We are regular visitors at Thanda, we have been for romantic getaways, as well as with family and friends. Apart from the best luxury bush experience, it waws my first choice for a wedding venue - and my dream was fulfilled a few weeks ago! Every experience, and of course more so our wedding weekend in April, has been nothing... More

I had my wedding at Thanda, everything from the accommodation to the fantastic staff was exceptional , truly an amazing experience , nothing was to much effort , the well informed rangers and staff really make Thanda such a magical place, I would highly recommend Thanda as your first choice game reserve. I hope to return soon, Love Sian and... More

From the time we set foot on Thanda we were greeted by friendly smiling staff. Every staff member went out of their way to make our experience special and great and they far exceeded our expectations. You have to know that alot of the staff are from the local Zulu tribes and are learning hospitality training and I feel whatever... More

We just got back from 4 days at Thanda game reserve and had a wonderful time. The best thing about this place is the people, next is the accomodations on the reserve. You don't have to feel like it's 'roughing it' to go on safari here. We stayed in the villa suites, but the luxury tents are being upgraded and... More

Great food, luxurious accommodation, awesome safari guides... What more can I say, I loved this place. Even staying in a 'tent' is a luxury :) We saw 4 of the big 5, what more could I ask for? More

This place is amazing - first class service at your every whim. On arrival within the first hour we saw rhinos and a leopard and then we were upgraded from the tented camp to a huge luxury villa at no extra charge. The food was exotic (locally sourced!) and well cooked. Our guide was extremely experienced and knowledgable having previously... More

I find it difficult to believe that anyone could complain about the ambiance and the staff at Thanda. Our party of 4 stayed at the sometime as the negative review (see AlexOxford 12th Jan 2012). We can not speak highly enough about the consistently high levels of service we received during our 2 night stay. Our Game Guide and Spotter... More

We cannot believe that we stopped at the same reserve as AlexOxford at the same time. We were there with two friends from the 13th January 2012 for two nights. We loved every minute of it and found the people delightful. They could not do enough for us. In fact we wished we had booked longer. Far from being 'not... More

There is no doubt that the villas at Thanda are outstanding, and the food is good.. but sadly from there on it is all downhill. A resort is worth nothing if the ambience is not right and it is most definately not right here. The staff are somehow "not connected" to the place, you get no sense that they are... More
