UKUTULA...
a family-run project dedicated
to education and research
Situated approximately 20 km north of Brits in
the North West province is “Ukutula”, a lion
centre dedicated to education, research and
conservation. “Ukutula” means “place of quiet” and is
the ideal setting for game and guests alike.
Ukutula is a family-run project which concentrates
on education and research. Owners Willi and Gillian
Jacobs have, over the past four years, managed
to reform the farm from a hunting venue to the
establishment it is today.
Ukutula says it has much to offer which includes:
• Daily tours of the lion enclosures and personal inter-
action with cubs. Bottle feeding and cuddling the
cubs will not leave your emotions untouched.
• Tasty refreshments are served prior to or after the
tour.
• A tour can be supplemented by a game view drive
on quad bikes, safari vehicle or on horseback.
• The farm is home to several antelope species,
giraffe, zebra, ostriches and warthogs.
• Should one decide to overnight, attractive thatched
bungalows are available in various sizes.
• Families are welcome to make use of the two
swimming pools and the jacuzzi.
