Overview of Monwana Game Lodge

South Africa, Thornybush Game Reserve

Monwana Game Lodge is situated the game rich Thornybush Private Game Reserve that shares an unfenced border with the Greater Kruger National Park. Perched along the seasonal Monwana River that attracts free-to-roam wildlife, the lodge invites unexpected wildlife sightings from the comfort of your luxury lodgings. Panoramic views of the riverside can be enjoyed from multiple perspectives around the lodge, where you can relish in the natural wonder as herds of elephants congregate to douse themselves in the cool waters.

Monwana focuses on crafting exclusive wildlife safari experiences that will see you traversing the reserve’s diverse ecosystems. This includes twice-daily game drives across the open savannah plains and walking safaris through the thickets of the African bush. You will be amazed at the potential for spotting wild cats – the area is well-known for frequent sightings of elusive leopards. 

As an award-winning safari lodge, this accommodation is ideal for travellers from all walks of life, including families with children over the age of 10, friends, and couples. Open year-round, you can experience the seasonal changes surrounded by the luxuries of hotel-worthy amenities. The lodge's focus on eco-tourism ensures that your carbon footprint is minimised without compromising on quality.
