”We have owned Phomola Manor since ‘92 and have witnessed it become part of The Greater Kruger. It initially served as a place for my family to be together in the nature which we all love dearly.
The name Phomola, was at a moment of deep conversation between two banded brothers, getting three sheets to the wind of course, thought off, thought through and decided that will be the name of our humble guest holiday home.” – Tom Venter
