Accommodation at Tuningi Safari Lodge - The Main Lodge
Luxury Suites:
Tuningis exclusivity is emphasised by the limited number of rooms, allowing a total of only 16 guests at the Lodge at any time.  Guests are accommodated in four Luxury and two Family Suites, all connected by wooden walkways, but separated from the next providing peace and privacy.

The Lodge has been designed in such a way that it can be divided into the Main Lodge and Little Tuningi which is ideal for families, intimate groups or VIPs in search of utter privacy.

The African chic style of the Main Lodge is carried through to the elegant suites, all furnished in timber with with soft, warm colours giving the rooms a comfortable organic feel.  The Suites have been carefully designed creating space by blending the interiors with the bush by utilising retractable windows doors wherever possible.

Each beautifully appointed spacious bedroom, with a comfortable lounge area, has its own gas fireplace that is lit (on the chilly nights) on your return from your evening game drives or when you retire to bed at night.  Air-conditioning and ceiling fans offer cool respite in the summer months.  The enormous bathrooms are a real treat at Tuningi, not only is there a fireplace, but an over sized bath with fabulous views and a private alfresco (outside) rock shower.

The private wrap around wooden decks on each of the suites offer the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the bush.

Family Suites:
Without compromising on luxury, Tuningi has not forgotten the specific needs of families, which is why the Lodge was carefully designed for families, and caters for children of all ages.

There are two Family Suites - one at the Main Lodge and the second forms part of Little Tuningi.

These Family Suites are not only perfect for families looking for extra space, but offer all the same comforts and finishes of the Luxury Suites. They are made-up of two en-suite double bedrooms, with pull-out couches, and are joined buy a dining area, kitchenette and a living room with an expansive timber deck from where the surrounding beauty can be appreciated.

Little Tuningi accommodates only 6 (six) guests in unsurpassed luxury with a designer kitchen, boma area, dinning room, lounge, wrap around wooden deck and private pool.

All rooms at Tuningi Safari Lodge and Little Tuningi have air conditioning, ceiling fans, gas fireplaces, en-suite bathrooms, beautifully appointed baths, outdoor rock showers and private wrap around wooden decks.
