Our guides read the bush in real time. Tracks in the sand, alarm calls from the trees, birds gathering to circle above a kill. Every detail adds context to the story unfolding around you. Game drives are conducted twice a day (early morning, and late afternoon/ evening) in open 4-wheel drive safari vehicles. The 4-wheel drive safari vehicles enable the rangers to leave the road and provide guests with close up game viewing and fantastic photographic opportunities.
At Tengile, relaxing treatments are available in-room or in the tranquil spa. We have partnered with a leading holistic spa and skincare company, so you can enjoy an authentic, natural African experience. Expect pure indulgence, to emerge refreshed and wholly restored.
We offer tailored adventures on foot, in the company of your guide who applies strict rules to ensure your comfort and safety.
Weather-dependent, walks are conducted during the winter months when visibility is enhanced. It’s also more pleasant to move through dry bushveld, as you learn how to track and experience close encounters with smaller game without them being aware of your presence.
There are so many small and fascinating treasures to be found and studied when you are closer to the ground than inside a vehicle. Many tiny creatures and plants that go unseen during drives are waiting to be discovered on the soil and grasses.
The Boma is a central part of the evening experience at Tengile, combining refined cuisine with the atmosphere of the African bush. Menus change daily and blend modern culinary techniques with local South African flavours, using fresh and seasonal ingredients.
A well-stocked bar and mixologists provide craft cocktails, local gins, curated premium wines, while the kitchen caters to a wide range of dietary preferences and requirements.
Meals are thoughtfully woven into the rhythm of the safari day. Served in a variety of settings from the lodge’s river-facing dining areas and outdoor decks to traditional firelit bomas, or privately on the deck of your suite, creating dining experiences that are both relaxed and quietly memorable.
