The biodiversity of the reserve attracts a wide variety of wildlife including the ‘Big 5’.

Tangala has striking views of the Drakensberg Mountains and is closed to the Orpen Gate of the world famous Kruger National Park. The camp consists of a central dining and lounge area with full bar and a swimming pool with a deck. Hot water is provided at all times with traditional old-fashioned "donkey-boilers" (geysers).

Hear the lions roar while you enjoy sundowners as the sun slips behind the blue mountains in the west. Big 5 and other wildlife in the Thornybush Private Game Reserve have 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 African Wildlife Safari.

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.
