タンガラ サファリ キャンプ

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.

The main win was that we saw all the animals, nearly all on the first day already. So if this is your objective for visiting a safari lodge, your chances are very high. The host couple were genuinely friendly, helpful and down to earth, a plus for the camp with their authenticity. I appreciated that they were putting in solar panels for the camp. The camp itself is near some water, so you can sit by the pool in the afternoon with a book or a beer and peacefully watch the animals come and go. I enjoyed our comfortably large tented room and listening to the animals in the cold of the night. The camp is not overly luxurious, but homely and comfortable. The meals were a big positive, well prepared and with a willingness to provide something special for any vegetarians. The guiding was a little so-so in comparison with some of the other camps we visited, although we did see Leopard, Lions (a lot), Rhinos. I would definitely recommend Tangala for a 3 night visit.

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.

Our stay with Tangala Safari Camp was our first ever safari and we couldn't have been more pleased with the overall experience. We were greeted warmly upon arrival, offered a delicious ice tea, and the staff took the time to sit down with us and explain everything about how the camp worked - meals, snacks, game drives, etc. It is a small camp and felt like a 'real' safari in the bush, especially the very nicely appointed tent cabin where we stayed. The high tea, and meals were all prepared onsite with homemade items (including desserts!) that we enjoyed very much. The game drives left before sunrise and returned after sunset. Our guides & trackers were knowledgeable regarding all the animals and plants within Thornybush Reserve, which added significantly to our overall experience and enjoyment of the wildlife viewing. The Reserve itself is also beautiful with rolling hills, washes and many trees / shrubs / grasses. Highlights included several up close leopard sightings, and herd of elephants drinking at a large watering hole. We highly recommend visiting Thornybush Reserve and staying at Tangala if you want to see all the 'Big 5' and many others. A great experience.

Best game viewing experience ever. If you want to see the big five from close range and take awesome pictures this is the place to be. The guide and tracker were brilliant and we have awesome pictures as a reminder. At the lodge the management and staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome and gave us service with a smile. The food were good and the high teas was something special everyday. We will definitely visit again.

The game sightings and game drives were nothing short of amazing. The area is rich in a diverse number of animals as well as many predators and elephants. Leopards are my favourite wild sighting and we saw two incredible sightings across 3 drives. The food was lovely, never went hungry. The staff were professional and pleasure to be with. Nothing was ever too much. We enjoyed being at the pool in the day - looking out at the bush. I would highly recommend Tangala for all those who want a real bush experience with delicious food and amazing game.
