We now have "family" in South Africa! At least that's how it feels after an incredible trip of a lifetime with Thornhill Safari Lodge. Charmaine, Lee Ann, Curteis, Daniel and the staff poured their passion for South Africa's wildlife and culture into our vacation.
They worked from before sunrise to hours after sunset to make our dreams come true of seeing beautiful wild animals on safari to taking in the beautiful panoramic sights.
I highly recommend Thornhill Safari lodge for a family. Thornhill hosted people from all across the globe during our 9 day stay. The local staff cooked homemade South African meals and had them ready for us early in the morning, held them late or packed them picnic style for us as we went on safari. We enjoyed meals by the campfire or the other beautiful settings on the property with the other visitors which made for interesting conversation and new friendships. I suggest booking directly through Thornhill since they can take care of your accommodations, safaris, meals and any excursions you can dream of. What a memorable family trip. We'll never forget you, Thornhill friends!
I need more than 5 stars! Wonderful human beings run this lodge - my family of four left Huntsville, Alabama to go to the Kruger National Park in South Africa. We did not know what to expect from Thornhill. Without exception, and we travel a lot, we have never had such phenomenal customer service, attention to detail, and flawless interaction with staff, guides, cooks, drivers, lecturers, maids, service people, etc. I am stunned that you get this much value for the money you spend. Book the lodge directly we went through two agencies to wind up here but contact them directly. They will get you to every tour, have a home cooked meal waiting for you, wake you up with traditional African drumming, and provide a sensational, comfortable venue - with every convenience - but you still have a "camp" feel. Dinners with top-notch guests of the lodge in a family style setting are very comfortable, and a tremendous added value. Also - the quality of the human beings that run the place Cannot say enough. Amazing Amazing, Amazing I promise I have no connection to the place other than being a paying customer but these folks are family now! WOW! HURRY UP AND BOOK!
A private owned lodge in the middle of wildlife. Compared to Kruger its heaven! It is small the staff is friendly and the location cool (but hard to find)
Once you are there you are welcomed with a smile. The wifi is amazing. Yes you have have to pay for it. But it is the fastest wifi we have seen in Africa. So money well spend.
The pool and rooms are cozy and nice. The people at the check in friendly and service minded.
It is in the middle of the wildlife so you have to stay within the camp as soon as it gets dark. Don’t feel surprised if you see giraffes or leopards around the camp. They are walking freely in the surrounding.
The bar is amazing and offers all you need. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and icecold beer.
We are in ❤️
Thornhill Safari Lodge is a privately owned and owner run lodge compared to big international companies.
It's a well run place with good friendly staff and offer excellent service.
We stayed at this lodge for four nights and we loved it. It has a pool, a sky deck and great atmosphere where travellers come together at breakfast - lunch - dinner and share their day and what they saw on their adventures during the day.
Manager Charmaine will try to accommodate you with any request you may have.
Overall highly recommended lodge for your stay in Kruger National Park.
Perfect small lodge in the middle of a private reservate. Staff is really kind and helpful. They take their time for you!
We had a perfect stay. Just two nights. too short! I loved the sundeck with an outstanding view over the park. And dinner round the fireplace. great!
Beautiful place with lovely people. A gorgeous view from the tree house.
Liked the environment, but you are a bit locked in the park. Saw zebra's at the gate. Very nice people who know the area very good. Good food, good excursions, had a great time.
Wonderful place. Ostriches and zebras came visiting the lodge in the morning and evening. Good food and hospitality. Try to book one of the honeymoon rooms - you wont regret!
We stayed there in January 2014 and had an amazing experience. Great people. Great place. The pool was lovely after long days in bush. Fantastic games drives. Rustic and affordable too. 100% would stay again.
Wonderful and friendly staff, very nice location. Good facilities, exceeded my expectations..
