Jumeirah has unveiled its first ventures in Africa with two luxurious destinations: Jumeirah Thanda Island in Tanzania and Jumeirah Thanda Safari in South Africa. Situated in the pristine Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve, Jumeirah Thanda Island epitomises exclusive-use luxury with its private villa, Swahili Bandas, and unforgettable experiences like swimming with whale sharks and sailing on traditional Dhows. Meanwhile, Jumeirah Thanda Safari promises adventure in one of South Africa’s most exclusive Big Five private reserves, blending opulent accommodations with untamed wilderness.
The island retreat combines barefoot luxury with environmental stewardship, featuring coral reef restoration projects and endangered sea turtle protection. Its culinary offerings reflect a commitment to local ingredients and bespoke dining experiences. At Jumeirah Thanda Safari, conservation efforts like Project Rhino KZN and cultural immersion programs highlight Jumeirah’s dedication to preserving local heritage while offering guests intimate connections with the African wilderness.
Both destinations showcase Jumeirah’s ethos of sustainability and meaningful travel. From Zulu-inspired cultural programs to advanced marine conservation efforts, Jumeirah’s African expansion blends opulence with purpose. Guests can expect breathtaking landscapes, rich wildlife encounters, and tailored experiences that redefine luxury.
With bookings opening December 2024, Jumeirah invites travellers to explore these African paradises, where nature, culture, and luxury coexist seamlessly.
