Attractions
Thula Thula, with its centuries of cultural and wildlife heritage, takes pride in tracing back its origin to the private hunting grounds of King Shaka, founder of the Zulu Empire. The first historic meeting between Shaka and his father (Senzangakhona), which set the stage for the creation of the Zulu nation, took place at the Nseleni River at Thula Thula.
Facilities
With only 7 luxury thatched chalets decorated in flavours of ethnic and colonial elegance, the "Elephant Safari Lodge" offers superb cuisine with as much privacy and comfort you could wish for. Candle lit dinners are served either in the dining room, around the pool, on the veranda, or in the Boma for a traditional bush barbecue under the African sky. Our walk-in wine cellar offers a great selection of superior Nederburg auction wines. Enjoy exotic cocktails at the "Marula Bar" or just relax in the lounge in the thatched lapa while viewing game at the waterhole.
