Thula - Accommodation in
Empangeni Environs, KwaZulu-Natal, 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. Family owned and operated, Thula Thula,
the oldest private Game Reserve in KwaZulu Natal is administered to the
highest ethical standards, in keeping with modern conservation methods
for the protection and enhancement of its indigenous and endangered
species.

Thula is home to a diverse African wildlife population, including
elephant, rhinoceros, leopard, giraffe, zebra, nyala, hyenas,
crocodile, kudu, wildebeest and a spectacular variety of other
indigenous species, great and small. The re-introduction of a
family herd of elephant in August 1999 marks the historic return of
these great creatures to the area for the first time in 100 years. The
fences between Thula Thula and the Umfolozi Game Reserve are soon to
be taken down, making Thula Thula part of the largest game reserve in
KwaZulu Natal. Lion, hyena and many other species of mammals
will roam freely between the two parks. Game walks are guided by
experienced trackers. Game drives are conducted in open landrovers by
our professional rangers
