Thornybush Game Lodge

•  Expansive river setting
•  Family-friendly lodge
•  In the heart of the game-rich Thornybush Game Reserve

Thornybush Game Lodge lies within the 11,500 ha Thornybush Private Game Reserve, which lies adjacent to the Greater Kruger National Park. The lodge has a lovely setting with expansive views over the Monwana River and its ever-active water hole, to the open grasslands beyond.

Thornybush Game Lodge is home to a wide range of animal and bird species including the Big Five. Unrivalled big game viewing is complemented by well-appointed accommodation and sublime cuisine. The lodge has a very attractive sense of space and style with extensive open air living and dining areas with expansive decks, as well as a library and sitting room inside so that there's always a comfortable place to relax with a book or a pair of binoculars.

Accommodation

Though it is relatively large with 21 luxury rooms and suites, the configuration of the self-contained rooms offers privacy and solitude to couples. Each of the stylish air-conditioned rooms and suites have a sitting area, private deck and spacious bathroom with both a bath and a shower. The suites also have a private plunge pool on the deck and an outdoor shower so not suitable for very little children. The family suites are set a little away, and can accommodate two children on two sleeper couches.

Enjoy exciting dawn and dusk safaris in open land rovers and on walking safaris, enjoy a treatment in the Beauty Spa or relax at the pool with a drink as you bask in Africa's glorious sunshine. An African safari can be a life-changing experience.

Families at Thornybush

Children from 6 upwards can join the adult game drives. Children under 12 can share with parents. There is a children's programme of activities at Main Lodge and Waterside Lodge.
