The camp is perched amid a grove of majestic trees that include Apple-leaf, Leadwood and Combretum, and sprawling ahead are the open savannah floodplains where the bird and animal life is abundant. It was these beautiful surroundings that were the inspiration for Tuludi. The camp itself is open and airy and no matter where you sit, be it the poolside deck, the lounge, or the surprise tree-top library, you are surrounded by the bush. The different guest spaces are unique and can be enjoyed quietly or interactively, depending on guest preferences.
Given the vastness of the landscape, the interiors at Tuludi needed to be bold and make a real statement. As a result, large pieces of striking, handcrafted furniture, designed and developed by interior designer Tracy Kelly, are dotted throughout the rooms and the main areas. Oversized swing chairs on the bedroom verandas allow guests to relax and enjoy the views, whilst the main bar, designed by artist award winning artist Sarah Pryke of Fragments of Africa, is one of the biggest talking points in the camp. Curved and delicately tiled with hundreds of coloured pieces, it tells a whimsical visual story of the reserve from the flora to the big cats to the bird life. The royal blue of the malachite kingfisher, the vibrant green of the grasses and fiery flashes of red and yellow are prominent in the mosaic and also weaved throughout the rest of the lodge in the cushions, the curtains and the fabrics. At the library, subtle, masculine colours were used to create a quiet space, hidden away amongst the treetops.
The bedrooms are spacious and tranquil. Each is a staggering 100 square metres, and all are adorned with bamboo linens, mosquito nets and Kiaat wooden fans. Handmade chandeliers featuring dip-dyed rings of high thorn and jacaranda wood hang from the roof. Original framed artworks by artist Sarah Kelly hang on the walls and each portrays the smaller creatures of the bush, be it dung beetles or hornbills. The cheerful pops of colour found in the main area are continued in the rooms, with bright scatter cushions by Ardmore, one of South- Africa’s most famous design studios. Well known for their playful, bold designs, their textiles feature leopards, monkeys and crocodiles. The patterns are the perfect choice for Tuludi and create a contemporary African feel that’s quirky, fun and a little bit cheeky.
