Thanda Safari Lodge

More than a luxury lodge, more than a dream safari destination, more than an African escape. Thanda Safari offers an authentically South African wildlife experience, matched with sincere commitment to the Zulu culture and passionate conservation of the environment. Meaning 'love' in isiZulu, Thanda is a proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World and multiple winner of World's Leading Luxury Lodge. It is known for meaningful safari experiences and exclusive close-up encounters with Africa's magnificent Big Five.

Thanda Safari Lodge

An early morning or late afternoon safari is the best way to absorb the sights, smells and sounds of Africa. Encounter the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo) the animals that inspire a long-lasting connection with the continent. And, once you've found them, go looking for Africa's other famous five, the Little Five (elephant shrew, rhino beetle, leopard tortoise, ant lion and buffalo weaver). The lodges guides and trackers are experts in the circle of life, and how it spins both slowly and frenetically in the African bush. They will offer you wildlife lessons from their own cultures and knowledge. They will tell stories and share anecdotes. They will explain, inform, educate and then sit back and let you fall in love with the wild in your own way. With 14,000 hectares to explore, you'll see diverse wildlife including cheetah, hyena, warthog and the occasional wild dog, as well as abundant bird and plant life.
