Deep in the heart of Zululand, South Africa, Jumeirah Thanda Safari offers a rare chance to step away from the rush of modern life and return to nature in its purest form. Surrounded by golden savannas and rich wildlife, this private game reserve invites travelers to explore, reflect, and reconnect with the wild. It is more than a luxury escape. It is a story written by the land, one sunrise at a time.

A Journey with the Big Five

A Journey with the Big Five

Every morning begins under warm African skies with the sound of the bush all around. Game drives here are not just scenic rides. They are thrilling encounters with lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and leopards in their natural habitat. Guided by expert rangers, guests learn to read the land, follow tracks, and witness raw nature in motion.

More Than a Safari

Beyond the game drives, Jumeirah Thanda offers walking safaris, where every rustle of the grass brings a new sense of wonder. Guests can also take part in hands-on rhino conservation and get a closer look at efforts to protect endangered species. This is where adventure meets purpose.
