A Magical Safari whirlwind

Tanda Tula is a tented Safari Camp situated in the Timbavati Private reserve next to the Kruger Park in South Africa, and a few weekends ago, R and I had the chance to jet off to Nelspruit airport from Cape Town, hire a car and spend two magical nights at the gorgeous TandaTula camp.

It was an absolute whirl-wind of safari dreaming and after a quick stay with my camera and my note-book, I felt as though we had been away for a week. We were treated to a beautiful luxury tent with an expansive view over a dried river bed, that was frequented by Elephants and Buffalo, just while we were sitting and enjoying a late afternoon coffee! We had a beautiful breakfast in the middle of the bush, and had game drives in the early morning and evening, where we saw an array of beautiful animals, including Rhino, Elephant and a family of Lions- it was really to special for words.

Our beautiful Tent- very luxurious and the sounds of the bush at night is

 possibly my favourite sound in the world!

Some Lion, full and lazy after a kill.

My favourite, like ghosts- the Elephant
