The facilities are amazing: the tents with the outdoor shower are super comfortable, and the restaurant with the view on the waterhole is absolutely fantastic. The safaris that were included were very very good, the guide and the tracker did everything to make sure we saw the animals we wanted to see and we could get very close to the animals. One evening they surprised us with a private dinner on the deck of our tent. All staff members were fantastic, they really care that you have a great stay.
ChileEverything was great! I’d highly recommend anyone to come here for a great safari experience. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive.
United States of AmericaWe had an Absolutely amazing stay at Tanda Tula, 100% recomend styling here. The food was excellent, the rooms perfect, friendly & helpful staff and the setting was beautiful. The two daily Game drives where a once in a life time experience. We saw animals every time! We saw the big 5 in two days, our driver & tracker where great at locating the animals and their knowledge was very insightful. Highlight has to be the pride of lions we watched for about 30 minutes. It was just amazing!
IndonesiaIt is the first time I give a 10/10 rating. What a wonderful, authentic South African bush experience, that exceeded our highest expectations. From the first moment, special, personal attention was the order of the day. It was our 26th wedding anniversary weekend, and everyone went out of their way to make it super special. The game drives (all 18 hours off it) care of Chad and Glen was excellent, informative and a lot of fun - highly. The location, facilities and especially the food - A+! A special word of thanks to Don, Nina, Dale, Hayley, Formen and all the staff that made this a special, memorable weekend. Cannot wait for our next visit...
South AfricaThe food was exquisite! And the views were breathtaking. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The facilities and rooms are luxurious and well maintained.
South AfricaThe staff was very friendly and kind. Everything is taken care of.. just relax and enjoy the nature und the animals ( we saw elephants, rhino, lion, chetah, buffalo, kudu, leopard, gazelles of multiple kind...) (we have to come back for wild dog and hippo...)
SwitzerlandAmazing lodge with amazing staff. Loved the Game drives, the food, the property
RomaniaTanda Tula was the best holiday experience I've had. Everything was planned out and easy, very luxurious experience -- yet somehow not so formal that I found myself feeling awkward like you do in some "5-star" situations. The staff is lovely, the food great, and the value for money is strong. We went on 4 drives in 2 days and saw everything we wanted and more. Highly recommend this place!
IrelandStaff was incredibly prepared, professional and kind. It wasn’t just a safari, but a full educational experience.
United KingdomSuper Service, super Qualität. Alle sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und wissen, was sie tun. Einfach nur zu empfehlen.
