South Africa - 5-day Thanda Combination Safari - Private accommodated

Thanda Safari is a Big 5 private game reserve offering three very different properties, each with its own style, atmosphere and appeal.

Thanda Tented Camp, with its 14 grand tents and 1 grande deluxe tent, offers a truly relaxed and authentic safari experience.
It comprises 14 spacious tents, each with a private sun deck and en-suite canvas bathroom. In addition, the 15th tent, the Jabula Tent, is particularly suited to bridal couples, honeymooners, families and those seeking extra beautiful accommodation for special occasions.

The camp is non-electrified, however, it does have limited solar and battery power with a back-up generator to power the tents for a few hours each day for guests to charge cameras and phones. As a deterrent to wild animals, there is a partial electrified fence along the perimeter of Thanda Tented Camp. Wifi is available in the public areas.

The camp’s shared areas include a reception area, a curio shop, a Hemingway-style lounge area, a dining area featuring authentic African curios, a large rim-flow pool surrounded by loungers and umbrellas, a waterhole to entice large and small game and a boma.

Thanda Tented Camp does not admit children under 6 years old.
