Thali Thali Game Lodge - featured in the Getaway Travel Blog. Under "20 affordable weekend getaways" Celebrate spring with a visit to the fynbos-coated Thali Thali Game Reserve. Just 110 kilometres from Cape Town, the reserve is home to giraffe, red hartebeest and various other animals. The small team of staff will make you feel right at home – even the resident ostrich will welcome you by pecking around your front door in the mornings. Luxury tents, perfect for a romantic break, are slightly removed from the entertainment area and have a kitchenette, electricity, hot water and flush toilets. Tents three and four boast particularly impressive views – make the most of these by getting up early to watch the sunrise from your private deck. Closer to the restaurant and pool, you’ll find equipped self-catering houses. These stone units are small, with low ceilings, but offer a cosy stay for a small family. Eat here The on-site restaurant offers a small range of burgers, salads and local delicacies. Do this Morning game drives are worth the early alarm call, but if you feel like sleeping in, arrange a mid-morning drive. Need to know The wind picks up in the afternoons, so the views from the restaurant’s outside area are best enjoyed before lunch. The same goes for game drives. Why we like it The reserve has more than enough hectares of fynbos to play backdrop to a weekend of romance or peaceful solitude. - See more at: blog.getaway.co.za/travel-ideas/affordable-weekend-getaways-cape-town/#comment-81221
