CC Africa’s focus: Community equity, income generation, education and health care are a primary concern. In consultation with community organisations such as the Africa Foundation – originally founded by CC Africa, now a not-for-profit rural development organisation – Ngala has initiated many successful community empowerment projects in the Welverdiend community surrounding the Reserve.

Ngala was the first private game reserve to be incorporated in the Kruger National Park, and the first three-way partnership between the private sector, the state and a non-governmental organisation (CC Africa, the WWF-SA (World Wildlife Fund – South Africa), and South African National Parks). Under this partnership, an annual lease, traversing fees and a percentage of Ngala’s profits are paid to the National Parks Trust, thus ensuring the long-term conservation of the land.
