Welcome to Tindlovu
Tindlovu Group: A truly South African experience
Tindlovu Group is a modern and dynamic organisation founded in 2012 by Jo-Anne White. From our first restaurant at Mopani Camp in Kruger National Park, we have grown to 4 restaurants, a bush café, 2 curio shops, a spa, and a country lodge in White River.
Our current Kruger Park portfolio includes the restaurants in Letaba, Olifants and Berg en Dal, the Afsaal Picnic Spot, and the Baobab Spa by Tindlovu in Malelane. We have also expanded beyond the borders of the Kruger National Park with the opening of Savora in Camps Bay.
At Tindlovu Group, we go beyond exceptional dining and hospitality. We selflessly serve our communities, striving for excellence in all aspects. Our passion lies in caring for people, both our customers and our team members and communities. We prioritise their well-being and growth, creating a positive and inclusive work environment.
Join Tindlovu Group on our remarkable journey as we redefine hospitality, making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

Chris Papayannes
Group General Manager
“The philosophy during development was to freshen up familiar favourites, and also to showcase local flavours through current trends. The general consensus with South African food has always been that one can expect platters of meat and heavy stews – we wanted to reinvent this idea and show that local cuisine can be approachable and appealing to all palates.”
