Thendele

Located in Royal Natal National Park, with a view of the Amphitheatre, this is the closest of the KZN Wildlife 'berg camps to the main Drakensberg escarpment.

Situated in one of the most picturesque settings in South Africa with a view of the world-famous "amphitheatre" from every chalet this is truly worth a visit, if only to experience the awesome beauty.

Thendele camp nestles below the brooding sandstone cliffs of Dooley among yellowwood forests and protea savannah where visitors can often hear the rumble of boulders in the Thukela river below after a fierce summer thunderstorm.

Home to the Bearded Vulture(Lammergeyer) and Black Eagle who often disport themselves for visitors in the thermals that rise above the Mont aux Sources plateau, the surounding valleys and ridges offer superb walks through an ever changing landscape with many upland birds and flowers.

The camp, which is split into upper and lower sections, consists of 26 comfortable self contained chalets that accommodate either two or four people each.

There are also two delightful 6 bed cottages and the luxurious Thendele Lodge with 3 en-suite bedrooms and other facilities in keeping with 5 star accommodation in its own special space well away from the main camp.

The cottages and the lodge each have their own cook who will prepare delicious meals from the provisions supplied by the visitors.

The camp shop has a wide range of curios and sells basic groceries and supplies for visitors convenience.
