Luxury for every type of traveller
Set on riverbeds or overlooking waterholes, the Thornybush lodges are luxurious oases where our guests can savour the joys of the wilderness in comfort. Our 12 lodges vary in size and stature, but all of them encourage our guests to sit back, not worry about a thing and just enjoy the magic of the African bush.
While the fantastic settings, cuisine, suites and small touches are sure to impress, it’s the people of Thornybush who are the beating heart of what we do and the reason guests return to us. Many staff members have been in our family for over 20 years and if there’s one feature of Thornybush we’re most proud of it’s that so many guests also leave feeling part of our family.
