habituated this region for thousands of years. Synonymous with exciting Big 5 Safaris,
friendly service and African Cuisine the staff at Tangala will ensure a memorable South

GAME VIEWING:
Two game drives in open vehicles include coffee and tea in the morning while a romantic
sundowner interrupts the night drives. Meals include a full breakfast / brunch, mid
afternoon tea, snacks and boma dinner. Game viewing at Tangala is of a high standard and
compares with the best in the world. Guest can expect to see lion, elephant, leopard,
rhino, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and other general game on game drives.
Wildlife activities at Tangala Safari Camp enable guests to 'touch, taste, smell' the bush
veld. The day begins with a game drive of a few hours duration, accompanied by a qualified
ranger and tracker. Guests not only get close to Big Game but also learn to identify trees
and plants, taste edible fruit, follow in the footsteps of animals great and small and
learn about local bush lore.
Become one with the bush as you track silently after the spoor of wildlife during game
drives. The night game viewing is an experience on its own. The nocturnal sightings might
include bush babies, the elusive genet, or hunting predators stalking their prey.
Lanterns welcome you back to the camp and guide you along the pathways to the bush boma
for an African feast under the southern stars. Tangala Safari Camp aims to offer guests a
far more ‘up close and personal’ intimate bush experience – perfect for the
visitor who wants to get more out of the bush veld than simply ticking off the Big Five. |
