Monwana Lodge is a four star superior, exclusive game lodge, consisting of six air conditioned luxury suites. The lodge is run in a friendly, homely atmosphere encouraging guests to relax and enjoy themselves.

Monwana Lodge is situated in the Thornybush Game Reserve, which shares common boundaries with the Greater Kruger National Park and is approximately 12 000 hectares in size. This is big 5 country in the heart of South Africa's pristine bushveld.

Monwana Lodge is located on the seasonal Monwana River. The waterhole is strategically positioned so that animals are always within view. The Monwana river is the ecological backbone of the Thornybush Game Reserve, flowing briefly after heavy rains.

Thornybush Game Reserve is well known for its abundance of game. There is a great diversity of animal and birdlife with over 56 mammal and 300 bird species.
Monwana consists of six double rooms, including two family unit suites and a honeymoon suite. For your comfort all rooms are air-conditioned and are en suite. Each unit has it's own private deck or patio over-looking the waterhole or bushveld, where you can enjoy a drink and watch the spectacular bird life or game wander by.

All rooms are beautifully appointed with attention to detail. At the end of the day guests can return to their rooms and relax in comfort. All rooms are serviced daily.
Pre-dawn wake up for tea and coffee, before departing on the morning game drive. An experienced ranger and tracker, with extensive knowledge of the area, will read the previous night's tracks and lead you to where the excitement is, for instance tracking the big five. Game drives are on an open Land Rover, which will ensure the best possible game viewing experience.

A full brunch is served on return, followed by a midday siesta, a refreshing swim or waiting for the game to quench their thirst at the waterhole.

High tea is served in the afternoon followed by another exciting game drive. A sundowner drink compliments the African sunset leading to the night drive. Night time brings out the predators and many other nocturnal animals. Spotting nightlife or hearing a lion roar in the distance is an exhilarating experience.

Return to camp to freshen up and enjoy a drink with your ranger to discuss the day's sightings. A sumptuous dinner concludes the day.

Weather permitting, one can enjoy a typical South African braai on the deck over-looking the Monwana riverbed. This is the ideal African way of relaxing around a cozy fire with the sounds of the African nightlife in the distance.

Summers are hot with temperatures peaking around 40 degrees Celcius (Oct - Feb).

Winters are mild with cold mornings/evenings (Mar - Sept).

A warm jacket is required for morning and evening drives.
