We stayed at Thunzi bush Lodge and we were not disappointed because everything was the way it was on the internet. We enjoyed ourselves, everything was clean and the rooms were beautiful and tidy. Me and my boyfriend wanted a peaceful place where we can relax and detox from stressful working environment.The lodge was great choice for us as we enjoyed our stay and definitely loved waking up to a beautiful view of nature.

We’ve found a little piece of heaven!!! From the beautiful surroundings to the wonderful food (Thanks Betty) from the friendly pets (Kira & Nero) to all the help and assistance that Greer provided. The best you can say about any place you stay is that you can’t wait to come back…and we can’t wait!

These charming characters make this place much more beautiful than it is on its own. You hav e settled the sun into our souls. We do thank you & send you much love and light from our hearts.

Thanks so much for what has turned out to be the highlight of our trip so far. The cabin was far nicer than we had expected and the view alone would be worth the trip from the UK. The food was superb and we will be on diets now for the duration of our stay. Now if we can only think of a way to smuggle Kira & Nero back with us…
