This adventure that is the Thanda Group started with the grand vision of Thanda’s founder and owner, Swedish IT entrepreneur Dan Olofsson, who had a compelling desire to become part of Africa and make a longstanding commitment to it. In Africa he found the people, environment and wildlife so special and captivating that in 2002 he founded the Thanda Group, which today includes three extraordinary hospitality experiences, an unparalleled real estate offering, and many long-term conservation initiatives, educational and skill advancement programmes, as well as community partnerships.
