Khula's Cottage

Limpopo


Inside the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, Khula's Cottage has two twin rooms, a double room and a fine terrace overlooking the semi-wild surrounds. It's comfortably rustic rather than luxurious and a terrific option for groups, especially birdwatchers. Meals can be arranged with advance notice for those who don't wish to self-cater.
