Everything about Thornybush is fabulous, from the location of the lodge itself, to actual accomodations, the dining, and last but not least, the twice dsily safari rides where you get to experience the wildlife in their own habitat. Finally, a word about the staff. They are outstanding - knowledgeable, competent, polite, friendly and always helpful.

A slightly ageing thorneybush venue
The staff and the overall atmosphere was great, the game viewing and guiding excellent, but the lodge needs a little work to bring it up to standard. The rooms while large and comfortable show the signs of lack of investment and refurbishment. Thorneybush need ps to embrace a 5 year refreshment cycle in this lodge so as not to undermine the brand. None the less, still a good stay

Great Lodge and Drives.
Thornybush Lodge was first class all the way. The meals were delicious, the grounds beautiful and the service impeccable. The lodge even recognized a special wedding anniversary we were having by surprising us with rose petals, candles and champagne by the tub. The game drives were informative, fun and successful as we saw leopards, lions, rhinos, zebras, elephants, giraffes, numerous interesting birds, and much more. Met other very nice people at the lodge

Helt fantastisk. Anbefales!!!
Helt perfekt. Kunne ikke vært bedre dette oppholdet. Meget god service,mat og utrolig flotte rom som er meget private. Vi kommer absolutt tilbake. Safariguidene var perfekte og forklarte meget mye. Utrolig spennende. Jaluka var vår guide og var perfekt.
