Thanda Safari, a Big Five game reserve situated on 14 000 hectares in the heart of Zululand, KwaZulu Natal, offers an authentic South African wildlife encounter with excellent game-viewing all year round. Thanda (‘love’ in isiZulu) is the perfect place for holidaymakers to enjoy a distinctive African safari, and where parents can bring their children to experience and discover the Big Five and all the other creatures in the bush.



As part of its 15th ‘Safari for the Senses’ anniversary Thanda Safari takes great pleasure in launching its highly anticipated “Kids Stay Free” promotion:
- This “Kids Stay Free” offer – complimentary, all-inclusive stays for children under 16 years of age, sharing with two full paying adults – is only for any new bookings made for stays between 6 June and 31 August 2019, and only at the Thanda Safari Lodge (a maximum of two children sharing a suite with two full paying adults) and Thanda Tented Camp (only one child (between 6 and 16) sharing a tent with two full paying adults).
- The Thanda Safari Lodge has nine bush suites; each suite has its own plunge pool, game-viewing deck and private boma and the Thanda Tented Camp has 15 colonial safari-style canvas tents, each with its own viewing deck and en-suite bathroom.
T’s and C’s apply.
Please note: The end date for the Kids Stay Free promotion is 31 August 2019 and cannot be booked in conjunction with any other promotion.

There are various activities for families – Big Five game drives, specialised bush walks, photographic safaris and Zulu cultural tours into the rural community; and there are some just for kids – the Bucks & Bugs Club – where the kids can have the time of their lives; and the Ranger Course, where the kids spend time with an expert Thanda guide learning about game tracking, game spotting, spoor identification, different mammals, birds, trees, and even stars and, at the end, they receive a Junior Ranger Certificate from Thanda Safari. Special bush walks in the vicinity of the accommodation can also be arranged for younger children.
The Kids Stay Free promotion is just one of the wonderful specials that Thanda Safari will be offering throughout the year, in celebration of its 15th Birthday.
