Swap can be done with a stay in the game reserve combined with my beach appartment.
At Thula Thula private game reserve, the exchange is all inclusive of safaris and meals and luxury accommodation, where you will be guided by our professional game rangers to see wildlife and experience great encounters with elephant, rhino, hippo. leopard, buffalo and many more.
You can select a stay in our luxury Elephant safari Lodge or our luxury tented camp.
Both offer very high standard of service, cuisine, safari and accommodation. and you can choose to combine both for different kind of experience.
Thula Thula is the game reserve described in the international best selling book THE ELEPHANT WHISPERER written by Lawrence Anthony, my late husband, now translated into 14 languages.
Swap can be done anytime, apart from holidays season as Christmas or New year.
Umdloti beach is a beautiful little holiday and fisherman village situated 7 minutes from Durban airport and 7 minutes from large shopping centres. The apartment is situated right on the beach, on the Indian Ocean, with a large veranda with barbecue and a tropical garden. The apartment has got 3 bedrooms, with the main bedroom overlooking the sea, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, TV cable, wifi and the whole apartment is very bright, comfortable with a wonderful feel. Excellent restaurants on the beach, bars within walking distance, and a surfers paradise.
Great security in the building. One of the best apartment in the village. Shopping centers only 7 minutes away by car.
Perfect holidays in South Africa with beach and safari experience!
“Un très grand merci à Francoise pour les merveilleuses vacances qu'elle nous a permis de vivre au sein de sa magnifique réserve de Thula Thula en Afrique du sud tant sur le plan humain que sur l'émotion que nous avons ressenti en Famille auprès des éléphants tout particulièrement :):):).Un immense merci à Francoise pour toutes ses adorables et constantes attentions pour faire de notre voyage un moment inoubliable de nos vies .”
“This was my first swap and it was just super! Francoise is a wonderful person and communicated well with us prior to arriving. her staff were great and provided us with excellent and friendly service. We had a magical experience and would definitely do it again! ”
“Do yourself a favour people and should Françoise get in touch with you for a swap, do not hesitate a second. I am an experienced swapper, and this was among the best I had in many years. Françoise is an exceptional host, and her place in kwazulu natal is incredible. You will be pampered by her great staff and spend unforgettable days in contact with wildlife and nature. Hope for you that you are lucky enough to get picked!! ”
