The River Lodge at Thornybush

‘Luxury Lodge, Open Savannah Plains’

The River Lodge is in the Thornybush Private Nature Reserve next to Kruger National Park, where regular views of the Big Five are an everyday occurrence in the open savannah. It is along the banks of the Timbavati River with views across the Drakenberg Mountains. There are four suites with plunge pools at the lodge, ensuring a personalised service, as well as a lounge, dining area and a swimming pool overlooking the water hole nearby.
