Unique Game Reserve in South Africa
Known to some as ‘simply paradise’, Khusela is unique. Developed as a private conservation reserve, some of South Africa’s most endangered, threatened and protected species are now free to roam safely without predators. The thatched South Africa luxury villa was designed by the internationally renowned architect Francois Thereon for the English owners and completed in 2006.The game reserve and villa is are now available as an exclusive letting to discerning guests who are looking for something more than a tourist game lodge or conventional villa for their South Africa luxury holiday.
Khusela offers a number of game viewing options. Our experienced staff will introduce you to the flora and fauna of the reserve by way of game drives and walks at times to suit you. Our Toyota Landcruiser has been equipped to accommodate guests for game drives, alternatively smaller groups can explore the reserve driving our two seater 4x4 Yamaha Rhinos - always a great hit with everyone! There are many walking trails varying in degrees of difficulty from the easy paths across the veldt to the steeper valley paths. Because there are no predators at Khusela guests are free to walk the trails and paths unaccompanied providing a unique 'African bush' experience not available in any of the Big Five reserves, or of course they can ask the ranger to accompany them. The game is very relaxed with people and this frequently provides close encounters with some of the animals, both on foot and from vehicles. Guests can accompany the ranger on his daily visits to our concealed camera traps which reveal the activities of the night - the honey badger was thought to be extinct in the area until we recorded them on our cameras!
Stone tools found at Khusela are evidence of occupation by early man.
Our staff will provide the highest level of friendly service to ensure your stay at Khusela is a treasured memory and one that will be remembered forever. Khusela is more than just a holiday, it is an experience.
