Tulela Safari Lodge

Private. Exceptional. Exclusive. The privacy of having an entire lodge exclusively for family, or a group of friends, is incredible. The amazing team—guides, hosts, housekeeping—have such a good measure in their warmth but also discretion. The seclusion of the bush, with so few vehicles in sight, made us feel like we had the wilderness all to ourselves. Two flexible accommodation options, catered or self-catering, were ideal for our group. Tulela is a finely tuned balance of exclusivity, comfort, and raw, untamed nature. That's the bush at its best. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay at Tulela and can recommend anyone to stay there. Professional and friendly staff. Rooms are extremely neat and you feel part of the bush. We had amazing sightings. Anyone will enjoy a visit at this fantastic.

Tulela was the most incredible experience. Jordan our guide and Duncan our tracker were phenomenal. My family is leaving with memories we will never forget. We want to plan our next trip back to Tulela ASAP! Thank you to all of the staff, Florence, Bernard, Angie, Laura and the rest of the staff for an outstanding experience. We hope to be back soon.

It was such a magical place. The staff, ranger and spotter were amazing. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The knowledge that Troy had and shared with our families was incredible. The lodge is gorgeously done and the rooms are beautiful. There is so much attention today detail from the decoration to how the table is set every day. They were super sweet, patient and entertaining with the kids. They make sure to make it one of the most memorable trips for both adults and kids.

It was clearly beyond my expectations. This place is unique in South Africa ! You feel like at home while you stay there. We had wonderful sightings : lions, elephants... Thank you to all the team : Brett, Miranda, Guy and Duncan. You make a great work ! Hope to come back very soon. Thibaud

Everything about this lodge was 5☆, especially the staff. Over the years we have visited numerous game reserves, but the sightings at Tulela were truely breathtaking. I know that does involve a bit of luck, but it made our stay really memorable.

My time at Tulela was the most magical experience of my life. Everything was perfection. The accommodations and grounds were stunning and immaculate. Rika, Werner, and the entire staff were wonderful and so friendly and the food was incredible. The safaris with Werner and Caswell were truly unforgettable. It is amazing how many animals we were able to see thanks to their tracking talent! Werner’s knowledge of all fauna and flora was beyond impressive. I would give Tulela 10 out of 5 stars if I could!

Fantastic self catering experience - team were exceptional from Jordan and Caz who made sure we had outstanding sightings ( and super scenic drives) to Angelique, Pagnacia (sp ?) taking care of our every need. The house is beautifully appointed ,the kitchen outstandingly equipped. The best “self catering “ experience I’ve had.
