Our Opinion... “a good quality lodge with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, where families and couples can enjoy a private plunge pool and viewing deck and embrace the vast African savannah in style.”  

Adjacent to the Kruger National Park, Thornybush Game Reserve is predominantly savannah with vast stretches of grassland areas encouraging diverse and plentiful game, including the Big Five and over 300 species of bird.

Overlooking the seasonal Monwana River, Thornybush Game Lodge offers stylish accommodation in 20 well appointed suites. The suites are tastefully decorated and generously sized with full-length glass doors opening onto a private viewing deck.

The dining is varied and alternates between the boma and the dining room, which extends onto an elevated viewing deck where one can enjoy views over the watering hole below, private deck dinners can also be arranged.

After an exhilarating game drive, indulge yourself and be pampered in the Matis Spa, where trained beauty therapists will endeavour to relax and rejuvenate you.

Alternatively one can choose a book from the intimate library and simply relax by the swimming pool, enjoying a cocktail and basking in Africa’s glorious sunshine.
