The stay
A more traditional safari atmosphere inside Thanda
Thanda Tented Camp uses canvas-walled suites, lantern-lit paths and solar power to create a more classic safari feeling than the main lodge. Fourteen standard tents are joined by the larger Jabula Tent.
Who Thanda Tented Camp suits
It suits couples and families with children aged six and over who want a tented camp rather than a lodge: nine Twin Tents, five Double Tents and the Jabula Tent, which has a separate lounge and a splash pool. The camp runs on solar power with a backup generator, and has a pool in its central area.
