In the heart of Zululand, a new life stirs amidst the rich traditions of a proud nation. T handa Private Game Reserve, set on 5,300 hectares of land, is situated 23 kilometers north of Hluhluwe in northern KwaZulu Natal in an area now called The Elephant Coast. This area of KwaZulu Natal has 21 different ecosystems. Sand forests, lakes, lagoons, wetlands and pristine stretches of beaches are home to many animals such as hippos, crocodiles, giant turtles and over 460 bird species. The nearby Greater St. Lucia Wetlands is South Africa's first declared world heritage site.
At Thanda Private Game Reserve, animal species have been reintroduced to re-establish the natural equilibrium. The Reserve proudly offers the 'Big 5' in a natural setting, which have been brought in over a two-year time period. Various day trips including the chance to see whales and sharks along the KZN coastline are also offered to show the best of KZN to both local & international visitors.
Let your dreams become reality; indulge your fantasies and experience ultimate luxury. Thanda, meaning 'love' in Zulu, boasts a main lodge and offers nine (9) luxury bush villas complete with private heated splash pools and private bomas. Artefacts made by local artists decorate the public areas in honour of the Zulu culture and craftsmanship. The main lodge offers guests a lounge, library, dining room, boma, dining deck, wine cellar, cigar bar, fully equipped business centre and viewing decks overlooking tranquil water features. Thanda's wellness centre offers a variety of therapies managed by qualified beauty therapists specialising in full body aromatherapy massage or healing reflexology, to name just a few of the therapies available.
Also available is a luxury tented camp comprising four (4) luxury tents with viewing decks, bathrooms and showers which give guests an opportunity to get closer to nature in style.
A traditional 'kraal' - The Vula Zulu Cultural Experience, is now the setting for guests to witness between fifty to one hundred Impis (traditional Zulu warriors) performing age-old dancing rites, as was done pre & post battle. The land has been rehabilitated to its original state - alien plants have been removed & flora indigenous to the area has been able to thrive.
