A safari naturally encourages you to slow down, and a spa treatment is a welcome way to spend an afternoon between game drives. Treatments can be arranged in the comfort of the lodge, allowing guests to enjoy massages and selected therapies in a peaceful setting overlooking the surrounding bush. Whether easing tired muscles after travel or simply taking time to unwind, each treatment offers an opportunity to pause and enjoy the quiet rhythm of the day. It is another way to enjoy the privacy of an exclusive-use lodge, where the day’s schedule is centred around the people staying there rather than fixed timetables.
The experience is intentionally unhurried, with no need to rush from one appointment to the next.
For guests who enjoy keeping active while travelling, Tulela offers a well-equipped gym with large windows overlooking the surrounding landscape. The space makes it easy to maintain your exercise routine during your stay, whether between game drives and walks or during a quiet afternoon at the lodge.
Simply another way to enjoy your stay, whatever your preferred pace.
The swimming pool is one of the best places to spend a quiet afternoon between game drives.
Positioned to overlook the seasonal N’tsiri River and the waterhole beyond, it’s not unusual to watch elephants, antelope or birdlife while enjoying a swim or relaxing on a sun lounger. Whether cooling off on a warm summer’s day, reading beneath the shade of the trees or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, the pool offers a comfortable place to slow down. Refreshments are always close at hand, making it easy to spend hours outdoors without feeling the need to be anywhere else. It’s a space that naturally brings people together while still offering plenty of room for quiet moments.
Life at Tulela naturally flows between indoor and outdoor spaces, whether you are staying at Tulela Main Lodge or Mondzo Lodge. Both have been created around the pleasure of being together in the bush; with generous spaces to gather, quiet corners to retreat to and the wilderness always close at hand.
At Tulela Main Lodge, mornings might begin with coffee on the deck overlooking the waterhole as the bush comes to life. Spend an afternoon beside the pool watching wildlife wander down to drink, settle beneath the shade of the trees with a good book, or gather around the outdoor fire as evening falls. Inside, comfortable living spaces, an inviting fireplace and the wine cellar create a warm setting for long lunches, fireside conversations and evenings together.
Mondzo Lodge offers its own relaxed indoor-outdoor rhythm. Designed as a private home in the bush for families and groups of friends, its shared living areas provide plenty of space to come together, while the outdoor deck, swimming pool and surrounding bush invite guests to spend much of the day outside.
Whether you're planning a family safari, a celebration with friends or a private group retreat, our team will help you choose the lodge, experiences and itinerary that best suit your plans. We look forward to welcoming you to Tulela.
