At Thornybush, all our lodges cater for solo travellers. Whether you’d like a smaller, more intimate lodge or a larger, busier one, Thornybush is well aware of what a solo traveller finds important. Travelling solo grants our guests the freedom to move as they please and shape their days to their own specific whims. Meals can be enjoyed in the company of our guides or other guests, with a lot of free time in the day to soak up the peace and beauty of the bush.

Me time
To travel in good company is a magical thing, but there’s nothing quite like the freedom of traveling on your own terms. Solo travellers to Thornybush can luxuriate in their own freedom and move at their own pace. The joy of going on a solo safari is that you can be fully immersed in the bush experience.
Freedom of choice
As a solo traveller you’ll likely join other groups and individuals on game drives and at meal times. While this is often a fantastic time to meet other travellers you’ll also have the option of disengaging from the group and spending your holiday the way you want to.

Peace of Mind
It’s safe
Travelling alone brings with it its own challenges and concerns and one of them can be safety. At Thornybush, we can meet you right off the plane to ensure a safe journey directly to your lodge. While with us, in the security of the reserve, you should have no concerns of any kind and can enjoy the best of our wildlife, free of any worries.
It’s social
From game drives and sundowners, to pre-dinner drinks and hosted meals there are ample opportunities to socialise with other people – guests and staff alike. Many of the activities which happen on safari are by their nature social events, and making sure everyone feels included is part of what we do so well at Thornybush.
The best game reserve and lodging in South Africa. Superb luxury accommodation, variety to choose from, in nature where animals walk up to your doorstep; 5 star with all the bells-&-whistles. Guaranteed BIG 5 sightings, usually within first day. Elephants, Lions, Leopard, Cape Buffalo, Rhinoceros. Abundance of other wild animals Hyaena, crocodiles, honey badgers, caracal, warthog, antelopes, etc. But the best part is it’s staff that make you feel so special & welcomed. Thornybush lodges are absolutely stunning and I cannot recommend anywhere else but Thornybush for safari trekking in South Africa. Thank you Thornybush once again you have blown me away
