Our Family

Inspired by Africans, delivered by Africans and co-owned by Africans.

Tanda Tula launched in 1978. 44 years of transformation has brought us to where we are now: a modern camp owned and managed by the Scott, Jackson, and Mathebula families.

Growing people. Creating change. And living our passion.

That’s why we keep our camps small, sharing this special place with only a few guests every year. And it’s why so many of our guests keep coming back.
