THANDULULA LUXURY SAFARI TENTS
Thandulula is a brainchild of Hans, my husband and myself and we are extremely proud to present this establishment to the hospitality industry. Thandulula was established in 2003 as a child and family friendly holiday destination. The name Thandulula which means “UNWIND” was eventually found in a small English/Zulu pocket dictionary in the late hours of one April night in 2003. It is owner built with great care, constant planning, engaging with all local authorities. Environmental input was sourced, no trees were disturbed or un-rooted therefore, guests often refer to our tents as “the tree house by the sea”. Thandulula is owner operated. Personal welcoming of guests, warm-hearted friendliness, great attention to detail, stylish furnishing with a romantic twist, spotlessly clean units, flowing lawns and well-kept gardens contributed to Thandulula’s SUPERIOR grading by AA Travel – a well-deserved award which keeps us on our toes at all times.
