The stay
Small scale, generous space
Tuningi keeps the lodge intentionally intimate: four Luxury Suites and two Family Suites accommodate no more than 16 guests. Every suite has its own deck and splash pool, so there is room to slow down between safari drives without retreating from the bush.
A particularly strong family option
The two Family Suites each provide two en-suite bedrooms and a central living area, while the six-plus age policy makes the lodge easy to position for families whose children are ready for a conventional safari rhythm.
