A day at Ndaka

Family-friendly fun for everyone

There’s no such thing as a ‘normal’ day at Ndaka. Some days we’ll sneak off for a spot of fishing; other days we’ll head off to a special spot for a bush breakfast or go for a swim at the river. As each day dawns, so a new story unfolds.

Although spattered with surprises, a typical day at Ndaka Safari Lodge consists of the following:

Timeline 1

BEFORE YOUR MORNING DRIVE


Start the day with a hot cup of tea or coffee, before heading out onto the plains to see what sightings the dawn has to bring.

Relax around the pool, get lost in a book, play board games with the family or have a siesta – your time is your own! Kids can play on the jungle gym, swim in the pool, play a game of soccer and make new friends.

LUNCH


SUMMER 13H30 - 14H30 | WINTER 13H30 - 14H30


No need for the kids to stop playing in the garden or swimming in the pool at lunchtime! Lunch is light and informal, so tuck in and enjoy on a lounger or on a picnic blanket in the garden.
