Location in Greater Kruger was beautiful. Animals walking through the resort, a sight seeing spot on height. Diner and breakfast were good, It is friendly, open and also safe. Morning bushwalk is highly recommended, they give you a very good explanation of the life in the area (small things)

information that you have to pay a small entry fee. rooms are not that big and the bed is a little bid cozy (1.40x2.00).

Amazing location in the middle of a nature reserve. Lots of animals wander around on the property, like impala, nyala, zebra, mongoose and even a hyena (not a threat). The staff is really nice and the rooms are comfortable and clean. You are able to book bush walks and safari's at the reception up until the evening before.

The road up to the lodge is long (takes +-35 mins to get into a main road) and really bumpy. Not really a con, but good to know.

Tranquil lodge, with great staff and management. Giraffe, zebra, monkeys, impala all visited! Food was good- a different vegetarian meal for us each day. Lodge activities were well organised and good value for money. Room was comfortable and very clean. I would happily return here

Could not fault this lodge

The welcome drink and cloth to refresh was a nice touch. The sunset deck was a nice place to chill,see the sunset and get some network to make calls and catch up on some messages. The service from the staff was awesome.They made us feel at home.They even planned a surprise birthday cake and singing on my husband's birthday. The food was nice and homely.

You can only get network at certain spots and free wifi is not available in the rooms. The shower water become cold mid shower on most days.

I loved the set up of the place the food was very nice and they even allowed us to bring our own alcohol and the staff a friendly and always assisting whenever needed

The road to the lodge is gravel so it's not good for private car and when they iron ur clothes they charge and to me when they say it's full board it means we eat and drink but with them lnch and dinner u buy ur own drink

The place is very clean, full of tranquility and the zebras and Giraffes just randomly visit you to chill with you 🥰 The food was exceptional Staff very friendly from reception, guides and the kitchen staff

Nothing, everything was perfect. We forgot to bring our mosquito spray and the mosquitoes were a lot but one of the staff borrowed us their spray and peace was restored 😅

The staff was wonderful. The game drives were well organized and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable.

A lot of nice places to relax in between activities. The dinners were amazing. It was really hot when we were there and we appreciated the a/c units in each room! Lots of animals roaming around the property -

The meals were good the chef and staff were very friendly. The lodge is in a small section of a reserve, and you get close up experiences with safe animals. We were impressed with the variety of animals which stroll up to the lodge to eat on the wild marula. Most guests just sleep at the lodge and use the extensive tour options to experience the area. The interactions at the meals indicated the high quality of these tours.

Nice little lodge in the middle of jungle. Staff was super friendly. Anya and Reese took great care of us. Every night the chef Nmbya cook amazing food for us keeping in mind that I am vegetarian. We even saw Giraffes right outside our property. Antelopes were right outside our room. Our guide and driver Sam was very friendly and soft spoken. He made our safari experience memorable.

Nothing at all. It was perfect.

- Clean, spacious and great rooms with a bathtub and two showers (inside and outside) - Huge and comfortable beds - Very helpful and hospitable staff, welcoming you with a drink - All meals were prepared with love, especially the dinner ceremony - It's a private reserve, the animals come very close to your room - on our way we saw some giraffes and zebras, at night we could even hear lions roaring from a reserve nearby 😍 - Organized game drives (also to Kruger Park) were awesome, the guides absolutely do their best - All in all, we had an amazing time at Thornhill and felt there like at home, definitely a must-do/ -see
