About Villa iZulu.
VILLA IZULU
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.
Where is Villa iZulu located?
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, a Hemingway library, a cellar, and a 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 are dedicated to Villa iZulu guests.
