Thanda Private Game Reserve on Top of the World

This award is testament to the dedication and hard work that Thanda have committed to over the years, ensuring the highest levels of achievement, not only in terms of hospitality but also in social and corporate responsibility efforts. To be recognised as the ‘World’s Leading Luxury Lodge’ three years in a row is something that Thanda accepts with tremendous pride and it proves that all the effort to excel in luxury and exclusivity is being accomplished.

The grand final is the culmination of a year of global regional award events in search of the world’s finest hospitality products. This means that winning at this event is a huge privilege, which makes me very proud of Thanda''s amazing staff who go the extra mile and make the difference every time.

Judging from the packed and diverse turnout of top hospitality and tourism brands from around the world at this prestigious gala dinner, the World Travel Awards continue to make their mark as one of the most sought after awards in the world.

I am delighted that Zululand in South Africa can feature amongst the best of the best in the world. Well done Team Thanda!"
