andBeyond invites travelers to sleep in wild south africa in ngala treehouse

isolated in the heart of south africa, rising thirty-nine feet in the air is the ngala treehouse, the latest project by andBeyond. the completely private, four-level hotel accommodation — surrounded by nothing but the south african bush — opens in february 2020 as a new experience at the andBeyond ngala safari lodge and andBeyond ngala tented camp. fully solar-powered, the timber treehouse offers a rooftop deck with an outdoor bed and lounge for ‘al fresco sundowners’ and dinner for two, an indoor bedroom, and a full bathroom with an outdoor shower — all with uninterrupted views of the bush below.

situated on the border of kruger national park, the andBeyond-designed ngala treehouse is situated within the andBeyond ngala private game reserve. the reserve shares unfenced borders with south africa’s most famous wilderness area which allows a variety of wildlife species — including the ‘big five’ lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and cape buffalo — to wander freely. as a private reserve, andBeyond guests enjoy exclusive game drives and bush walks on 36,000 acres of wilderness land.

with the ngala treehouse, andBeyond grows a collection of twenty-nine lodges and camps across the globe. the team designs personalized high-end tours in thirteen countries in africa, five in asia and four in south america, offering discerning travelers a rare and exclusive experience of the natural world. when staying at south africa’s ngala treehouse, couples pack up just what they need for the night and are escorted on a game drive to the treehouse for a sleepover complete with a stocked bar and jars of midnight snacks. surrounded by a thorn boma fence and just a phone call away from the dedicated treehouse attendant, travelers can feel safe in this otherwise intimidating setting.
