The Thornybush Collection
Thornybush is one of the original nature reserves in the Greater Kruger National Park, with the first lodge opening its doors in 1961. Since then, the Thornybush group now operates lodges in both the Thornybush and Sabi Sand Private Nature Reserves.
Thornybush is a 14,000-hectare private nature reserve that shares a fenceless border with the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Big 5 encounters are the standout experiences for our guests, with visitors particularly impressed with the lion and leopard sightings. It is the vast diversity of wildlife, however, that has seen Thornybush emerge as a leading safari destination.
Twelve superb lodges in the world-renowned wilderness areas of Sabi Sand and Thornybush Nature Reserve.
Upon confirmation of your Thornybush reservation, Secrets VIP guests are also treated to one night complimentary stay at The Peermont D’Oreale Grande Hotel at Emperors Palace with return airport transfers.
It’s the people here, however, that is the real secret to the Thornybush magic. Guides lead with expertise and intuition that’s second to none, while the close-knit teams within the lodge, from the receptionists to the chefs, create the homely environment guests recognise as that ‘Thornybush feeling’. Here are the camps and lodges of the Thornybush Collection:
- Saseka Tented Camp
- Simbambili Game Lodge
- Little Saseka
- Thornybush Game Lodge
