A beautiful thatched abode filled with all the amenities & creature comforts imaginable, surrounded by a lush private garden. And if you’re wanting to visit the Kruger, it’s literally a few minutes from the gate.

Adrienne was a fabulous host and Thula Moya exceeded all expectations! We had an absolutely wonderful stay, the place was gorgeous and very well equipped. We had no trouble finding it and felt completely at home as soon as we walked in. Adrienne was very detailed with the check in process, safety features, amenities, and local recommendations. We will gladly stay there again and are currently working on plans for our next trip! Thank you so much for giving us the best SA Airbnb experience!

I arrived and managed to find the place quite easily. Adrienne was quick to respond, let us in and show us all the amenities available, as well as what we could do while here! The house was very clean, with everything you could possibly need for a comfy stay. There’s a fully kitted-out kitchen, with coffee machine, washing machine and dishwasher, which was a lifesaver! Limpopo is very warm, so the fans and aircons helped keep us cooler, especially in the evenings when trying to sleep. The garden is stunning with many birds. Perfect for the bird watcher! The Kruger Gate is only about a 5 minute drive away, which is excellent for going to the park in the early morning. There’s also plenty of other places nearby to go visit. This Airbnb is perfect for a long term stay and we look forward to coming back!
