About Thorn Tree Bush Camp - Accommodation

Thorn Tree Bush Camp is 4 star graded (TGCSA) and located inside the Dinokeng Game Reserve in Hammanskraal, Gauteng, is for the true nature lover where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature, where the stars are brighter at night, where lion roars, jackal bark, bush babies cry, owls screeches and the insects sing and much more are often heard at night.
We have 12 Tented Bush Camps ranging from 2 - 8 sleepers. We also have 2 family size campsites at the main camp and 6 wilderness campsites for self sufficient campers in a unfenced part of the park.

For those who like a more relaxed stay, where you can get closer to the sounds of nature, we have the Fever Tree Tent which accommodates two people.

Then for those of you that like a breakaway with your friends and/or family, we have the Wag-'n-Bietjie tented camp for you, it can accommodate eight people.

If you do not want to share or have a bigger group, book the whole camp it accommodates 38 people sharing in the Bush Tents, maximum 20 campers on the 2 family stands and maximum 24 campers in our wilderness Campsite area.

Get away from the hustle and bustle of busy city life, enjoy a braai under the stars with the sounds of the wild surrounding you, or take a game drive to view the BIG 5. Enjoy our beautiful sunrises and sunsets that colour the skies above with a palet of brilliant colours.

                                                  Elzabe really went out of het way to make us comfortable, even upgraded us to a larger tent to accomodate our largr family - free of charge.Rodney gave up part of his Christmas to tow us out of mud we got stuck in and did so with a smile. Staff are exceptional!Its a pitty we didnt see any of the big 5 as the kids were really looking forward to it but maybe next time. Thank you to all of the staff of making our stay so pleasant.

                                                  Not sure what the one reviewer was talking about when they said there were no tents? We had no problems at all, you book a tent and get a tent. Ours was comfortable, clean and well maintained. The site is great and so are the staff. Rodney and Elzabe help to make for a very enjoyable stay.
