Big impact. Light tread.
A better world.
We are a collective of lodges contributing to 100 000 hectares of wilderness protection. Every Tanda Tula guest forms part of this collective of people contributing to wildlife and community impact projects.
It’s how we conduct business. It’s how we treat people. It’s our ethos.
We’re proud of our long-standing reputation for creating a positive change in tourism and conservation. And the standard we have set by investing at every level in our wildlife, land protection, and community initiatives. We’re even prouder of the people who have journeyed with us.
Conservation levies make up a significant portion of the revenues of the Private Nature Reserves in which we operate. This funds security and wildlife guardianship. Ecological management. And we contribute to numerous conservation projects in the Greater Kruger area.
We're passionately committed to developing people through The Tanda Tula Foundation. As our guest, you support this foundation to provide educational opportunities and scholarships to bright young minds.
We form part of a group of lodges developing a hyper-local supply chain link between community businesses and the safari industry in our area. This creates sustainability. Provides opportunities. Changes lives.
Tanda Tula Foundation
We’ve always worked with a purpose. A purpose linked to preserving the wild. A purpose centered on people. And on the future. That’s why we founded the Tanda Tula Foundation. While we focus on the guest experience, our foundation translates that into impacts for our community. We fund the education of young people from our community at exceptional schools and universities. We upskill our team members. And help develop small businesses and non-governmental organizations that align with our ethos.
