    Tanda Tula Safari Camp

    Tanda Tula Safari Camp, strategically positioned along the Nhlaralumi River in South Africa’s Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, located in the Greater Kruger National Park. Tanda Tula has been redesigned to offer guests intimate experiences immersed in the vast expanses of unfenced wilderness, providing a glimpse into the symbiotic relationship between humans and wildlife.

    Guests can embark on various adventures or simply unwind amidst nature, whether observing wildlife on world class game drives, indulging in a sundowner at Sunset Plains, or savouring South African cuisine. Tailored experiences cater to diverse interests, from families to avid birders. Game Drives are the real highlight at Tanda Tula. Expert guides and trackers, highly skilled and knowledgable promise exceptional close up sightings to the big-5 and other majestic wildlife. Guided walks offer immersive encounters with nature, fostering a deeper connection with the wilderness and its inhabitants. Tracking, a traditional skill practiced by expert trackers, enhances wildlife sightings and enriches the overall experience.

    At the main camp you can expect exceptional dinning experiences under the star, gym and spa, rim flow pool and multiple relaxation areas overlooking the reserve. Nine hybrid canvas and glass suites provide a tranquil bushveld setting, complemented by secluded spaces like a hide, library, and open-air bar for both communal gatherings and moments of solitude. The camp’s interiors pay homage to South Africa’s Tsonga heritage, blending modern comforts with eco-friendly practices such as solar power and water conservation.
