Reviews
Very welcoming staff. Nutritions meals. Exciting Game Drive 2 x daily. Relaxing! Lazy! Holiday
Staff are excellent and always ready to please.
Tent accommodation was a bit primitive and we feel that this could be improved especially considering the prices being charged.
Great service - great food and fantastic game drives :)
Very friendly staff - ranger and tracker (Evan and Musi) definitely went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and ensure that our stay, game drives and walks were 10/10 :)
The staff were most welcoming and professional in all their dealings. I thought the meals were excellent: varied, well-balanced and delicious. The presentation was superb!
It was of course a memorable experience to see the elephants up close and to see wild life in their natural habitat.
Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Game drives and meeting the herd of elephants a must.
Nice and friendly lodge, very suitable for families with friendly elephants and rhino's.
Small scale and family atmosphere, friendly staff, price - value balance.
Loved everything about Thula Thula. Game viewing outstanding, game rangers delightful and informative. Love its mission.
A dream come true. Loved it.
The staff and our rangers were excellent, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Being able to be so close to the elephants and rhino was an unbelievable experience, which I will forever remember.
Best game viewing ever - an absolutely delightful experience.
