Accommodation
The accommodation at Thali Thali consists of 8 units that were designed to create a unit with the entertainment area with bar facilities and an open-air lapa. The 8 units are made up of 3 West Coast Style self catering chalets and 5 B&B luxury en-suite tents. The big old farmhouse with 4 bedrooms is the latest addition to the line-up and is separate from all the others and ideal for families and groups. It has a massive fireplace in the kitchen and a wrap-around porch that lends it to lazy afternoons in the sun.

Game drives
We offer a choice of three open game viewing vehicles with different capacities to adapt to the needs of our guests. Our trained guides will take you on an informative 90 minute drive where you will have an excellent chance of spotting all our featured species. All game viewing is strictly non-smoking due to the high risk of fire in our fynbos habitat. No guests are allowed to go on game viewing excursions in their own vehicles. Cost: R200 for Adults; R100 for children.
Walking safaris
A must for all nature enthusiasts is the unguided fynbos walks. This affords guests the ultimate, close to the wild experience and a chance to focus on the smaller inhabitants including birds, insects and smaller animals. It also provides the opportunity to discover the interesting world of our fynbos, grasses and flowers. Please report to the front desk before embarking on your journey on foot. Also, please be aware of the possible danger of certain of the species, wear comfortable shoes and take water with you – walks are strictly at own risk.
Archery
From the novice to the seasoned archer – we have something to interest all. If you are new to the sport, book an archery lesson with our accredited coaches or visit our bow shop. If you are an old timer to the sport, come and enjoy our 3D archery course. The course simulates real life hunting situations and has 23 life sized 3D rubber animal targets. You can use your own bow or rent one from the shop. Lessons strictly by appointment – call Thys on 083 275 2825.
