The stay

Large private suites for a more indulgent Zululand safari

Thanda Safari Lodge has only nine suites, but each is unusually large and includes a private plunge pool. That makes it a strong choice for guests who want safari days balanced by substantial private space.

Who Thanda Safari Lodge suits

It suits couples and families who want a small lodge of nine suites, each with its own heated plunge pool. Children of all ages are welcome: from six they join game drives, ages three to six need a private vehicle at a surcharge, and under-threes stay at the lodge with child-minders available. Rates include all meals, two game drives a day, bush walks and selected local drinks.
