THE YEAR IN BRIEF 340 12 Lions
In 2022, the world finally reopened for travel and our 48 Elephants
business enjoyed record sales. Bookings at Thanda Tot al numb e r of “T he B i g Fi ve” * 265 African buffaloes
Safari have been the highest since the lodge opened
in 2004. Our incredible Thanda Island has seen 15 Leopards
a major upswing in sales since we purchased our
helicopter, a 7-seater Airbus EC 130 B4 stationed Black and white rhinos
and manned full-time on the island. Guests can fly
directly from Dar es Salaam International Airport
to the island in just 40 minutes. They can also take a
10-minute flight to Chole Bay on Mafia Island, where
they can dive at some of East Africa’s best diving sites.

Over the course of the year, Thanda Island also
completed one of the largest solar cell installations in
Tanzania, and the island is now electrically self-suf-
ficient. This electricity powers the two desalination
plants that produce fresh water from the sea. Even
the plant that recycles the “grey water” that waters
the island’s gardens and the recycling plant are
powered by our self-generated electricity.

All these long-term investments help reduce the
island’s carbon footprint.
