    The staff and facilities were all excellent.

    The staff and facilities were all excellent. The highlights, of course, were the two game drives every day and all the wildlife we experienced. The food was plentiful and thoughtfully presented with a combination of local and familiar dishes. The "tents" were just short of opulent but rustic enough to remind us that we were on a safari. The staff was there to take care of our every need. We highly recommend this camp.

    We were greeted warmly by owners Michael and Vicky who were always happy to chat and find out about our experience at the lodge. When I mentioned a couple of minor issues they were quickly addressed. Our tent was comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed seeing antelopes just outside. They also came to drink from the swimming pool, giving us some great photo opportunities. The driver Dennis and spotter Phomani were very knowledgeable and found some wonderful sites to spot the animals, especially the lions killing a buffalo.

    This is definitely one of best places we have stayed! The staff was wonderful, the game viewing was phenomenal with our first sighting being a leopard within 5 minutes of leaving the lodge. We saw the big 5 several times in our 3 night stay. The room was large with a great view of the waterhole (Suite 2). You can take a shower while viewing wildlife at the waterhole - how cool? The food was PLENTIFUL and amazing. Great cocktails too. Loved the different dinner seats every night. A very romantic place to go!

    Perfect from arrival to departure. Its now around 2/3 weeks ago and we still think about our stay and Safari every day. The lodge is lovely to stay with the kindest staff who also love to make some fun! The area is amazing for safari and game drives. We saw a LOT! And of course the big 5! our tracker and guide made sure we wouldn’t leave without seeing them all. Tangala team goes above and beyond. thanks for making our safari dream coming true like this! We love to return one day!

    We had an amazing stay at Tangala. Our first safari and it didn’t disappoint. Our Guide Respect and Tracker Fumani were incredible, went all out to make sure we saw the Big 5, great guys. Karen and Bertus run a fabulous authentic lodge and all the staff were fantastic, they all made sure we had the perfect experience. Can’t recommend Tangala enough !

    The location is perfect for anyone loving the bush. Tranquil and safe. Perfect get away from the maddening crowds of city life. The attention to detail is amazing. A gem in the bush. The affordable accommodation and delicious home cooked meals makes Sunset Game Lodge perfect.
