Welcome to ThornForest

The horizon is ablaze, as the sun sinks into its wild bed. The fireflies are flexing their wings as the fire crackles to life. A cricket sets the pitch for his band, and the Cicadas awaken with an unmistakable rhythm. These are the opening bars of the wild bushveld symphony at ThornForest Luxury Bush Lodge…

In this magical place, nature invites you to experience a rare, intimate immersion in the wild, within Marloth Park which is on the southern border of the world-renowned Kruger National Park.

At ThornForest there is luxury, tranquility, privacy and freedom. Freedom to relax in and around our sparkling pool as you enjoy delightful visits from the local wildlife right in the garden!

Freedom to enjoy an al fresco meal with your favorite people under the beautiful Kruger Park sky, and freedom to think, breathe or lose yourself in a book in a quiet spot in our lovely wild garden (if you nap, we won’t tell).

ThornForest is the place you dream of when the chaos of daily life gets exhausting. It’s the peaceful escape that operates on bush time, birdsongs and lion lullabies. It was created with you in mind. So, book your stay and discover a whole new wild world.
