INSPIRED BY AFRICA

Intentional and Heartfelt African Hospitality

that fosters meaningful connections, celebrates individuality, and creates a sense of belonging in nature

At Tanda Tula, it’s the people who make the magic.

Our team brings warmth, passion, and individuality to every encounter, creating an experience that’s as meaningful as it is memorable. For us, service isn’t just about professionalism—it’s about heartfelt connection, thoughtful care, and inspiring a sense of belonging.

Proudly African, we are co-owned and managed by the Scott, Jackson, and Mathebula families. Over 44 years, we’ve evolved into a modern camp rooted in heritage and guided by a deep love for this land and its people.

Here, you’re not just a guest—you’re family. We invite you to reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and the life changing essence of Africa, where every moment is crafted to feel deeply personal, restorative, and uniquely yours.

Growing people. Creating change. And living our passion.

Meet the family—each member brings their unique essence, passion, and purpose to everything they do. United by care for one another, our world, and this beautiful life, they embody the unique essence of Tanda Tula.

What we love about Tanda Tula though are the amazing team that makes it feel so warm and friendly. There is a magic here.

From the moment we were greeted by Foreman and staff, to the fabulous game drives led by Scotch and Jack, to the delicious food by Chef Ryan, to meeting Chad Cocking whose blogs and photos I have been following for the past year, to the unbelievable service by the entire Tanda Tula community, our memories of this magical place will be with us for the rest of our lives.

Tanda Tula is an owner-run lodge (rather than run as part of a chain) and that really shows in everything that happens. The owners - the Scott, Mathebula and Jackson families - were very involved and they are very accessible, often wandering around the camp chatting to guests and, no doubt, taking aboard comments and suggestions.
