Traditional Safari Experience in the Wilderness

Thornbush Game Lodge overlooks the ephemeral Monwana River within Thornbush Game Reserve.  This refined safari locale provides exceptional animal experiences, opulent accommodations, and exquisite cuisine.  The 4×4 vehicles for game drives accommodate six to ten people, enabling proximity to Africa’s large wildlife.

The Shangaan trackers will enthrall you with their expertise in various flora and traditional folklore narratives.  The afternoon game drive is succeeded by high tea, which transitions into the evening as seldom observed nocturnal species emerge from their concealment.  Experience fantastic stargazing and pre-dinner beverages in the wilderness, followed by a sumptuous three-course dinner in the boma and nightcaps around the campfire upon returning to the lodge.

Accommodation comprises Luxury Suites and Family Suites.  The Luxury Suites have complete en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, and a private veranda overlooking the seasonal river course or riverine vegetation.  The Family Suites feature a lounge equipped with a sleeping sofa and a spacious private deck that includes a plunge pool.  The lodge has comfy lounges, a swimming pool, an internet-accessible library, Thornybush Spa, a curio shop, and a children’s program.
