Thornybush Collection. Game Lodges: Our Trusted Safari Partner
A cluster of opulent safari lodges in South Africa, the Thornybush collection is known for offering some of the best bush experiences in the country. Each lodge is situated on a riverbed or overlooks a waterhole, allowing visitors to enjoy the outdoors in sumptuous comfort. With the first lodge opening its doors in 1961, Thornybush is one of the first nature reserves in the Greater Kruger National Park. Since then, the Thornybush collection has expanded its distinguished collection of lodges, and it now runs operations in both the Sabi Sand and Thornybush Private Nature Reserves.
The history of the company dates back to when safari pioneer Norman Carr created a safari experience centered on community and conservation in Zambia seventy years ago. This philosophy has been upheld by Time + Tide, which has created a more “grounded” travel experience based on preserving Africa’s unique history, animals, people, and cultures.

They have worked on a variety of wildlife projects over the past few decades, including the first relocation of an entire elephant herd from Kruger, one of the first leopard introductions onto a private reserve, in-depth research on the critically endangered pangolin, and the first release of a black rhino onto a lowveld private nature reserve. Their attempts to improve the local community, including their extremely successful “Thousand Herbs and Vegetable Garden” initiative, which consists of two small farms maintained by local businesses and provides the lodges with fresh produce, are part of their solid dedication to sustainable travel principles.
