Camp Details
When it comes to luxury villas on Big Five private game reserves, Thanda Safari’s Villa iZulu has been honoured with the most awards of any luxury, privately-owned villa in Africa by the World Travel Awards. This magnificent Afro-chic safari villa was initially built as a private getaway for Thanda Safari’s Swedish owners, the Olofsson family, who subsequently opened it to guests. It has a butler, chef and manager attending to guests’ every need.
Situated in the heart of this Big Five private game reserve, Villa iZulu has five luxurious bedrooms en suite, a large living and dining area, Hemingway library, cellar and gym. It is situated in a beautifully landscaped garden, securely fenced in from the surrounding reserve. The garden has a swimming pool, boma and observation terrace overlooking a water hole. It is the ideal safari retreat for visitors who want complete solitude, as well as for families and children, friends, and discreet gatherings. Villa iZulu has its own helicopter pad as well as separate quarters for childminders and VIP security officials. A safari vehicle, guide and tracker is dedicated to Villa iZulu guests.
WHY CHOOSE VILLA IZULU?
- Time spent in the bush is full of excitement, anticipation and wildlife wonder.
- Signature Spa treatments are a combination of western techniques and ancient Zulu holistic practices – learnt from traditional Zulu women, to massage, soothe and heal.
- Chefs are dedicated to each guest who dines at Thanda – creating thoughtful dishes that produce perfection for the palate.
- The Game Reserve is called Thanda for a reason. Meaning ‘love’ in isiZulu, it represents the heart and soul of passion; the spirit of togetherness and making it ideal for Weddings and Honeymoons.
