My stay at Thornhill last week was incredible. Chris and his team were absolutely amazing. I felt so welcomed, all the staff were so friendly and enthusiastic and they ensured all the guests were very well looked after. The lodge felt like a home away from home and it had everything you needed. The rooms were very comfy and homely,... More

We stayed at Thornhill on a 3 day safari and had a fantastic time. Beautiful lodge, wonderful staff and great food. Everything was so well organized that we packed an incredible amount of stuff into a very short time. Thank you Thornhill for making it happen.
