About the Hotel

The bold wilderness of Africa comes together with supreme luxury and romance at the highly awarded Thanda Private Game Reserve. This impressive South Africa resort is comprised of Thanda Safari Lodge with nine suites, as well as the separate Villa iZulu residence and 15 private game reserve tents including Jabula honeymoon tent. The suites are completely self-contained and spectacular in design, with circular structure and thatched game- viewing decks. Each abode is furnished with private outdoor splash pool, as well as indoor/outdoor showers and individual bomas for intimate dining experiences. Relish in the views of the surrounding game reserve, and stretch out in your more than 2,300 square feet of space. For a truly unique and authentic African adventure, the private game reserve tents provide an unforgettable time. Each of the 15 tents in the Thanda Tented Camp has its own canvas bathroom, accommodations are comfortable yet rustic, and there are only a few hours of electricity each day - truly integrating you into the bush and providing a completely hands-on nature experience.

Reviews for Thanda Safari

Thanda Guide and Tracker really stood out

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

Really nice stay at Thanda. The tracker (Thuba) and the guide (James) really stood out. Their enthusiasm were infectious. We really got lucky with them. They had tremendous knowledge of the wildlife and the birds. Food was delicious and got the trip to South Africa off to a great start.

Thanda Magic

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

From the moment we reserved our stay at Thanda, through Lara Soldat, we knew that we were in for a truly magical experience. We were met at the gate by our friendly guide, Martin, and his tracker, and transported to the main lodge, where we were welcomed by Siya and Lucky, both beaming with welcoming smiles and passion. The lodge, accommodation, spa, facilities, delectable cuisine and drinks were outstanding, but it is the friendly and courteous service, that stands out and makes this lodge a premier destination. Spending at least 7 hours in the day with our guide and tracker made this experience an adventure of a lifetime. The professionalism, passion, knowledge, excitement and commitment displayed, was absolutely outstanding and made this voyage of discovery, in the African bush, a never to be forgotten experience of memories and friendship. Thank you to all who made this possible!
