ACTIVITIES
Entertainment
- Game Viewing
Thanda Private Game Reserve aims to restore nature's balance by reintroducing species endemic to the area, as well as the 'Big Five'. The rehabilitated land has encouraged the bird and wildlife to flourish, and has assisted in the re-establishment of the natural ecosystem. Game drives in the open game viewing vehicles and bush walks guided by knowledgeable and experienced game rangers and trackers afford guests a better understanding and appreciation of the wild heritage. The private game reserve is part of an ongoing game rehabilitation programme that will ensure the long-term sustainment of wildlife. It is the first privately owned game reserve in KwaZulu-Natal to introduce a breeding pack of wild dog, complementing the 'Big Five' experience.
