Your Guest Experience with TAHS-SA

When you choose TAHS-SA, you’re choosing more than accommodation. You’re joining a family, living in a village, and experiencing authentic African homestays that blend comfort with culture.

A Warm Village Welcome

Arrive to the sound of song, dance, or a simple smile. Each guest is matched with a host family who will make you feel part of their community from the very first moment. Staying with us means you’re not just a visitor — you’re family.

Comfortable Cultural Accommodation

Your room is simple, safe, and thoughtfully prepared. Every homestay comes with a “homestay kit” — clean bedding, towels, tea and coffee, and a welcome note. It’s the perfect mix of cultural accommodation in South Africa and modern comfort.
