Five reasons to choose Thornybush Game Lodge for your next holiday

1. Wildlife on your doorstep
The main lodge overlooks a waterhole and riverbed where elephants, buffalo and other large animals are regular visitors. You can enjoy some fantastic wildlife sightings without even heading out on a game drive.

2. Early morning safari adventures
Wake before sunrise and head into the reserve while the air is cool and wildlife is at its most active. Stop for coffee in a special spot in the bush before returning to the lodge for a well-earned late breakfast.

3. Beautiful river-facing suites
Eighteen of the lodge’s 20 luxurious suites offer river-facing views, with large windows and sliding doors helping you make the most of the setting. Each Luxury Suite also has an en-suite bathroom plus indoor and outdoor showers.

4. Sunset game drives
After a relaxing afternoon, head out on a three-hour game drive that continues into the early evening. Pause for a sundowner as the sun sets across the savanna, then look out for nocturnal wildlife beginning to emerge.

5. Memorable dining in the bush
Enjoy delicious cuisine, including Ottolenghi-style buffets prepared by the lodge’s master bush chef, Solly. Bush dinners are a highlight, with hearty food served among lanterns and candles while the sounds of the African wilderness surround you.
