Monwana Game Lodge in Thornybush, Limpopo (original) (raw)

Monwana Game Lodge is a Limpopo game lodge providing a wildlife experience for anyone visiting Valley of the Olifants.

Monwana offers luxury accommodation in the Thornybush Nature Reserve. Monwana occupies its own space in the reserve, part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem, where a short journey from the airport provides your first introduction to safari. The lodge also overlooks an active wildlife waterhole where you can observe a stream of wildlife coming to drink from the comfort of the wooden deck.

We believe the magic of the bush is best experienced through all five senses and love crafting spectacular Monwana moments with surprise settings in nature - bush dinners, breakfasts, picnics, stops and riverbed dining under the stars. We handpick unique locations to tailor unforgettable dining moments in nature, creating lasting memories.
