Tented Camp

Wild, yet gentle; rugged, yet refined; Thanda Private Game Reserve offers a select few a luxurious escape into nature. Situated on the slope of a hill, the tents have spectacular views of the reserve, and offer guests an authentic bush experience. The camp has no electricity, and guests can opt to have their meals in the dining tent or around the boma fire.

Without compromising luxury or service, the tented camp offers guests an opportunity to get closer to nature in style. Each of the four luxury tents has a viewing deck, and a spacious bathroom with a shower.

Dining

In the coolness of the night, dine on tender delicacies to the echoing sounds of triumphant creatures feasting. Our dedicated and professional chefs will skilfully prepare an exquisite variation of Western and traditional Zulu cuisine.

And you choose where you would prefer to savour the masterpieces that will be presented to you: in front of a roaring fire in the dining room in winter, under sparkling skies on clear nights in the boma or in the bush, or for a more romantic or private option, in your own secluded private boma or terrace. Guests staying at the tented camp can partake in their meals at the dining tent, or at the dining facilities at the main lodge.
