Tambuti Tented Lodge is aptly named, and the camp is tucked in a magnificent grove of tambuti trees, alongside the bank of the Mlawula River. The lodge is beautifully situated and overlooks a flowing pool of the river, with a gentle mountain slope behind it. Bushbuck are a common sight, and crocodiles often swim past.

The tented accommodation is well-planned and well-provisioned. Each luxury tent is tucked under a thatched roof and has an en-suite bathroom, large bathtub, lovely outdoor shower, and wooden deck, leading to the main lodge. The tents can accommodate singles if requested, and otherwise the beds are arranged as kings. The décor is tasteful and comfortable.

The main lodge includes an air-conditioned kitchen and living room, with full views of the river and bush beyond, and its wooden deck attaches to a superb swimming pool overlooking the river. The lodge provides all necessities for self-catering (fridge, microwave, kitchen-ware), and there is an outdoor thatched seating area, as well as an outdoor braai/barbeque area. The main building is air-conditioned.

Tambuti Tented Lodge will wake up guests’ senses- smell the fresh bushveld air in the morning; listen quietly to a Scops Owl after dark; wonder at a herd of giraffe ambling past…..enjoy Mbuluzi at its best.
