A Valentine’s Safari

Everyone dreams of romance, of that all encompassing love that completely consumes you. This type of romance deserves to be experienced in a place just as magical and engulfing as the love itself. I have discovered such a place, a place where romance is not promised but rather it is guaranteed. This place is on the continent of many emotions, it is the African bush.

And in the heart of this bush, lies Africa’s most romantic safari lodge. The sensual pulse of love runs through Thanda Private Game Reserve, it’s very name meaning ‘love’ in Zulu.

All the elements of a perfect romantic Valentine’s break are heightened several notches when at Thanda. Candlelit dinners with the moon rising over elephants grazing in front of your table, just outside the circle of candle glow. You can’t find accommodations more opulent than Thanda’s  private villas.

For a Valentine’s getaway, expect romantic turndowns that include a bath drawn for you, strewn with rose petals, champagne and chocolates. A bush retreat fosters romance and creates special memories (the very spirit of Africa is love). Walks and game drives among Big Five, evening sundowners sipped as game graze around you, Zulu cultural experiences, snuggling while monkeys scamper across your roof and the sounds of the African night will lull you to sleep.

One cannot imagine Africa without thinking of love. This continent has always epitomised man’s love story. It’s the land of explorers, of warriors and chiefs and uninhibited desire. Embrace the African romantic dream and be captivated by the romantic escapade of a lifetime. Once you have experienced the beauty and magic of a romantic weekend at Thanda,  you will want to return for many years to come.

There is nothing like the thrill, anticipation and heat of a first kiss with your beloved, and so is the sentiment of your first visit to this world of lovers. A seductive love affair awaits you at Thanda.

For a rampant and exotic romance, a stay at Thanda ensures luxury is elemental, the nightlife howls, and privacy is of the essence. You will breath in romance, whether you are enjoying your first days of marriage, rekindling the flame, going down on one knee or simply enjoying one another. Wrap yourself in romance this Valentine’s day at Thanda, the most obvious choice.
