A 3-hour walking village tour scheduled around your lodge stay that takes you into the life of the community that surrounds this land. The bush is extraordinary. But the people who have lived alongside it for generations who know its seasons, its stories, its silences, are something else entirely. This tour is an introduction.
Beyond the bush lies a community rich in culture, warmth and tradition. Walk alongside the people who call this land home — share in their stories, their flavours and their spirit.
Brought to life by the people who live them — elders, families, community members.
Traditional flavours to savour and share. Hospitality that needs no translation.
A hands-on stop at a Thornybush community project. Roll up your sleeves.
The Thornybush Community Tour is thoughtfully designed to sit alongside your game drives — this is the immersive experience that rounds out your safari.
