Thohoyandou ~ The head of the elephant.

Thohoyandou is a small city that was built as the former capital of Venda's homeland, located in the Vhembe region of the Limpopo province, and most visitors agree that it has much to offer holidaymakers, from stunning green landscapes boasting mountains, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls to the ancient myths and histories of the people who have lived here for centuries.

STYLE GUEST HOUSE is a charming retreat in the heart of Thohoyandou. The guest house is located directly behind the town's beautiful botanical garden, secluded from the bustling town and busy lifestyle. Style guest house has beautiful relaxing rooms as well as activities and facilities for day visits.

Amazing!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: WildChoices launches a website to assist the tourism industry and visitors alike to make more informed and ethical choices about captive wildlife tourism facilities in South Africa.

Visit website: www.wildchoices.org

WildChoices applied the
SATSA Captive Wildlife Attractions & Activities Guidelines and Decision Tool to assess 219 captive wildlife tourism facilities in South Africa, based on publicly available information. Application of SATSA’s 6-step decision tree creates one of three outcomes: Support, Support with Caution and Avoid.

“Our assessment outcomes are mapped and delivered in a directory, searchable by multiple criteria, such as name, province, and result. This makes it easy for people who don’t have the time, expertise, or confidence to apply the tool themselves,” explains Gavin Reynolds (one of WildChoices Founders).

“We believe that we can make a meaningful impact on the quality of moral decision-making by tourism companies, tourists and facilities themselves and, in so doing, contribute to enhancing the country’s reputation as the choice destination for ethical wildlife tourism.”

The Blood Lions team is excited to see the SATSA guidelines applied and translated into a user-friendly online tool, and we commend the WildChoices team on their efforts.

The SATSA tool is a great starting point to separate the good from the bad and the ugly. However, a lot has happened since the launch of the SATSA guidelines in 2019, including the publication of the HLP report and Minister Creecy’s intent to close the captive lion industry.

Hence, the proverbial line in the sand now needs to be moved, as was always SATSA’s intention, and this work by WildChoices can assist in the process going forward.”
