Tangala is one of the last remaining authentic african experiences in South Africa that have been a legacy of the family for more than 3 generations. This intimate and exclusive private safari camp is situated in the 22 000 acre Thornybush Private Nature Reserve, a prime ecological area abounding in wildlife.
Thorny Bush Game reserve now boasts not only "The Big 5" but an ultimate experience with one of our Black Rhino from our Breeding projects. Getting up close and personal with these beautiful animals. We are one of only a few reserves worldwide that have had a King Cheetah born wild! At Tangala we have created the feel of Africa long forgotten and our team strives to give all guests the ultimate African bush experience.
We are proud to announce that Tangala is one of only a few electricity free camps in South Africa. We pride ourselves in personalized, owner managed service. Authentic Simplicity. Tangala was rated as a 3 Star Graded Game Lodge and was a Semi-Finalist in the AA Travel Guides Accommodation Awards in the Game Lodge category.

Area Attractions
Game viewing
Two game drives in open vehicles include coffee, tea and snacks in the morning while a romantic sundowner interrupts the night drives. Game viewing at Tangala is of high standard and compare with the best in the world. Guests can expect to see lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and other general game on game drives. As well as exciting bird watching.
Wildlife activities here enable guests to 'touch, taste and smell' Africa. Your day begins with a game drive of approximately four hours, accompanied by a qualified ranger and tracker. Guests not only get close to Big Game but also learn to identify birds and trees, 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 of its own. Nocturnal sightings might include bush babies, the elusive genet, or predators hunting and stalking their prey.
Lanterns welcome you back and guide you along the pathways to the bush boma for an African feast under the southern stars. By contrast TANGALA aims to offer guests a much more ‘up close and personal’ intimate bush experience – perfect for the visitor who wants to get more out of their African experience than simply ticking off the Big Five.
