An intimate tented safari experience in the heart of Timbavati
Tanda Tula Safari Camp offers one of South Africa’s most soulful and immersive safari experiences. Located in the wild and unfenced Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, which shares an open border with Kruger National Park, the camp blends understated elegance with the spirit of true safari adventure. Each of the 12 custom-designed tented suites sits beneath a canopy of trees, overlooking the Nhlaralumi River, allowing wildlife to wander freely past.
This is a place where intimacy and authenticity reign. The camp is owner-run, and that personal touch is felt in every detail — from the thoughtful design and exceptional guiding, to the warmth of the team who welcome you as friends. The experience is unhurried and immersive, allowing guests to settle into nature’s rhythm, whether on a morning game drive or gathered around the fire under starlight.
Tanda Tula is also deeply committed to conservation and community. With a strong focus on low-impact tourism and local partnerships, the camp offers a meaningful way to experience the bush — not just through sightings, but through stories, connection, and care for the land. It’s a place where luxury feels grounded, and where every moment speaks to the heart of wild Africa.
