The area is easily accessible from the city of Masvingo, as it is lies roughly midway on a highway linking the province's two main cities of Masvingo and Chiredzi.
Although the greater Ndanga district is vast, extending as far south as Jerera, it is this original Ndanga area that is home to the district's largest hospital.
A relatively small business centre, with its sprawling residential area, lies adjacent to the hospital.
The community of Ndanga is served by a council school, Chimedza.
The Nyabise dam on the Nyabise river supplies the whole Ndanga area that includes all the neighbouring villages with water, but now the dam is 100% silted since 2000 during Cyclone Eline.
