Tours & Adventures
Discover our handpicked tours and activities, designed to bring you closer to Africa’s wild nature. Each experience has been carefully selected to offer authentic encounters with the wildlife and landscapes surrounding THULA.
KRUGER NATIONAL PARK
Experience one of the world’s most iconic safari destinations in the heart of South Africa. Kruger National Park offers extraordinary wildlife and vast landscapes, where you can experience nature up close – just as it was meant to be.
Join a morning drive in the soft morning light, when the animals are at their most active, or experience the unique atmosphere of a night drive as darkness falls and the African wilderness comes alive.
For the full experience, we offer full-day safaris in open vehicles with experienced guides who know every corner of the park. Here, you may encounter everything from elephants and giraffes to the Big Five in their natural surroundings. Every safari is unique and follows the rhythm of nature – it is not only about seeing the animals, but about experiencing the silence, the sounds and the extraordinary sense of peace found here.
A visit to Kruger National Park is more than a day trip – it is a memory that will stay with you for a lifetime.
TZANEEN PREDATOR PARK
Experience some of Africa’s most fascinating predators up close at Tzaneen Predator Park. Here, you have a unique opportunity to get closer to animals such as lions, tigers and other predators while learning about their behaviour, habitats and important role in nature.
The park focuses on education and conservation, offering a different kind of wildlife experience in a safe environment. You will have the opportunity to observe the animals at close range and hear the stories behind them – an experience that provides a rare insight into a world we normally only see from a distance.
A visit to Tzaneen Predator Park is exciting, educational and a unique way to experience Africa’s remarkable wildlife.
PANORAMA TOUR
Experience the spectacular Panorama Route through the Drakensberg Mountains, home to some of South Africa’s most beautiful scenery and natural wonders. The tour includes stops at the impressive Lisbon and Berlin Falls as well as the remarkable Bourke’s Luck Potholes.
At God’s Window, the landscape opens up to breathtaking views across the endless lowveld – a sight that truly lives up to its name.
Along the way, we visit the charming town of Graskop, where we enjoy lunch at the popular Harrie’s Pancakes before continuing with a visit to a local silk farm.
A perfect day filled with magnificent scenery, local experiences and unforgettable views.
4X4 ATV SAFARI
Experience the wilderness from a completely different perspective on a guided 4x4 ATV safari in Big Five Nature Reserve. Travel freely through the landscape and get close to the wild nature – often in areas you would not experience on a traditional safari.
Along the way, there are excellent opportunities to encounter elephants, rhinos and other wildlife in their natural surroundings. There will be time to stop, take photos and simply enjoy the moment without being restricted by the pace of a larger group.
During the tour, we stop at a viewpoint offering panoramic views across the surrounding landscape. On a clear day, you can see up to 50 kilometres across the savannah, where nature stretches as far as the eye can see.
The combination of freedom, adventure and closeness to nature makes this an exciting and unforgettable experience – perfect for those looking to add a little extra adventure to their stay.
TSHUKUDU Bush Camp
Visit Tshukudu Bush Camp for a truly unique and intimate experience in the South African wilderness. Guests are often welcomed by their tame cheetah, Djuma, who roams freely around the property and may even join you during your stay.
Join a guided morning walk in the Big Five area, accompanied by an experienced armed ranger. Along the way, you will learn to recognise animal tracks, discover the smaller details of the bush and notice the subtle signs that are easily missed from a vehicle.
This is an intense and extraordinary way to experience nature – not from inside a vehicle, but on foot, where all your senses come alive. The combination of wild landscapes, close encounters with wildlife and the guide’s knowledge creates an experience that feels both authentic and unforgettable.
Tshukudu is for those looking for something beyond the classic safari – an experience where nature comes remarkably close.
BOAT CRUISE ON THE OLIFANTS RIVER
Experience Africa’s wilderness from a completely new perspective on a scenic cruise along the iconic Olifants River. The tour begins at a viewpoint offering impressive views across the surrounding landscape before heading down towards the river.
From here, enjoy an approximately three-hour cruise through one of the region’s richest wildlife areas, surrounded by Klaserie Game Reserve and Balule Nature Reserve – both part of the Greater Kruger National Park. From the water, you can experience a sense of peace and connection with nature, while wildlife often comes remarkably close to the river.
Along the way, there are excellent opportunities to spot elephants, hippos, crocodiles and a rich variety of birdlife as you glide quietly through the landscape. The gentle movement of the boat creates a very special atmosphere, allowing the sounds and surroundings of the wilderness to take centre stage.
A peaceful and unforgettable experience combining scenery, wildlife and tranquillity – and the perfect contrast to a more action-packed safari.
JESSICA THE HIPPO
Experience one of South Africa’s most unique and personal wildlife encounters with the famous Jessica the Hippo. Your visit begins with an introduction to her remarkable story from her owner, a former Kruger National Park ranger, who shares what makes Jessica and their extraordinary bond so special.
You will then meet Jessica in her natural surroundings by the river, where she moves freely. You may have the opportunity to get remarkably close, feed her and experience her calm and curious nature – a side of hippos that very few people ever get to see.
Jessica is known for her trust in people and her love of Rooibos tea, which you may even have the opportunity to give her yourself. It creates a rare connection and makes the experience both personal and memorable.
Standing just a few metres from such a large and normally shy animal is an experience you will not soon forget. It is a rare opportunity to encounter wildlife in an intimate and respectful way – and a highlight for many visitors.
3,800-YEAR-OLD BAOBAB TREE
Oplev et af naturens mest imponerende vidundere – et op mod 3.800 år gammelt baobabtræ, der har stået som et levende monument gennem årtusinder. Træet er ikke bare enormt i størrelse, men også fyldt med historie og fortællinger fra generationer, der har levet omkring det.
Det helt særlige ved dette træ er, at I faktisk kan kravle ind i stammen. Inde i træet åbner der sig et hulrum, som giver en helt unik oplevelse af at stå inde i et levende træ, der er ældre end de fleste civilisationer.
I får mulighed for at udforske træet helt tæt på og høre de spændende historier, der knytter sig til det – både lokale fortællinger og fakta om dets betydning i området.
Et besøg ved baobabtræet er ikke bare en seværdighed – det er en oplevelse, der giver perspektiv og efterlader et varigt indtryk af Afrikas vilde og tidløse natur.
