Connecting in Nature
Meeting Wonderful People

Life’s most memorable moments are about being fully present with the people who matter most. Here there’s space to breathe, connect, and immerse yourselves in Africa’s magic.

Picture venturing into the bush as the sun rises, or standing in awe as the gold-amber light fades over a savannah as vast as you’ve ever seen. It’s the laughter, the thrill of discovery, the adrenaline of safari adventures, and the quiet serenity of just being. Restful sleep, intimate meals under a pitch-black sky enchanted with stars (some shooting), and the joy of savouring every moment in an environment where every detail is thoughtfully taken care of.

It'll feel like just the two of you in another wonderful world!

Safari

Your honeymoon safari is custom-designed by Tanda Tula’s expert guides and trackers who combine encyclopaedic knowledge with exceptional hospitality. They don’t just find wildlife; they create adventures tailored to what excites and inspires you.

From tracking lions on the hunt to watching elephants play at a waterhole, these shared moments with new friends forge bonds that last long after your safari ends. Game drives in the early morning and late afternoon offer up to eight hours of immersive wilderness exploration.

Dining

At Tanda Tula, dining is an art. Dreamy settings materialise beneath starlit skies, deep in the bush, or around a fire, enriched by the scents and sounds of the wilderness.

Our chef creates extraordinary menus paired with fine wines, introducing flavours inspired by fresh, local ingredients. In no time, he’ll know your favourite tastes, tailoring your plates to your preference.

Service is attentive yet warm, delivered by a team that quickly feels like family.

Socialising

Tanda Tula creates the perfect setting to meet fascinating people from around the world. Share craft beer and cocktails at the bar, unwind by the pool, or swap stories and laughter in the Boma after an invigorating day on safari.

With extraordinary wildlife encounters, delicious food, and great company, bonds form naturally. These connections often spark lifelong friendships, with some guests returning years later to toast the memories first made here.

Private time

A safari is the perfect setting to reconnect and find peace after the busyness of life (and wedding preparations).

Enjoy private dining, relax in your Safari Suite with plunge pool, or retreat to stylish spaces like the library, lounge, or a quiet corner.

Seek out the hide by the waterhole, and sit together in peaceful silence, watching the comings and goings of birds and animals. The stillness of the bush offers a rare chance to simply be with one another, and nowhere else to go.

Move and relax

At Tanda Tula, balance is yours to find - be that through movement or relaxation.

Our air-conditioned gym is small but fully equipped for staying active. Early morning bush walks, led by expert guides, offer an active and immersive way to explore the Timbavati Nature Reserve. For a more tranquil start, practice yoga on your private deck.

For relaxation, the Wellness Nest offers customised massages, scrubs, and body treatments using luxuriant African products. In-room and couples’ therapies are also available.

Your Accommodation

Each suite at Tanda Tula is designed with romance in mind. Sliding glass doors and canvas walls invite the natural beauty of the bush into your space.

Shades of deep aubergine, textured wood, and intricate Tsonga patterns create an atmosphere of effortless luxury, while fine linens and local art complete the feeling of intimacy and style.

Safari suites

Our seven Safari Suites are private sanctuaries featuring a spacious bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and a lounge, with an outdoor deck and private plunge pool ideal for relaxing or taking in the views.

The best Experience
I went with my wife for 3 nights starting a 28 day trip through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. One of the best experiences of our life. A spectacular view of the South African savannah, we saw the big 5 and many animals, the wonderful service, all the staff treated us with great kindness, the safari guides with much knowledge of their work, we would really repeat this beautiful experience in Tanda Tula.

Safari Shangri-La
What an amazing finale to our South African holiday. Our 3 nights at Tanda Tula were really special. Immaculately chic decor of a boutique hotel but with uninterrupted views across the bush. There were antelope on the lawn and elephants and buffalo at the watering hole!

The staff are warm, genuine and friendly and are determined to make your stay the best it can be. They are what make Tanda Tula special. Steven and Eric our guide and tracker gave us an experience we shall never forget.

Bush breakfast, mating lions, gin and tonic at Sundown. It is luxury that is unpretentious. It is somewhere to forge new friendships and it already feels like a magical mythical place far away from rainy England.
