Tum Tum is otherworldly! We were immersed in the magical jungle surrounded all sorts of birds and other animals. We watched from our deck as a young male elephant grazed through the grasses en route to the nearby watering hole.

Put Tum Tum and Imvelo Safaris on your bucket list. You won’t be disappointed.
Our stay at Tum Tum Treehouse Lodge, part of the Imvelo Safari group, was nothing short of magical. Nestled high among the trees, the lodge truly feels like a hidden paradise—peaceful, immersive, and completely connected to the surrounding wilderness.
One of the most unforgettable aspects was the abundance of wildlife right at our doorstep. With two nearby watering holes, elephants were a constant and awe-inspiring presence. Watching them gather, drink, and interact in such a natural setting was an experience we’ll never forget.
