Tandala
Camp
The
camp is located just outside the park gate and is a welcome break
on the ‘never ending road’. Being outside the park the
camp also has direct benefit for the local communities.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Ten tented bandas raised on stilts with wide verandahs
and large platforms. Most bandas overlook the Mdweka sand river
which attracts seasonal wildlife. All tents are fully en suite and
spacious.
THE FACILITIES
Large central bar, complete with a pool table, with
old colonial style huge leather sofas and chairs. The separate dining
area has outstanding French cuisine.
A swimming pool acts as a magnet for elephant.
THE SAFARIS
Game drives can be organised inside the park and
walking safaris can be taken both from the camp and inside the park.
The camp will also organise cultural visits to the local villages.
THE VERDICT
A really pleasant surprise, good quality accommodation,
excellent food and healthy game activity in the camp environs. Difficult
to compete with the camps inside the park for location but an excellent
stop for arrival and departure days if coming by road.
Sven claims he has never been as close to elephant as he has been
at Tandala and hes been chased by a few in his time -below is a
pic he took at the camp in July 2007 without a zoom lens
