Hotel reviews
TravellerTravellerBest-in-class in every way. If you’re looking for a luxury lodge with a personal touch, choose Thornybush.
TravellerIndescribably excellent in every way. I have traveled all over the world in this ranks at the absolute top.
TravellerEverything 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.
TravellerLovely room, wonderful food, and great safaris.
The lodging, food, service, safaris, and spa were all outstanding.
Travellerluxury at it's best-mel &wayne wonderful hosts
Amazing - wonderful service - can't wait to return!
TravellerA 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
TravellerGreat 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
TravellerWould go back in a heartbeat
It was amazing and I would highly recommend it. They look after everything so you do not have to worry about anything. The staff are incredible. The guide Chris was awesome and very good at his job. The food was amazing.
TravellerJust right
We saw the big 5 and much more, accommodations were luxurious, food was abundant and delicious. No Internet in the rooms., only in the main lobby.
TravellerExcellent!!!
Outstanding. Our stay at Thornybush Game Lodge from 20-22nd of July 2015 could not have been better. Our guides Jack and Ishi were great. We saw all Big 5 and a host of other very beautiful animals within the reserve. Congratulations!!!!!!
