Best of Timbavati Private Nature Reserve Attractions & Luxury Tours, South Africa

Tanda Tula Safari Camp sits scenically and strategically within the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve which comprises a portion of the Greater Kruger National Park. The camp, which was the first luxury safari camp in the Timbavati, is located amongst fanning shade trees on the banks of the Nlharalumi riverbed and is well known for blending camp luxury with the surrounding natural environment.

Being one of the best luxury safari camps in South Africa, Tanda Tula provides its guests with incredible big game and wildlife viewing, warm, attentive hospitality and astounding culinary delights. A nearby waterhole sits next to the camp and draws African animals and birds around the clock which can be viewed from the observation deck.

Tanda Tula contains a dozen private luxury tents, all of which are snugly nestled within the bush and have their own exclusive viewing decks. For those wanting a bit more, the Tandala thatched suite offers its guests their own private pool, a personal chef and ranger who will provide you with exciting expeditions about the reserve.

With access to over 20,000 hectares of pristine wilderness, Tanda Tula’s crew can put you right where the action is. The camp’s highly skilled trackers will guide you into the bush via Land Rover or on walking safaris, leading you to fabulous experiences with the Big Five (buffalo, leopard, elephant, lion and rhino) as well as an exotic array of other African creatures.

Each day you will participate in two bush walks or game drives with night excursions offered as well. When you get back from your exciting safari, take a dip in Tanda Tula’s pool, or grab a refreshing drink at the lounge and relax on the viewing deck. When the sun goes down, sit around a log fire in the riverbed and share tales of your daily adventures.

Dining at the camp consists of delicious international cuisine prepared with an African flare. Each meal is served with select South African wines intended to complement each individual dish.

When you choose to stay at Tanda Tula Safari Camp, you choose to view the best of South Africa’s wildlife while enjoying the surroundings of fine, luxury accommodations; the best of both worlds!
