Thuhlo Lodge is uniquely situated within a secure wildlife estate. A variety of mammal species including giraffe, kudu, wildebeest, zebra, warthog and grey duiker are abound and roam free within the estate. It is a typical bushveld environment where one can safely explore the estate on foot or mountain bicycle on the many well kept single trail paths found throughout the estate or you can go for a leisurely game viewing experience on the self drive route within the estate. There are several dams and waterholes located on the estate with bird hides and fishing on a catch and release basis is permitted at one of the dams. We have a boma where you can enjoy the African night sky around the fire while having a braai/bbq and a swimming pool to keep you cool on the hot summer days.
