Is the Thornybush Waterside Lodge for Me?

Thornybush Waterside Lodge (awarded a 5-star rating by the South African Tourism Grading Council)20 Luxurious Suites, 40 VisitorsThornybush Waterside Lodge, located on the shores of a serene lake and surrounded by breathtaking views of the African bushveld, offers immediate relaxation.

The lodge’s 20 air-conditioned, tastefully furnished Thatched Suites mix in with their surroundings and are scattered along walks bordered by lush landscaping and trees—accommodations with en-suite bathrooms and elegantly styled white bedding.

While bushwalks are for the more daring, highly trained rangers and trackers, they guarantee Big Five animal viewing possibilities during dawn and dusk safaris.

After breakfast, guests are invited to unwind and enjoy the African surroundings on the main deck area overlooking the lake.
