Looking for a family holiday that brings everyone together, without sacrificing comfort,
adventure, or style? At Thornybush, we believe a safari should be a life-changing experience for
all ages.

Thornybush Game Lodge is the ideal destination for multigenerational families with it’s
perfect blend of luxury, wildlife, and curated experiences tailored to every member of the
family – from tiny explorers and game ranger wannabes to seasoned travellers.

Looking for extra privacy or a more exclusive setting? You’ll love Kamara House, a beautifully
designed private safari villa that feels like your home away from home in the bush. Kamara
House features two spacious en-suite bedrooms, a lounge fully stocked with games and books,
a private pool and firepit, a chef and butler to cater to your every need, and a private safari
guide and vehicle. Two adjacent suites can be added if you’re travelling with grandparents or extended family members.

Just next door, Little Saseka which is part of the chic Saseka Tented Camp, has recently been
refurbished and reimagined as a private luxury safari hideaway for families. This exclusive-use
tent sleeps two adults and two children, with the option of booking adjacent tented suites for
more space for the rest of the family. A private guide, tracker, safari vehicle, chef, and butler
ensure every need is met, with the signature Thornybush touch.

With spacious outdoor decks, private plunge pools, and front-row seats to the African
bush, Kamara House and Little Saseka promise the safari holiday your family will never forget.

We actively welcome children under 12 at both Kamara House and Little Saseka. Our dedicated
team curates family-focused activities to ensure every moment is special; from hands-on baking
to insect-spotting bush walks and storytelling under the stars.

We know kids experience the world differently and we love that! That’s why we’ve created
a child-friendly safari experience that sparks imagination and fosters connection.

Here’s what you and your little explorers can look forward to:

• A Little Ranger in Training backpack on arrival, filled with fun bush-themed activities
• Guided bush walks on the lodge grounds to learn about insects, plants, and bush skills
• Baking sessions with our kitchen team (hello, safari-shaped cookies served at tea-time
  for the whole family to enjoy!)
• Game drives tailored to children’s interests and energy levels
• A child-friendly menu with meals even picky eaters will love
• Babysitting services available if parents need time to relax
• And, if you’d like to preserve the memories forever, we can arrange a professional
  family photo shoot

We understand that family travel is all about flexibility so we pair family groups with guides
who enjoy engaging with younger guests and tailor activities and drives to suit children’s
attention spans. While children under six aren’t permitted on shared game drives, booking
a private vehicle ensures your little ones can experience the magic of the bush safely alongside
you.

We want every member of your family to have a magical stay. That means space to relax, room
to roam, and countless ways to connect with nature and with each other. Parents can indulge
in a spa treatment or work out in the gym while kids are entertained with baking or bush
adventures. Evenings are for stories around the firepit, wildlife sightings from the deck, or
candlelit dinners under the stars.

Thornybush offers a truly special safari experience that brings families closer together while
giving everyone the freedom to enjoy the bush in their own way! Whether it’s early morning
game drives, bush walks for budding nature lovers, afternoons by the pool, or unwinding with a
wellness treatment, this is where unforgettable memories are made. It’s not just a holiday, it’s
a chance to disconnect from screens, reconnect with each other, and experience the wonder of
the African bush as a family.
