In the wild heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, where the N’tsiri River bends beneath ancient trees, our days are measured by the rustle of leaves and the distant call of lion. This is Tulela Safari Lodge, a place of stillness and deep connection. For the third year running, we are also a contender for one of the most prestigious accolades in hospitality: the World Luxury Hotel Awards.
A Legacy of Excellence
Since 2006, the World Luxury Hotel Awards have honoured the finest hotels, lodges, and resorts across the globe. These awards are a reflection of guest experiences, industry respect, and a commitment to excellence that endures year after year.
For us at Tulela, the journey began in 2023, when we were honoured with our first gold for Best Luxury Private Safari Lodge in Africa, recognition of the way we reimagine safari as something wholly yours: no strangers and no set schedules.
In 2024, we took home a second gold, this time for Best Luxury Exclusive Use Safari Lodge in the continent, celebrating our dedication to giving families, friends, and milestone travellers an entirely private lodge experience, complete with our Star Deck sleepouts, Big Jack brunches, and conservation encounters that linger long after you leave.
Now, in 2025, we find ourselves on the brink of something rare, the chance to make it three in a row.
Why This Nomination Matters
Being nominated for the third time is a testament to the people who make Tulela what it is, our guides, chefs, trackers, butlers, groundsman and housekeeping team who understand that true luxury is about feeling at home in the wild. It is also a tribute to the guests who have walked our riverbeds, watched the stars from our deck, and found peace in our quiet corner of the Greater Kruger.
And this is where you come in.
