Deep in the heart of Big Five country, adjacent to the greater Kruger National Park and sharing its huge diversity of mammal and bird species, lies over 14,000 hectares of pristine African bushveld that is the Thornybush Nature Reserve.

Here, and in the north-eastern Sabi Sands, discerning travellers will find The Thornybush Luxury Game Lodge Collection, a prestige selection of four- and five-star destinations, each individually designed and located in stunning natural surroundings to provide an intimate and utterly singular bush experience.

Inzalo Investment Holdings T/A Thornybush Luxury Game Lodge Collection owns, manages and markets the current group of 12 lodge offerings, including one successful self-catering lodge. Headquartered in Rivonia, Johannesburg, Thornybush Luxury Game Lodge Collection offers game lodge solutions to individual International and Southern African safari travellers as well as to the group and incentive market.

In December 2015 refurbishments to the collection’s main lodge, Thornybush Game Lodge, started with a remodelled main deck. One of the suites has already been entirely redone and the other 19 will be finished over the next 12 months, with the upgrades expected to be finished in early 2017.
