Fantastic Stay
We had a very good 2 days/nights at Thornhill Safari Lodge. The Manager and her staff are amazing and gives us a really good feeling of the beginning of our trip through South Africa. The room is big enough, a good bed and bathroom. Breakfast, lunch and diner are very nice and the activities are organised as it should be! Please do not doubt and book your stay!

Amazing experience!
We had our 30th wedding aniversary celebration. This is African hospitality at its best. Every detail is seen to, the rooms are extremely comfy and beautifully set in the bush. We just loved the outdoor shower! The staff are wonderful, thx to Thandi, David and Johanna for going the extra mile. We will be talking about Johanna's food for years - a real taste experience. Thank you for making this a real memorable stay.
