Kamara House, a private house overlooking a small riverbed, is the newest luxury safari addition in the Thornybush Nature Reserve and forms part of the game lodge’s recent refurbishment.
Covering an area of 251 sqm, with an additional 120 sqm deck and swimming pool, Kamara House is an exclusive-use villa that can comfortably accommodate up to six people, making it an ideal choice for special occasions with friends and families.
Access to the Thornybush main area, including the spa and wellness centre – which will open in June – the expansive pool area, and the renowned Game Lodge shop, is just a short walk away.
"We are delighted to expand the Thornybush offering by introducing our guests to a holistic five-star luxury safari experience, complete with a health and wellness programme, immersive safari experiences and new facilities, while staying true to the safari legacy that defines Thornybush Game Lodge," says Melanie Parker, Head of Operations.
While Kamara House presents a more contemporary ambience compared with the Game Lodge, it still retains a warm and inviting style, featuring individual statement pieces, rich textures, and warm earthy hues.
The house features two bedrooms connected to the main area, with one suite incorporating an interleading bedroom, making it an ideal choice for those travelling with younger children or as a standalone room.
As part of Thornybush's ongoing commitment to support local communities, the construction teams were employed locally.
The Kamara experience
From the moment guests arrive, the Thornybush team and a dedicated butler take care of every detail. Meals, prepared by a personal chef, are served alfresco-style in the outdoor area or in the spacious dining area.
Kamara House provides guests with a dedicated game vehicle, guide and tracker, allowing for an immersive safari experience at their own pace, free from the constraints of scheduled events and other guests.
Thornybush Nature Reserve, situated within the Greater Kruger National Park, provides an immersive safari experience, with twice-daily game drives and guided bush walks.
"We are thrilled with the addition of Kamara House to our esteemed Thornybush offering. Building upon the cherished legacy of the beloved Game Lodge, this exclusive-use retreat provides discerning guests seeking high-end seclusion and privacy with the opportunity to uncover their dream safari," says Andy Payne, CEO of Thornybush.
