When To Visit
Peak Season: April to September
Balmy days, chilly nights and virtually no rainfall are considered perfect safari conditions.
Green Season: October to March
Hot days and warm nights merge in an under-rated time of year to be in the bush.
Overview
Old meets new at Tanda Tula in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. As a lodge with a long history, it has an enviable position in 100 000 hectares / 247 000 acres of pristine wilderness bordering the Kruger National Park, which allows wildlife to follow ancient migration patterns. Your suite is a stunning combination of traditional thatch and modern glass with interiors that honour the Tsonga people who made the area their home.
In addition to classic activities like game drives and nature walks, Tanda Tula also offers wine tasting and can arrange a professional wildlife photographer to help you craft even better images of your safari. All suites have plunge pools and there is a dedicated option for guests who need mobility support.
