Hi! We’re Thies and Birgit, born and raised in Amsterdam. We fell in love with South Africa 13 years ago, and it has truly captured our hearts ever since. Over the years, we’ve built a small collection of luxury safari villas in both the southern Kruger Park area and Hluhluwe, each designed to let guests experience the magic of the bush in comfort and style. Hosting has become a joyful part of our lives, and we hope to keep doing it for many years to come. We’d love to welcome you soon!
