My wife and I got married here a couple of months ago. It was a truly memorable experience for both us and our guests and we're so pleased we chose this lodge - we can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to do similar! 
“Thornybush Game Lodge will always hold a special place in our hearts as they gave us the wedding of our dreams. There was no better place for an international wedding of 120 guests, and there was no greater experience they could have given to our guests.”
