Serondella Game Lodge is a 5-star, family-centric boutique safari lodge set in the private Thornybush Reserve in the Greater Kruger Park. It envelopes one of the most active waterholes in Thornybush and delivers exciting game drives with its award-winning guides.
Each of the lodge’s suites is privately situated in its own tranquil space. There are 2 one-bedroom suites, a two-bedroom family suite and the self-contained “Willem’s Den” a three-bedroom family suite.

The lodge’s facilities are sprawled along the edge of the waterhole and following a small, dry riverbed. They include a lounge, indoor dining area, viewing deck with rim-flow pool, a gym, and a bush spa. There’s also a boma for meals under the stars, a fire pit for story sharing and an evening bar set up under the trees.
