CAPE TOWN – THERE’S something transformative about being in the wild. But when that wild is yours alone – when the lodge, the schedule, and the wilderness are all shaped around you – the experience moves from memorable to life-changing.
This is the power of exclusive-use safaris, and Tulela Safari Lodge leads the way.
Set within the vast expanse of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Tulela redefines what luxury means. Here, it’s not just about exceptional service or elegant design — it’s about ownership of the moment. Every sunrise, every animal sighting, every meal and milestone, curated entirely for you and those you love.
What Makes Exclusive-Use Different?
In a world where luxury travel is often shared, exclusive-use offers something rare: privacy, personalisation, and the freedom to truly connect. At Tulela, your safari becomes your own narrative – with no strangers, no strict schedules, and no distractions.
Unlike a shared lodge where guests follow a preset schedule and share spaces with strangers, exclusive-use turns a safari into your own story — uninterrupted and unhurried.
There’s no adjusting your rhythm to others, no queuing at sightings. Whether you want early morning drives or long, lazy brunches overlooking the waterhole, your time is yours.
Your Own Wilderness
Nestled within the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Tulela provides 9,000 hectares of private wilderness. Here, wildlife roams free, and guests explore without crowds – a rare privilege in the Greater Kruger.
The reserve’s low tourism density allows for unfiltered experiences: elephants at dusk, lions calling under starlight, herds of buffalo grazing against a golden horizon. These aren’t curated moments. They’re real, raw, and yours alone to witness.
Tailored To You
Everything at Tulela is designed around you — not just in theory, but in practice. From game drives and bush walks to mealtimes and menus, the experience is sculpted around your preferences, not someone else’s itinerary.
Your guide reads more than just tracks — they tune into your energy and interest, whether it’s photography, birding, or storytelling around the fire. Meals unfold when you’re ready, and every day can be spontaneous, intuitive, or indulgently slow.
If your children want to learn about dung beetles one day and help make bush bread the next, that’s the adventure. That’s the rhythm.
Who It’s For
Multi-generational families, milestone celebrations, honeymooners, and anyone seeking deep connection in a private setting will find their ideal safari at Tulela.
In today’s world, true privacy is a luxury. At Tulela, it’s standard. Experience the safari the way it’s meant to be: yours.
