Tangala Safari Camp

This has been a great experience! The level of service, the guides, the game drives, everything fantastic. I highly recommend Tangala.

We've been returning to Tangala over many years now. There's a reason for this, i.e. its a lovely safari camp that continues to offer some of the best wildlife sightings you'll see anywhere in the area. For a more detailed review of the camp please refer to my previous reviews. However, summarise it to say, this is still a very authentic camp run by people who care for their guests with the same passion that they hold for the wildlife that surrounds them.

Me and my family love Tangala Safari Camp. They have nice clean room with delicious meal. The staffs also amazing, kind and friendly. The game reserve are two times a day with great tracker and driver. We managed to see the big five! We can also relaxing at the pool and see the wild animals passing by. Also it's easy to captured birds from the lodge. In overall, it was great experience and love South Africa! Hope to be back soon👍🙂

The staff and bush experience is awesome. You will see all of the big 5. Amenities and vehicles however are poorly maintained, as though management seeks to save money on maintenance. Wifi is expensive for what you get (poor coverage, narrow bandwidth and slow). Tangala is expensive given the average amenities.

From our late arrival to the last minute in Tangala Johan and Madeleine were so graceful, courteous and attentive. We enjoyed every aspect of the camp including the cozy and spacious tents, comfortable bed and pillows; delicious meals, friendly attention from the staff, great living/social room, etc. The"babies" (hot water bags) was such a thoughtful detail that helped us all to stay warm at night and during early morning safari drives. Robert and Matimba, our guides, were wonderful, friendly and fun. We learned a lot from them. We saw 4 of the big 5 on the first day! From then on our experiences kept getting better and better, even witnessing wildlife interactions between elephants, wild dogs, nyalas, and hyenas which we will never forget. The views from the camp to the water hole provided great opportunities for viewing more wildlife. Overall a fantastic stay and very grateful to Tangala Safari Camp for everything!

My wife, Yvonne, and I recently enjoyed a 3-day stay at Tangala Safari Camp (April 11-13, 2024) and had a very positive experience. Wildlife Sightings: The location within the Thornybush reserve provided good opportunities to see a variety of animals. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five during our game drives. Our guide, Robert, and tracker, Proud, were knowledgeable and professional, and their skills helped us get close views of the wildlife. Camp Staff: The staff at Tangala were friendly and helpful. The managers, Johan and Madeleine, ensured our stay was comfortable, and Replay at reception was always welcoming. Camp Ambiance: The camp itself is intimate and well-maintained. The accommodations were comfortable and offered a chance to relax and unwind in between game drives. Overall: Tangala Safari Camp provided a good combination of wildlife viewing, comfortable accommodations, and friendly service. It's a good option for those seeking a traditional safari experience in a private reserve.
