Timbavati Nature Reserve, South Africa

Tanda Tula Safari Camp

Tanda Tula Safari Camp is located in the heart of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, forming part of the Greater Kruger National Park. As one of South Africa's most luxurious East African-styled tented camps, guests have an unforgettable experience in game viewing, warm hospitality and award-winning cuisine.

Set on the banks of the Nlharalumi riverbed, Tanda Tula is shaded by majestic trees and overlooks a watering hole that attracts wildlife from dawn till dusk. Each of the 12 tents is completely private, surrounded by lush riverine bush with a deck overlooking the riverbed. Each tent has its own private deck with loungers or deck chairs. The interiors are furnished in great elegance and comfort. All the tents have beautiful en-suite bathrooms with traditional Victorian bathtubs and romantic outdoor showers overlooking the bush and riverbed.

There is a private, open air therapy hide at the edge of the watering hole where Nicoline, our therapist, provides guests with a variety of aromatherapy treatments. The infinity pool overlooks a large watering hole, often frequented by elephant and buffalo. The bar and lounge are always open, and our superb barmen, Harry and Smiling, will gladly bring you your favorite drink.

Tanda Tula is sanctuary to Africa's Big Five, with traversing over more than 20,000 hectares of wilderness and undisturbed biodiversity. Guests are guaranteed an incredible wildlife experience. Highly skilled ranger and tracker teams guide guests in the early mornings and evenings, in open Land Rovers or on foot.

Tanda Tula is the oldest camp in the Timbavati. Steeped in history, the Hugo family goes back many generations linking conservation and the Shangaan culture - and their joy is sharing it with the world. The camp exudes elegance, combining comfort and style with African roots. The open plan lodge merges luxury with the natural environment.
