Overview

Monwana Game Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it's a heartfelt embodiment of Africa itself. Located in the private 14,000-hectare Thornybush Game Reserve, part of the expansive Greater Kruger National Park, Monwana offers a sensory journey that promises to be life-changing. Here, the symbiotic relationship between tourism and conservation has created a spectacular wilderness where animals feel safe and respected, inviting you into their sacred kingdom.

At Monwana, you'll enjoy an unhurried Big 5 private safari, with personal and uncrowded encounters in the company of expert guides and trackers. The wildlife density is extraordinary, thanks to the rivers, landscapes, and vegetation. Early morning and late afternoon game drives, along with guided bush walks, provide intimate experiences with the wildlife.

The lodge itself is designed to bring the outside in, with double volume vertical spaces, massive cathedral windows, and wide-open doors that make you feel part of the bush wherever you are. Sociable spaces and private retreats are balanced beautifully in the lodge’s facilities, which include a lounge, bar, wine cellar, wraparound wooden deck, pool area, gym, spa, and safari boutique.

With only 8 rooms and a maximum of 16 guests, Monwana ensures an intimate and private environment. Guests can choose between Suites, Residences (Woodland and Savannah), and the exclusive Monwana Villa, each occupying a unique space in the African bush. The design invites you to feel as if you are alone in this vast natural habitat, whether you're reclining on your deck, taking an open-air shower, or cooling off in your private plunge pool. Every amenity has been personally tested to ensure comfort and luxury.

During your stay, the experience is entirely yours to shape. Socialize at the poolside or bar, enjoy quiet moments of reflection in a swing chair on the deck, or lose yourself in a good book by the fireside in the lounge. Indulge in a private wine tasting in the cellar, a starlit dinner for two, or a personal picnic in a special spot. The spa offers a sanctuary for healing and revitalization, with professional therapists ready to help you relax completely, accompanied only by the sounds of nature.

Monwana Game Lodge is a home for the body, mind, and soul, a place where every detail is crafted to offer an unforgettable stay. Make this exceptional lodge your own, and experience the best of what Africa has to offer.
