Tanda Tula
Tanda Tula means 'To love the quiet', and is situated amidst 20 000 acres of bushveld adjacent to the Kruger National Park in the Timbavati Game Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Tanda Tula Safari Camp is set among stately trees such as Lead Wood, Knob Thorn and the Jackalberry. Renowned as one of the most luxurious tented safari camps in South Africa. Here you will come face to face to nature as it always was, with not a fence in sight to inhabit your freedom. With a maximum of 24 guests, personal attention is a matter of course.
Accommodation at Tanda Tula comes in the form of luxuriously appointed East African style tented suites, each of the tented suite has its own private timber decks overlooking the riverbed. If you are seeking exclusivity, you may be interested in the Tandala thatched suite with its own pool, personal cook, ranger and game-viewing vehicle. For the more adventurous, sleep outs can be arranged at the hide overlooking the waterhole at Tanda Tula Safari Camp.
Tanda Tula Safari Camp offers fine international cuisine with an African dimension - such as medallions of Kudu with mushroom and cheese or carpaccio of venison, accompanied by fine South African wines. Tanda Tula Safari Camp dinner is by candle light - set around a traditional log fire in a boma or a barbecue at the water hole or in the river bed.
Offering more than the traditional 2 daily game drives, Tanda Tula boasts a quality bush experience with numerous options that cater for guests' individual interests. These include walking trails, bush walks, sundowner drinks & snacks in the bush, sleep-outs in a hide, tracking skills, fauna & flora identification, stargazing in the riverbed and special itineraries are available on request. Safari vehicles are all new, and have been custom designed by Land Rover and seat 8 guests in comfort.
Guests can expect to see lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and other general game on game drives. Wildlife activities here enable guests to 'touch, taste and smell' Africa. Your day begins with a game drive of approximately four hours, accompanied by a qualified ranger and tracker. Guests not only get close to big game but also learn to identify birds and trees, taste edible fruit, follow in the footsteps of animals great and small and learn about local bush lore. Become one with the bush as you track silently after the spoor of wildlife during game drives. The night game viewing is an experience of its own. Nocturnal sightings might include bush babies, the elusive genet, or predators hunting and stalking their prey.
