Game Viewing
Imagine tracking African wildlife through the bush on a dawn or dusk game drive in an open Land Rover. Alternatively explore the surrounding nature on foot.
The Thornybush Game Reserve is home to South Africa's Big Five, namely Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Lion and Leopard. Return to Thornybush Game Lodge after an exciting game drive and relax with a soothing spa treatment at the Amani Spa. Sip on your favourite cocktail while relaxing at the refreshing pool.
