-foot) timber-structured tower is located within the Ngala Private Game Reserve on the border of Kruger National Park, offering a completely private overnight "sleep-out" experience.
