Thornhill is a really magnificent place. We stayed with our family of eight people in the lovelly en luxurious Manor house. Breakfast and dinner were really good. The staff are very kind and service minded. A very nice swimming pool with sun beds. Location in the middle of a nature reserve to spot easily giraffes, impala's, yniala's and other wildlife.

BAD: We had to leave (LITERALLY THAT IS IT!!) GOOD: Jamie, The Africa Travel Specialist was VERY helpful in planning for a family of six. The Lodge hospitality was BEYOND excellent. The resort manager was there to greet us for a late arrival with a cold refreshment. Nicole, The Thornhill Lodge attendant was eager to answer ALL of our questions and made us feel like FAMILY. The bus tour driver educated us with local culture & history as we traveled around. The grounds/housekeepers made the entire resort beautiful with their impeccable work and dedication to cleanliness. As we were getting ready to depart; I lost my grandmother's ring. One of the housekeepers found it & promptly returned it, that kind of employee is hard to come by in today's world. My family & I look forward to returning to Thornhill Safari Lodge again!

Amazing stay at Thornhill Safari Lodge. We could not have been happier with our stay. As first timers on safari with a limited budget and time this was perfect. You go on Safari for the wildlife so I'll start with that. The full day Kruger safari did not disappoint and the guide, Dyson, was highly experienced and knowledgeable. For the shorter 1/2 days, the local reserves were easily accessible and the animal encounters were frequent and magical. Overall, the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. The accommodation was very clean, with some really nice touches like turning on heating so we were toasty warm when we came back from night safari. food was also excellent. In terms of value for money, I thought it was excellent.
