The Thanda Safari Private Game Reserve located in South Africa, Kwa Zulu Natal has been synonymous with setting standards and is recognised as a leader in luxury accommodation. Thanda is derived from the isiZulu word “love” and the reserve truly embraces this philosophy by illustrating its love for nature & wildlife.

Being surrounded by Zulu culture and mannerisms, Thanda Safari Private Game Reserve has drawn inspiration for cuisine, décor & architecture from this. There is a constant contribution to the community and sustainment of the people of Thanda through initiates such as the Vula Zulu Cultural Experience which is an African theatre performance by previously unemployed Zulu men and women.

The game experience in the Thanda reserve is exceptional with the presence of Elephant, Lion, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard it is a Big 5 destination. Other animals that form part of the reserve are, Wild Dog, Cheetah, Hyena, Warthog & plains game as well as an abundance of bird life.

The balmy year round climate of the Elephant Coast and the wealth of local attractions including diving and snorkelling, create a utopian South African holiday destination.
