This western section is one of the most game-rich parts of the greater Kruger eco-system, and is home to Africa's 'big five' lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo - as well as hundreds of other species of African animals and birds. It is also legendary for its 'white lions”.
Over the next three days you will enjoy exciting dawn and dusk game viewing in open landrovers, and on foot, with professional game rangers and trackers. Today you will arrive in time for lunch with time to relax before heading out on a late afternoon game drive, returning to camp after dark.
Guests at Tanda Tula are accommodated in superbly appointed tents with en suite bathrooms and private patios overlooking the river bed. Delicious meals are served in the dining room or in the open boma around a crackling fire. Laze at the pool, game spot from the viewing hides or simply enjoy the serenity and sounds of the African bush.
