At Tanda Tula, dining is more than a meal. It’s a celebration of togetherness, a moment to be fully present, and a way to honour life. We embrace simplicity, letting Africa’s vibrant flavours and fresh seasonal bounty speak for themselves.

When creating our menu, I wanted something truly special. So, I turned to our team, representing a rich tapestry of South African cultures, and asked them to share their most cherished dish from their childhood. We reimagined each of those recipes, adding a touch of creativity while preserving their essence. Every plate we serve is a story from the heart, a connection to tradition, and a celebration of our beautiful heritage.

The setting is as important as the plate

Whether out in the bush at sunrise, on the lawn at lunch, or under the stars in a river bed at dinner – no two meal times are ever the same.

Safari stops are a very special part of an African safari. Savour a sunrise with a coffee and Amarula, or a sunset with chilled G & T.
Amazing animals and camp
The food was beautiful … Chef Ryan quite a character and was very keen to make everything special. We even ate a delicious private lunch over looking the water hole where elephants joined us!

Five wonderful days
Meals are a lovely social event as are post-game-drive drinks around the bar where one can exchange stories of '...did you see the lions on the kill?' or 'Five rhino? You must be joking...'
