Overlooking the Monwana River and opposite the world-famous Kruger National Park, Thornybush Game Lodge is perfectly situated for a safari experience like no other. The lodge is part of Thornybush Reserve, a 38-square-kilometre natural paradise.

Take a morning or afternoon game drive in a 4x4 to get a close encounter with the ‘Big Five’. Or, spot up to 60 other species across the acres of bush – this place has everything from antelope to zebra. Thornybush’s rangers have spent years learning about the plants, trees and wildlife, so you’ll be spoiled with inside knowledge during your stay. And, once the exploring part of the day is done, you can unwind in Thornybush Game Lodge with a nightcap, keep warm by the cosy campfire, and look at the incredible African night sky.

You’ll find everything you need for a fantastic break at Thornybush Game Lodge. All suites are kitted out with luxury facilities and air-conditioning to keep you comfortable. The lodge also has a well-equipped Amani African spa, where you can choose from a menu of stress-reducing massages. There’s a swimming pool for cooling down from the hot South African sun, or you can read your book on a cushioned lounger.

Children of all ages will love Thornybush Game Lodge. There are plenty of fun activities on offer, including treasure hunts, baking, face painting and educational walks. And, if you fancy a romantic evening meal for two, babysitting services can be provided on request.
