Thanda Tented Camp
Immerse yourself in nature
A luxurious colonial-style tented camp for a back-to-nature adventure.
This tented safari camp is the perfect location for an authentic but comfortable safari experience. You’ll discover a rustic colonial luxury inside the canvased exteriors, with each featuring a four-poster bed, generous en-suite, and a private decking area with spectacular views. For authenticity, the camp is non-electrified, but for a few hours each day, a backup generator will allow you to charge any electrical essentials. Shared areas include the bar and open-air boma, but we really love the large outdoor pool, which overlooks a stunning view of the surrounding reserve.
Why we love Thanda Tented Camp
-
Take a bush walk with a Zulu guide who will not only show you the smaller species but teach you about their culture
-
Each tent enjoys a wood panelled deck overlooking the rolling forest canopy alive with the sounds of wildlife
-
You can join the conservationists in tracking and monitoring the Big Five
-
The Jabula Tent is perfect for honeymooners with ample space and a private splash pool
Facilities
Meals are served in the open-air lounge, South-African style. Expect slow-cooked potjiekos enhanced with herbs grown at the camp.
