Thanda Safari – that great 5-star private game reserve in KwaZulu-Natal which puts a great emphasis on conservation, community upliftment and is the perfect place for holidaymakers and families to experience and discover the Big Five and all the other creatures in the bush – is still moving in its new direction and has another ‘weekend with a difference’ planned for April.

Thanda Safari invites you to Run Wild – feel the pulse of Africa beneath your feet while enjoying a weekend of running (or walking in the bush), game drives and good company. On Saturday 24th April, guests can either participate in the 5km (walk/run) or 8km (run) on the savannah under the watchful eye of Thanda’s Anti-Poaching unit.

The RUN WILD Weekend will take place from Friday 23 – Sunday 25 April 2021.

This exciting and exhilarating running or walking experience will give participants the chance to explore the vast open spaces, the magnificent terrain, and the wildlife of Thanda Safari set in the northern reaches of Zululand, KwaZulu Natal where the Great Rift Valley meets the Lebombo Mountains.
