    Insider tips

    Excellent game viewing from the lodge due to the presence of the dry riverbed.
    Works well for both families and honeymooners as there are children’s activities available.
    The addition of Kamara House is an excellent family option, with two bedrooms and one adjoining kid's bedroom.

    Thornybush Game Lodge works beautifully for families, couples and groups alike. Big enough to find your own space, yet intimate enough to feel personal, it suits almost any travel style. Guaranteed game sightings, exceptional food, wine and service, and plenty of private corners to retreat to make it one of those rare properties that consistently delivers for every type of guest.
