With roots tracing back to the private hunting grounds of King Shaka, the founder of the Zulu Empire, the lodge is deeply embedded in the history and tradition of the region. The name “Thula” comes from the Zulu word meaning peace and tranquillity, reflecting the serene atmosphere of the lodge and its surroundings.
