We had an amazing stay at the Tangala Safari Camp. Especially the kindness of the staff and the Safari Tours (2 x per day included) made our vacation unforgettable. The camp and our room/tent was perfectly clean and the food was very good (e.g. homemade granola for breakfast, different salads and sides for high tea and a 3 course dinner with different meat/fish and vegetables) The camp is perfectly located, with a lot of wildlife around. Different animals are using the waterhole that is just some meters away from the camp and some of the smaller animals also walking around within the camp. A usual day would start at 5:00 with a coffee/tea and the morning Safari at 5:30. After the return at the camp we would usually make use of the pool/enjoying the South African sun. High Tea was served at 15:00 and the second Safari of the day would start at 15:30. The Safari itself was unbelievable. The Guides/Trackers are awesome. We have been able to see the Big 5. After the first Safari, we thought we have seen already everything. However, each of the trips were different and stunning. We saw the animals in there natural environment (e.g. Elephants bathing, lions eating a Zebra, Buffalos taking a mud bath). All-in-all an amazing experience.

Exceptional service in an exceptional location. once you’ve done a safari in a private reserve you will never look back, and this is the best lodge in the best reserve. Made to feel very special, all the staff knew our names from the moment we arrived. Game drives all stunning, good fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. already plotting our return, and this time we will bring friends and family to share it with. Justice and Elvis were the best of hosts on the game drives.

    Perfect from arrival to departure. Its now around 2/3 weeks ago and we still think about our stay and Safari every day. The lodge is lovely to stay with the kindest staff who also love to make some fun! The area is amazing for safari and game drives. We saw a LOT! And of course the big 5! our tracker and guide made sure we wouldn’t leave without seeing them all. Tangala team goes above and beyond. thanks for making our safari dream coming true like this! We love to return one day!

    Mixed Feelings About Waterbuck Lodge We recently stayed at Waterbuck Lodge as part of our honeymoon, and while there were some highlights, unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations, especially considering the cost. First, the positives: the game drives were absolutely fantastic! The team was warm, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, making the wildlife experience the highlight of our trip.

    The lodge is beautiful, the views are amazing. Shumbalala Family made the stay unforgettable. Everything is well thought and organized, friendly and sincere. All is needed from guests is to relax and enjoy, which we truly did. Ryan was our ranger and together with the tracker arranged awesome game drives and so much information about animals, birds and flora around. Loved every moment of our stay.

    We had an amazing stay at Tangala. Our first safari and it didn’t disappoint. Our Guide Respect and Tracker Fumani were incredible, went all out to make sure we saw the Big 5, great guys. Karen and Bertus run a fabulous authentic lodge and all the staff were fantastic, they all made sure we had the perfect experience. Can’t recommend Tangala enough !
