We had an amazing stay at the Tangala Safari Camp. Especially the kindness of the staff and the Safari Tours (2 x per day included) made our vacation unforgettable. The camp and our room/tent was perfectly clean and the food was very good (e.g. homemade granola for breakfast, different salads and sides for high tea and a 3 course dinner with different meat/fish and vegetables) The camp is perfectly located, with a lot of wildlife around. Different animals are using the waterhole that is just some meters away from the camp and some of the smaller animals also walking around within the camp. A usual day would start at 5:00 with a coffee/tea and the morning Safari at 5:30. After the return at the camp we would usually make use of the pool/enjoying the South African sun. High Tea was served at 15:00 and the second Safari of the day would start at 15:30. The Safari itself was unbelievable. The Guides/Trackers are awesome. We have been able to see the Big 5. After the first Safari, we thought we have seen already everything. However, each of the trips were different and stunning. We saw the animals in there natural environment (e.g. Elephants bathing, lions eating a Zebra, Buffalos taking a mud bath). All-in-all an amazing experience.

From the moment we arrived at Unembeza, we knew we had found something special. The hotel is immaculate, blending luxury with nature in the most seamless way. Every detail is thoughtfully designed—not just for comfort, but with a deep respect for the environment. The staff deserves a special mention: incredibly kind, attentive, and always going the extra mile with genuine warmth. Their passion for hospitality shines through in everything they do. The food was consistently delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. And the little details, like the heavenly scented soaps, just made everything feel even more special. One of the absolute highlights was our safari with Jason—an experience beyond words! His knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to make every moment unforgettable turned an incredible adventure into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Unembeza is a place where aesthetic, nature, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony. If you’re looking for a stay that combines relaxation, adventure, and heartfelt service, look no further. We can’t wait to return!
