“Ngala
(means Lion in Shangaan)
We had some crazy confusion with our flight leaving Exeter ~ somehow, someone decided we should leave the Lodge at 9 AM. Fortunately, the manager prevailed and we were able to leave as planned at midday. Typical of bush flight schedules, they thought the incoming flight would be early and decided to race to the airstrip to be on time for the new arrivals . . . so, we had what our driver coined a “Ferrari Safari.” And it was crazy — about 100 degrees and driving as fast as humanly possible, in an open vehicle, on unpaved roads through the Sabi Sands. It might be the riskiest thing we have actually done on this trip. But we arrived in one piece and had a nice 15 minute flight with the same young pilot as our flight into Ngala.
The airstrip in Ngala in about a half hour away from the tented camp, and our Ranger Rob was at the strip to meet us. The terrain here is more open, seems flatter and is sandier in color. There also seems to be more green trees and no burned areas.
Ngala borders Kruger National Park, and our camp (with just six permanent tented rooms) is very laid back with much more flexible time schedules and is also more focused on tracking. A lot more time here is spent waiting and watching — often, we have learned, with great rewards.
Since we have seen the “Magnificent 7″ (the previously mentioned “Big 5″ plus Wild Dogs and Cheetah), we are also more relaxed about our game viewing.
The Ambiance
Oh yeah — let me not forget to describe the facilities here — very elegant/upscale, permanently tented suites with full power, A/C, no windows-just screens open to the elements and, of course incredible gourmet meals. Fred has said (and I quote) “I have nothing to complain about the food here — it is really good.” This of course, excludes the one French meal we had in the Winelands, since he hates French food.
It still gets quite cold here at night; they put down shades, draw the drapes and provide wonderful bedding with dual control electric blankets. We also have an outdoor, secluded shower in addition to the indoor bath with freestanding tub. This is why one recent guest called it “glamping” — a term that describes it perfectly.
We haven’t seen too many Americans on this trip, Brits, Aussies, Germans, Spanish, Chileans, Irish and more. We are currently riding around with some folks from Perth who are lots of fun.
Since Ngala means Lion — we did search and find two on our first drive. We watched them sleep for a long time, wake up for 20 seconds of mating and back to sleep. . . . this male is a beautiful specimen with an incredible mane. He is so perfect because he apparently runs from most adversarial situations and is hanging around with one female instead of the usual pack of males. The staff does not know where the female has come from and are mystified by his behavior.
The hit of this drive, for us, was seeing the Hyaena den with three pups sleeping and looking around outside!
The night sounds are amazing as the temps drop into the 40s and many animals move around — we heard Lions roar, an Elephant trumpet, Monkeys play and many more sounds I am happy not to be able to ID.
Day 2
Waiting & Watching
On our first morning drive, Adam our tracker found a Leopard in a tree with its recent kill. She was so camouflaged even our Ranger had trouble spotting her. Adam seems to have some sort of magical tracking powers. Once we got it all sorted out, we watched her for quite a while. It is unbelievable how these animals blend in — a Lion can be 10 feet away, or a Leopard above you and you don’t know they are there.
Later, we went to a small lake that serves as a popular watering hole, found another Leopard (much more visible) in a tree and proceeded to wait for her to make a move on some Impala. She never took her chance, but in the process we watched herds of Impala, a few rambunctious Wildebeest, a family of Warthogs and several Hippos.
We were actually trying to get some photos …”

Haleigh Cummings Home
Haleigh did have a toddler bed in her bedroom. Many have said no beds were in the house so how could Misty have “looked under the beds”-the children had toddler beds. I have seen them in videos.
One is on the today show website-it just shows Haleighs bed and has been clean up-another video I saw shows how toys and blankets, clothing were on the bed so one could need to look under it to look for a child.
