Safari, South Africa

Tanda Tula, Timbavati National Park

Stay/Play
Tanda Tula is a tented, but luxurious game reserve located in Timbavati National Park, near the well-known Kruger Park. On safari, everything is arranged for you...Warm muffins and coffee delivered to your tent for the morning wake-up. Breakfast is served in the middle of the bush, on a dried-up river bed. Cocktail hour takes places half-way through the afternoon game drive. And dinners are spectacularly prepared in a different venue around camp each night. The animals will genuinely take your breath away.

Ask Harry, our friend the bartender, for the hot chocolate & Amarula (S Africa's take on Baileys) combo after your evening game drive.

A Safari Holiday-tion is one of the most spectacular activities of a life-time, and it suits all ages (except young children!).

Holiday-tion lit pick

• Chasing Harry Winston - Lauren Weisberger

Holiday-tion beauty tip

• Kikoy wraps. If you stay at Tanda Tula you'll find kikoys in your tent to borrow while lounging by the pool or on the veranda. I ended up buying 2 from the boutique. They are hip, yet authentically African, and you can use them as sarongs, beach towels, and apparently tablecloths (haven't tried it). http://www.kikoy.com/

Holiday-tion charity note: Harry and his brother, Smilling, have started the Kunavelala Community Project to raise money to give young boys the opportunity to play soccer in a safe environment. The project is only 1-year old but the dream of revitalizing their rural village is slowly taking form. Harry is now working on a vegetable garden that will assist the local community by providing food resources and social support. If you're interested in getting involved, please contact me and I can send you information on the project.
