Overview
Siviti Luxury Safari Lodge, formerly known as Thornybush River Lodge is a unique and luxurious offering in the southern section of Thornybush Private Nature Reserve, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park.
Situated along the Timbavati River known for its abundance of dense grass and trees, this region is home to an array of wildlife. The camp was previously fenced which limited the movements of elephants resulting in high volumes of grassland. Now, these majestic animals can move freely through reserves offering guests unique sightings.
While staying at Siviti you will enjoy endless views of curious and thirsty animals roaming around. Relax at the main deck watching animals graze while taking a dip in the rim-flow pool or, from the shaded waters of your private plunge pool. Siviti is perfectly placed within the midst of the untamed African bushveld, where you will experience unsurpassed game viewing opportunities blended seamlessly with personalized service and prime amenities.
This intimate lodge boasts six private suites as well as the Timbavati Villa which features two suites. For families and close friends, Timbavati Homestead is the perfect option. All suites and villas offer elegant furnishings that filter through to the main lodge area offering guests a home away from home experience!
