Thula Thula Private Game Reserve

Zululand, KwaZulu Natal - www.thulathula.com

With its centuries of cultural and wildlife heritage, Thula Thula Private Game Lodge traces it's origin back to the private hunting grounds of King Shaka, founder of the Zulu Empire. Thula Thula pays tribute to its rich history, taking its name from the Zulu word “thula”, meaning peace and tranquility. Unique atmosphere, stylish décor, exclusive and personalised service makes Thula Thula a truly magnificent bush experience.

The Elephant Safari Lodge offers eight luxurious chalets elegantly decorated in a colonial style. Thula Thula is one of the most renowned gourmet destinations in KwaZulu-Natal, using a fusion of the most delicate fare combined with exotic flavours and enhanced with the finest South African wines. Rediscover nature in a style true to the African safari camp of a past era at the recently opened luxury tented camp, where the peaceful African bush surrounds you. Exclusivity is assured with only 8 luxury tents, all with private viewing decks and luxurious en-suite Victorian bathrooms. View wildlife from the swimming pool bar or relax in your tree suspended hammock overlooking the Enseleni River. Thula Thula is home to a diverse African wildlife population; the re-introduction of a family herd of elephant in August 1999 marks the historic return of these great creatures to the area for the first time in 100 years. Thula Thula is situated 2 hours from Durban and six hours from Johannesburg.
