From R30,000 per night

The Field Camp – sleeps up to 8

Field Camp is an authentic explorers-style safari camp, ideal for families and friends who want to connect with nature and disconnect from the rat-race. The benefits, versus a traditional safari camp, are you can go at your own pace and dictate what you do, and when you do it. The camp is yours, it is your time and your safari. Tanda Tula Field Camp (or Tanda Tula itself) makes a super-easy mini-break from Franschhoek, with direct flights from Cape Town to Hoedspruit airport and an hour to camp in your safari vehicle.

The Field Camp is an exclusive experience in guided walking safaris where guests are led by highly trained trackers and guides, tracking general game and the big five on foot making this a thrilling and life-changing safari experience. Don and Nina are hands-on owners and have been involved since 1976. The staff are extraordinary and the guests love the people experience as much as their safari. The atmosphere of the camp is that of a bygone era and it is easily combined with a holiday in the Cape as it is a fly in destination from Cape Town. (although only open from 1 March to end October). The main camp is open all year round (enquire for more details on smaller parties)

Tents at Field Camp

Featuring four explorer tents, the camp’s philosophy and practices are similar to those of the early explorer camps of Africa. Tanda Tula Field Camp is set up and taken down for each exclusive use safari and the locations will vary throughout the year depending on the seasons and game activities. With a private guide, chef, camp host and dedicated camp staff, activities can be arranged on a whim, and game walks and drives may be as long or as short as you choose.

4 explorer tents configured to suit each individual group of travellers, with a maximum of 8 guests. Each tent has its own outdoor bathroom with hot water bucket shower, eco loo and amenities.

This is an exclusive-use camp and as such it is pitched and set-up based on the requirements of each booking, ensuring low impact on the environment. Open to the environment, Tanda Tula Field Camp allows you the opportunity to get up close to nature.
