The Kids at Thornybush Game Lodge program makes it an ideal family getaway. Children receive a complimentary activity backpack and are assigned a ranger upon arrival. Outdoor activities are tailor-made to suit children’s needs and include game walks and drives. At the end of their stay, children are awarded ‘Ranger in Training’ certificates.
Thornybush Game Lodge offers unique, exclusive safari experiences in both open land cruisers and on foot.

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.
