My girlfriend and I stayed at the Thunda Lodge at the end of June and though we only stayed one night it was of the most memorable moments we have spent together. We were stunned that we had our very own Villa in the middle of the wonder of a game reserve. I still reminisce about the two of us... more

I have stayed at some of the nicest hotels in the world, and nothing comes close to Thanda. We spent two nights in the tented camp and then 3 nights in the villa's (we stayed an extra night because we couldn't bring ourselves to check-out!). The resort itself is out of this world. The tents feel like they are in... more

The lodge itself is located in a 7000 hectare game reserve, which is in the plan of expanding and becoming bigger. The main... more

Thanda is a special place. The staff are wonderful and try and give you a experience you will never forget. The rooms at the lodge are excellent. They however need some extra attention as they are getting tired, at least our room was. We had to ask the manager to repair some problems, which they did right away. The game... more

My mother and I had been on a safari before in the Kwazulu-Natal province of South Africa and we knew we wanted to return to this beautiful area. Our family had decided to spend Christmas week at a Game Reserve on Safari. It would be my sister and 8 year old neice's first time in South Africa and on safari.... more
