Thanda Private Game Reserve's Royal Private Villa was awarded "Africa's Leading Luxury Villa" and "South Africa's Leading Luxury Villa" at the World Travel Awards in 2010... the ultimate travel accolade!
Conceptualised and crafted for Swedish investor Dan Olofsson and his family, Thanda’s Royal Private Villa has now been made available to the public. Fit for royalty and surrounded by expanses of African bush, the Royal Private Villa can accommodate ten guests in five luxuriously appointed suites (three queens and two doubles).
The exclusive-use Royal Private Villa welcomes families and groups of friends to enjoy the luxury and privacy of this five star home-away-from-home. The Royal Private Villa was designed for a family and thus it has a range of facilities that will make a family stay enjoyable and fun but still luxurious and exclusive.
Encompassing 1000 m² of sheer unadulterated luxury, the Royal Private Villa is equipped with a private boma, library, cellar, business room with internet connectivity, games room, heated swimming pool and magnificent viewing deck looking out onto a waterhole often visited by the Big Five.
Reserving the villa as a unit will entitle family and friend groups to a private game-viewing vehicle and ranger, personal chef and masseuse. The first building to have been constructed at Thanda Private Game Reserve, the Royal Private Villa has accommodated some of the most popular local and international celebrities looking for an exclusive and private getaway over the last six years.
Enjoy exclusive use of the Royal Private Villa, which opens its doors to lead into a magnificent lounge filled with attractive Afro-chic décor with a piano and fireplace. A beautiful dining room is ideal for the family to gather in for a light snack or first class dinner prepared by your personal chef, who will cater for any dietary requirements. The fully equipped kitchen is state-of-the-art and meets professional standards.
The five richly decorated and spacious en-suite bedrooms are the pinnacle of luxury, each with its own viewing deck. The executive room has its own private outdoor Jacuzzi. Relief from hot summer days is provided by the air-conditioning and ceiling fans, while chilly winter nights are kept at bay beside the fireplace.
The Royal Private Villa provides top class personal service, a warm and hospitable African ambience and outstanding cuisine. Recline at the pool between game drives or spend the afternoon on your private deck.
