A day on a plate at Thonga Beach Lodge 🍴🌿🌊

Breakfast before heading down to the beach. Lunch between ocean adventures. Something cold with your toes in the sand. And dinner (with room for dessert, always).

Food has always been part of the experience at Thonga; shaped by the coast, the people in our kitchen and the flavours that have become firm favourites over the years.

And now, some of those flavours can come home with you. Food Safari with Isibindi brings together recipes and stories from Thonga and our lodges,
so a little piece of your stay can find its way onto your own table.

Available now online, in selected bookstores and in our lodge gift shops ✨🐚

What does it take to protect a rhino? 🦏

Our conservation K9 teams work alongside their handlers as part of the ongoing effort to protect rhinos and other wildlife.

But keeping these teams operational requires continued support; from specialist training and equipment to veterinary care, food and the day-to-day needs of working dogs.

That’s where you can make a difference.

By donating through the Isibindi Foundation, you can help support the K9 teams working to protect our wildlife. 🐾

Every contribution helps keep paws and people on the ground.

Donate via the link in our bio. 🦏✨

A cookbook, but also so much more. 🌿

Food Safari with Isibindi is a collection of the people, places and flavours that have shaped Isibindi over the years.

It’s the stories shared around the table, the chefs behind the dishes, the ingredients and landscapes that inspire them, and the memories made along the way. 🌍✨

More than recipes, it’s a little piece of Isibindi to take home with you.

Food Safari with Isibindi is now available online, in selected bookstores and at our lodge gift shops. ✨

Made in collaboration with The Hungry Penguin South Africa 📚

Some things are almost impossible to explain until you’ve been here. 🌍✨

How big an elephant feels when there’s nothing between you but a few metres of African bush. How loud the Indian Ocean is on an empty beach. A sunset over the Zambezi. The stillness of an early morning game drive. The people you meet and somehow feel you’ve known much longer.

We can show you the photographs. We can tell you the stories.

But some parts of travelling through Southern Africa simply have to be experienced.

Come and feel it for yourself.

Why Zululand? What’s even there?

Well… this. 🌿

Big Five country and some of South Africa’s most important conservation landscapes. Wildlife around every bend. Ancient forests. Warm Indian Ocean beaches. iSimangaliso Wetland Park. And places that still feel wonderfully far from the crowds.

Our Zululand lodges take you from the bush at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge, in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, to the wild coastline at Thonga Beach Lodge.

If Zululand hasn’t made it onto your South Africa itinerary yet, consider this your sign 🇿🇦💥

Come for the wildlife. Stay for everything you didn’t know was here.

The people behind the plates. 🌿

Behind every dish served at Isibindi is a story, and Nomazulu Ndlovu’s is one of dedication, growth and a deep connection to place.

Her journey at Thonga Beach Lodge began in 2004, scrubbing pots and learning from the kitchen around her.
More than two decades later, she is the heart and soul of Thonga’s kitchen, having led the culinary team for the past 10 years.

It’s people like Nomazulu who give Isibindi’s food its story.
Food Safari with Isibindi celebrates not only the recipes from our lodges, but the people, places and journeys behind them.

Our cookbook will be launching soon. Keep posted for your chance to bring a taste of Isibindi home. 🍋🌿
