This was our first trip to South Africa and the incredible staff at Thornhill made this time just unforgettable. We were able to design the perfect unique adventure for ourselves with both a safari component and the panoramic route. Nicole is a treasure, as are each of the staff members and they all went above and beyond for us. They all made us feel welcomed and celebrated our experiences with us. Guides were so knowledgeable and delighted in our endless questions. Highly recommend!

A great lodge with great activities and delicious food. Nicole, Bobo, chef Anika, all very sweet great people. The morning walk in the bush, the safari and the South African braai (BBQ) with all the guests in a very nice atmosphere. We would definitely go back here!

We didn’t know what to expect when booking a safari tour, and Thornhill made the experience unforgettable. Everything was organised perfectly for us, and tailored personally by the staff for our activities and dining. Our tour guide’s knowledge was second to none with no question he couldn’t answer, and the unexpected highlight of the trip was just how good the food was, all made fresh on site. Saw lots of wildlife including buffalo, monkeys and zebra right outside our room! Would recommend to anyone considering safari. And make sure to check out the sunset deck!

This was an authentic African bush Safari Lodge. The room was great and above our expectations. The bed was very comfortable. We had zebra and monkeys around us. Food was good - homestyle, cooking and barbecuing. They did a good job of doing wheat and dairy free food for me, which I appreciated very much. Our guide, Bougani, who is an endearing young Swazi gent, had a wealth of local information on anything and everything.
