Back to the Bush in style

Great experience all round;- service, food, location, accommodation. Lots of animals close to the lodge, visible from the pool deck or seating area @ the watering hole. Make sure you have a beanie for the game drives. Can be quite chilly.

Wonderful, welcoming safari lodge - great with kids

We have had the most wonderful time at Thakadu this week. All staff were so gentle and welcoming to us and our (noisy) four kids. The food was cooked with love and care, and game drivers were excellent.

Very Special Experience!

Fantastic place to stay, great staff and amazing location! A very special experience. Game drives were wonderful and the knowledge of our ranger Billy, fantastic! Lucky to view lots of animals from the lodge including elephants bathing in the river ...

Fantastic trip

We had a wonderful trip. The rooms were comfortable and had all the amenities needed. Meals and service excellent. Game viewing excellent and ranger knowledgeable. Staff really went out of their way with meals and accommodating our two grandchildren under 5 years old

Thakadu Takes Care of Everything

It was raining when we arrived, and we were greeted with umbrellas and a warm lunch. The lodge is beautiful, and the food outstanding. Our rooms were tents, but they are much, much nicer than "glamping." They have full bathrooms and air conditioning. Our beds were turned down for us each night. On safari, we saw four of the big five game the very first night. The next day we watched lions eat a freshly killed zebra. We saw dozens of kinds of animals up close over the three days. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend Thakadu!
