Waterbuck Game Lodge Thornybush Nature Reserve, hotel in Thornybush Game Reserve

Waterbuck Game Lodge Thornybush Nature Reserve is situated in the Southern part of The Thornybush Nature Reserve, adjacent to a water estuary and waterhole.

There’s some warmth to it and understated luxury. We like coming back after each game drive and just relax, while we wait for mealtimes. Feels private, with only 4 rooms /other guests. Overall we had a wonderful experience- the ranger (Marnus) and tracker (Aubrey) gave their best in every game drive, everything was well organised and taken care of, service was excellent, we like the refreshments at sunset in the middle of the drive ;) there was a nice touch to everything. Rooms were very clean and spacious! Food was good too

Kingfisher Creek Safari Lodge, hotel in Thornybush Game Reserve

Situated in Hoedspruit, 41 km from Kinyonga Reptile Centre, Kingfisher Creek Safari Lodge features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool and a bar.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, lead by Annie and Betty. They were prepared to make adjustments to accommodate us all in timings and tastes. Food is outstanding; they have a very good chef. We especially liked the honesty bar and that you could come and go at the pool and lounge as you liked. They did not overdo the lodge thing which created a very relaxed family atmosphere. And of course, seeing Roan antelope from our tent.

    We were greeted warmly by owners Michael and Vicky who were always happy to chat and find out about our experience at the lodge. When I mentioned a couple of minor issues they were quickly addressed. Our tent was comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed seeing antelopes just outside. They also came to drink from the swimming pool, giving us some great photo opportunities. The driver Dennis and spotter Phomani were very knowledgeable and found some wonderful sites to spot the animals, especially the lions killing a buffalo.

The lodge is lovely to stay with the kindest staff who also love to make some fun! The area is amazing for safari and game drives. We saw a LOT! And of course the big 5! our tracker and guide made sure we wouldn’t leave without seeing them all. Tangala team goes above and beyond. thanks for making our safari dream coming true like this! We love to return one day!

    We had an amazing stay at Tangala. Our first safari and it didn’t disappoint. Our Guide Respect and Tracker Fumani were incredible, went all out to make sure we saw the Big 5, great guys. Karen and Bertus run a fabulous authentic lodge and all the staff were fantastic, they all made sure we had the perfect experience. Can’t recommend Tangala enough !
