Thornybush Nature Reserve is an exclusive private reserve in one of South Africa’s finest game viewing regions. This part of the country has a number of conservation areas and private concessions alongside the famous Kruger National Park, which provides a sanctuary for an incredible diversity of wildlife. Waterbuck Game Lodge is tucked away in the southern part of Thornybush, and with just four lavish guest suites, it offers an intimate safari experience, and excellent game viewing. A highlight here is its position overlooking a permanent waterhole, which attracts a constant stream of wildlife, particularly during the dry winter months.

Waterbuck Lodge has just four double or twin suites, scattered along a winding pathway which leads through the bush from the main lodge. The interiors are extremely roomy, with an extra sense of space provided by the peaked thatched ceilings, and an opulent feel created by the dark wooden finishes, beautiful ethnic fabrics and rich earthy colours. Each suite has a raised private deck overlooking the waterhole. Bathrooms are en-suite, with a deep tub and an outdoor shower.
