Ukuthula means Quietness
It is the name of the mythical creature,welcoming guests to La Lechere Guesthouse. Half Oryx, half Feline, it travelled all the way from Mali, carrying a lifetime of knowledge, wisdom and experience from across the African continent.
Now it found a new home in Phalaborwa. Ukuthula is on your side when you explore the spirit of Africa and meet the world.
