Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal hotel rooms at the Independent

"."

"Our first time at Thanda and we loved it . The staff were all wonderful and could not do enough to help. Zeepo and Zee were the best guide and tracker we have ever had on safari . The spa treatments were great and the food , while not fine dining, was really tasty . Really lovely atmosphere and vibe around the place and supportive of the local Zulu communities . We wanted to go back in October but it seems to be fully booked for our dates 😢"

"Salle de bain étriquée , chambre et salon spacieux"

"This is an amazing spot in Hluhluwe. Very central but very quite. Definitely recommend if you want to explore some wild life around Hluhluwe "

"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do. Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs. I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."

"Very friendly, one off game reserve and lodge, very good value including a drive, all breakfasts and dinners, reasonable prices for drinks. Personal friendly service really makes a difference."

"Great overnight stay in a very peaceful setting. A last minute booking and the staff were great. Thank you"

"High-end service expectations met on all levels. Game drives were exceptional with very knowledgeable and customer driven guides. Facilities, while limited, were superb in every way. Very accommodating staff in all areas. Food in the dining room was gourmet level. "
