How They Dazzle Us

Exploring Thanda, be it on the back of a safari vehicle or walking through the bush on foot, is an incredible experience. It is not for nothing that Thanda Safari Lodge has been named as one of the world’s leading safari destinations on several occasions. The best time to explore these 14,000 hectares of paradise is early morning or at sunset. Led by one of the resident experts of the African bush, you will see an incredible range of animals, including cheetahs, hyaenas, giraffes, warthogs and abundant bird and plant life – not to mention the Big Five. Guided walks through the bush are completely thrilling experiences and the guides and trackers will share their extensive knowledge and animal tracking ability with you, as well as ancient Zulu stories of the wild. If you want to get ‘dangerously’ close to wild animals, this is the way to do it.

Why We Love Them

The word ‘thanda’ means ‘love’ in the language of the local Zulu people, and it is not for nothing that the team behind this incredible Landing chose Thanda as their name. Quite simply Thanda Safari lives this ethos in the management of their 14 000-hectare reserve, its three unique properties, and its community partnerships. This is not a chore or an obligation, it is not even work, Thanda Safari Lodge and its associated programmes are an act of love and it shows. It is inspiring. The fact that the accommodation is world class and that the game viewing and birding are next level just makes it all the more special.

Their Sustainable Superpower

The neighbouring communities, many of whose members are employed on Thanda, are partners in conservation, employment, skills development, career advancement and community educational initiatives.
