This was a home away from home. It’s a small camp and and because of that you get very personalized service. The tents were wonderful with air-conditioning since we came in the summer. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Overall, the tent was a very good size. The food was delicious and the game drive was exciting. In the evening from the tent, I could hear the lions roaring. We had a wonderful Boma in the evening with chicken curry. I would definitely come back here again,it was quiet and comfortable. Our guide and tracker were very knowledgeable and personable. All the staff were helpful and pleasant.

This was our fourth visit to Tangala the reason being that we always see big 5 in 2 or 3 days. The driver and tracker and lodge service were all great

This property is incredible! The rooms were stunning and so large. I had no idea how amazing the safari rides would be- Justice and Elvis did such an amazing job at making us feel safe and finding/getting up close to the big 5. The service is impeccable- Tinyiko our server was so kind and we felt so cared for. I wasn’t expecting much for the food- due to it being all inclusive- but it was absolutely amazing quality, ingredients and preparation.

All the facilities, the staff, the surrounding nature, the food, and the drinks. I honestly loved every single piece of our experience. I've never been treated so well in my life. Our guide and driver Busani, the waitress Beatrice, and the tracker Opa were true friends to us during our stay. We know it's the crew's job to treat us well, but the way they do that with joy and affection made everything more special. Two nights at the Kapama were enough to impact our lives forever.

Everything was just perfect! Highly recommended!! Luxury accommodations with a home feel in the wildlife reserve with frequent visits from giraffes right by the property. The rooms and common areas are beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The hosts, John and Annalie, are simply amazing! They provide hospitality and care beyond expectations. Once you step foot through the door of the lodge you don’t feel like a random guest, but part of the family. You are treated as a family through the whole stay - warm, welcoming with great attention to every detail. The whole staff is extremely friendly and nice. The breakfast is delicious with great variety to choose from. It’s a home cooked meal in a luxury lodge environment. John helped with booking game drives and providing great recommendations for all the unique experiences in the area. Thank you, guys, for unforgettable experience! I miss you already and can’t wait to come back again and stay with you!!

    We were greeted warmly by owners Michael and Vicky who were always happy to chat and find out about our experience at the lodge. When I mentioned a couple of minor issues they were quickly addressed. Our tent was comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed seeing antelopes just outside. They also came to drink from the swimming pool, giving us some great photo opportunities. The driver Dennis and spotter Phomani were very knowledgeable and found some wonderful sites to spot the animals, especially the lions killing a buffalo.

    Perfect from arrival to departure. Its now around 2/3 weeks ago and we still think about our stay and Safari every day. The lodge is lovely to stay with the kindest staff who also love to make some fun! The area is amazing for safari and game drives. We saw a LOT! And of course the big 5! our tracker and guide made sure we wouldn’t leave without seeing them all. Tangala team goes above and beyond. thanks for making our safari dream coming true like this! We love to return one day!
