Thula Thula is a private wildlife reserve and hotel. Thula Thula means ‘peace’ in Zulu, the
language of a famous South African tribe. Thula Thula is in Kwazulu Natal province in South
Africa. This is where the Zulu tribe comes from.

The area is home to hundreds of species of animals, including rhinoceros, leopards, crocodiles
and giraffes. In 1999, the owner of Thula Thula, Lawrence Anthony, rescued a herd of seven
elephants and brought them to his wildlife reserve. Since then, the family has grown to 25 elephants!
The story of his experiences with the elephants is the subject of his book, The Elephant Whisperer.
The owners of Thula Thula adopted Thabo, a baby rhino, in 2009 when he was just a few days old.
He now lives on the wildlife reserve.

Guests stay in luxury tents with beds and showers. There are some outdoor showers too if you
don’t mind monkeys watching you from the trees! A lot of guests say the food is the best thing at
Thula Thula. Don’t forget to try a traditional African ‘braai’ (barbecue).

Local guides, who have a lot of knowledge about the area, take groups of guests on safaris. You
can also go on organized walks and learn about unusual plants that only grow in South Africa.

Thula Thula is open all year. In winter from April to August, the temperature is usually warm in
the day and cool at night. In summer from September to March, the days are hot and the nights are
warm.

Read the tips below. Then, answer questions 31 – 40.

A new form of bullying has emerged in recent years. Cyberbullying means the use of electronic
communication to bully a person, typcally by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening
nature.
Here are some smart precautions to protect yourself:

Make the most of privacy settings

Adjust your settings on social media so that only the people you select are
able to see your personal information and posts. It is important to check these
privacy settings frequently because sites sometimes change their policies
without alerting users.

Think before you post

Before posting an update or sending an image of yourself, consider if
it’s something you would want your parents, grandparents, and the
rest of the worlds to see. They can have unforeseen consequences.

Protect your password

Safeguard your password and other private information from prying eyes.
Never give out this information to anyone, even your best friend. You should
only share your passwords with your parents, if you must.

Never open unidentified messages

Never open messages (emails, text messages, Facebook messages, etc.) from
the people you don’t know, or from known bullies. Delete them without
reading. They could contain viruses that automatically infect your device if
opened.
