No traffic. No emails. Just a hot cup of coffee on the stoep and a bushveld choir that starts warming up before the sun does.

Mornings at Sondela are slow on purpose. Sit, sip, listen, and see how many different calls you can count before your second cup.

Tambuki is the Sondela option for guests who really want to get away from it all for a while.

It is off-grid, 4x4 access only and set deep in the reserve. Bring what you need, leave the schedule behind and spend a few days properly switched off.

Book your stand.

You do not always need a full weekend to get away. A Wednesday-to-Friday stay can give you a proper change of pace without taking a whole week off.

Choose your accommodation, make the short drive to Sondela and enjoy a couple of days in the bushveld before heading home for the weekend.

If you prefer camping when things are a little less busy, a midweek stay at the Caravan Park may be exactly what you are looking for.

You still get the green lawns, private ablution options and a braai at every stand, with a more relaxed Monday-to-Thursday pace.

Book your stand and pack your caravan.
