Our stay was incredible, 5 star luxury from start to finish. The food was amazing, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the rooms had everything we needed. Maria and Reinhardt were extremely kind and helpful with anything we needed and provided great information on Kruger NP and surrounding area. All of the staff were kind and no ask was too much. I highly highly recommend.

Everything about the property is great, lovely dinners, lovely ladies from reception to the serving. Lovely room, very clean and cosy. The location also great, I’ve travelled more than three times and I use a small hatchback but the roads aren’t bad.

The biggest purpose of staying at this hotel was the game safari. The game safari experience was amazing. I met several cheetahs and leopards, which are said to be difficult to see. I was able to meet other animals at such a distance that I could actually feel their breathing. Respect and gratitude to the team of drivers and navigators for their professional work in guiding us on our game safari.

    We were greeted warmly by owners Michael and Vicky who were always happy to chat and find out about our experience at the lodge. When I mentioned a couple of minor issues they were quickly addressed. Our tent was comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed seeing antelopes just outside. They also came to drink from the swimming pool, giving us some great photo opportunities. The driver Dennis and spotter Phomani were very knowledgeable and found some wonderful sites to spot the animals, especially the lions killing a buffalo.

    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!

    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 !
