A Fantastic South African Experience
Thanda Safari based in Northern KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, is all about the wilderness and wildlife with a lot of Zulu culture added too.
This 14,000-hectare reserve awakens your senses as you observe the big 5 at close quarters. Thanda Game Reserve offers exclusive wildlife viewing with expert guides and trackers, allowing you an intimate glimpse into the behaviour of some of Africa’s icon wildlife. You can get up close and personal with the African bush on foot too.
Thanda in isiZulu means ‘love’. Thanda Safari began as a vision of its founder and owner, Swedish entrepreneur, Dan Olofsson, who had an overwhelming desire to be a part of Africa. In 2000 Olofsson founded the Thanda Group in order to preserve this special piece of African wildlife. Today, the Thanda Group offers conservation initiatives, community programmes and wonderful hospitality.
