Tangala Safari Camp is one of earliest established safari camps in Thornybush. Being established in 1940 Tangala is entrenched in the history of the region. In 2016, the safari camp underwent a renovation that saw the introduction to 6 new luxury colonial tents. A major addition was the transition to an eco-friendly approach to the operation of the safari camp.
All the power is sourced from solar renewable energy. This decision was made to ensure our responsibility to planet and the sustainability of the ecology in the area is achieved.
In 2017 Thornybush dropped its fences adjoining the world-renowned Kruger National Park. This resulted in the free movement of wildlife in the area as well as treasured safari experiences.
