Intaba Thulile,peaceful mountain, is a 450 hectare private game farm within the Magaliesburg Nature Conservancy.
As it is within easy access to Johannesburg approximately 80 km west and some 90 km from Pretoria,it is a perfect distance forgetaway weekend for those seeking refuge from the rigors of urban stress.
The rolling savannah grassland plain, pristine bush, and the distinctive suikerbos and kiepersol tress are guarded over by the imposing amber cliffs of the mountain. With its abundant birdlife, and variety of trees, ferns, flowers and grasses, the reserve is a delight for birdwatchers and botanists.
It is a paintbox of colours: greens of every hue; reds, yellows, whites, blues and pinks of the many flowers. With a variety of buck as well as warthog, jackal, ostriches, and a pair of gorgeous, graceful giraffe, game viewers will not be disappointed.
We offer self-catering accommodation in lovely wooden chalets set amongst the trees and with stunning views of the mountain.
Simply relax on the comfortable deck and bask in the peace while you listen to the sounds of natureand gaze upon the unforgettable views; oractively explore the ancient kloofs, the cliffs, the crevices,and the extraordinary rock formations. We offer hiking, walking, mountain biking, swimming, game viewingand horse riding.
"loved the whole set up from the chalet, but a indoor braai for rainy days and a jacuzzi would definately make this destination a permanent holiday destination!!!!! the path to the chalets definately needs major improvements"
"We have enjoyed every moment at Intaba Thulile. The place is quiet and conducive. The place is clean and Joane reponded to every question we had. Was also pro-active by telling to bring every we might need as the shops are bit far."
"the serenity ,the host was helpful , the only negative thing is the 4km gravel road leading to the farm you need a SUV and if we can have swings if you have kids"
