Overview

Even if you've traveled the world, you're bound to be surprised by Thanda Private Game Reserve - a truly unique land where humans and nature harmoniously co-exist.

The rooms here are truly fabulous with roaring fires, outdoor showers, raised decks, private plunge pools, and walkways leading to private salas raised high above the bush.
In South Africa's northern Zululand lies Thanda Private Game Reserve, a property that recalls the film "Out of Africa" and living luxuriously in the outdoors. Thanda means "love" in Zulu, and Thanda Reserve was designed as an expression of the magical union of powerful Zulu culture, wildlife, romantic decadence, and exclusivity. Did the property's creators bring these lofty goals to fruition? Yes - and then some.

Choose from nine luxury bush villas and six colonial safari-style tented camps. The villas are romance incarnate, and if you opt to stay in one of the secluded safari-style camps, you'll feel like you're in a private world.

Embark upon a more authentic safari experience than those offered by other reserves, and see lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and more. Oh my. Or try diving with sharks at the nearby Indian Ocean - really.

In the mood for something a little less wild? Guided bush walking and the spa await.
