We spent a week at Thanda Lodge, our 4th visit (the previous one in 2019), and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanda's wildlife seems to be thriving – it seems to get better every time. We greatly enjoyed the company of our guide Tasia and tracker Derick as they expertly lined up some amazing wildlife encounters. Stars of the show were the elephants, lions and cheetahs, but there were many others, including 2 black rhinos. When we were there, the Reserve was fairly quiet, and with plenty of time we were able to stay watching and photographing/filming their behavior for as long as we wanted. The lodge remains one of our all time favorite places to stay. The rooms are fabulous - everyone gets an outdoor shower, plunge pool, sala, and private boma, as well as air conditioning for the open-plan sitting room (with log fire and included mini-bar), bedroom (comfortable, large four-poster with mosquito nets) shower area and bathroom, with great views across the reserve from inside and out. The lodge staff make the place even more special. The food was delicious and service excellent. Nothing is too much trouble, and everything is done with a smile. Great place. We will be back!
