African bush veld hospitality near Rustenburg

Ever experienced a night in the African bush veld next to a campfire? Few things in life come close to the tranquility of an bushveld evening under the stars offered by Thaba Phuti Safari Lodge.

Listen to the sound of wild animals while you sip on sundowners on the private deck of your colonial styled room. Observe the wildlife activities around the waterhole or gaze upon the endless grasslands of the African bush veld.

Ruggedness is normally associated with any bushveld experience, but alas – a place so secluded and different exists that you would want to write romantic books about it. Nothing about your experience at the five star lodge, situated on a private game farm next to the Duikerbult game reserve, will be ordinary.
