One of the most sublime affordable luxury destinations in South Africa

The Thaba Phuti Safari Lodge and private game farm is one of the most affordable luxury destinations in South Africa. The combination of world class service and colonial charm is only one of several facets of the lodge that attract so many guests to visit Thaba Phuti and keep returning to this attractive destination.

Adjacent to the renowned Duikerbult game reserve lie several hectares of unspoiled African bushveld on a private game farm, where Thaba Phuti is located. Secluded private five star suites with their own balconies, high on a cliff of a lonely hill just south of the Magalies mountain range, show guests why Thaba Phuti is known as one of the best and most affordable luxury destinations in South Africa.

Fantastic views of the waterholes and Magalies Meander offer guests the opportunity to forget about their busy work schedules and seduce them unto total relaxation. The rich birdlife of this area includes the Olive tree Warbler and the Kalahari Shrub-Robin. Should you wish to learn about the more than 150 bird species found in this part of the Magalies region, you can simply ask Hanno Langenhoven, one of the managers at the lodge known for his expertise on birding. Fabulous bird watching is however, not all that one of the superb affordable luxury destinations in South Africa has to offer.

Staying at the Thaba Phuti safari lodge also holds the secret to unique bush dining experiences. Guests can enjoy a true African bush picnic either at the Thaba Phuti lodge or at the Duikerbult game reserve where they are spoiled with gourmet meals while being surrounded by dreamlike African bush, which is all the more reason for taking a romantic vacation at one of the marvelous affordable luxury destinations in the Magalies region.

The diverse fauna and flora of the African bushveld can also be enjoyed through exciting open vehicle game drives, guided bushwalks, by horseback, or from the sky in one of a kind hot air balloon rides. Since we value each of our guest’s tastes, we endeavor to present you game viewing and safari experiences to suit your interests and taste at Thaba Phuti, the best of affordable luxury destinations in Southern Africa.

The white rhino, plains zebra, endangered leopard, eland, bushbuck, gemsbok, wild hare, warthog and several other animal species await you on your safari holiday. Although many affordable luxury destinations are available in the beautiful country of South Africa, none of them can quite match the unique combination of hospitality, style, comfort, luxury, game viewing options and beautiful surroundings of the Thaba Phuti Safari Lodge.

Located just 30 km from Rustenburg and 90 minutes from Pretoria, the secluded private game lodge has so much to offer its guests, that a lifetime spent at Thaba Phuti will still not be enough for our guests.

Nearby elephant rides can also be arranged. For the keen gun enthusiast, black gunpowder shooting to remember the American and colonial wars may be more interesting.

Fishermen will not be disappointed at the fishing facilities and dams stocked to the brim with carp, bass and kurper. For your convenience, bait and fishing gear is supplied.

All these activities can be enjoyed while you lodge at one of the finest affordable luxury destinations in the world. Scrumptious breakfasts, lunch and dinners are prepared by our acclaimed chefs, while you also have the choice of the best South African wine cultivars. The main restaurant offers scenic views of the Magalies Meander while the boma area soothes your senses with a combination of dancing campfire and starry nights. Sport lovers can watch rugby on the satellite TV in the Rhino bar and the romantic at heart cuddle in front of the fireplace in the lounge.

As if not enough, knowing that an oval crystal pool awaits you after a long hike together with a full serviced room for tired feet, will bring you back from your bush walks just to come and relax at Thaba Phuti Safari Lodge.
