Thornhill Safari Lodge
Portion 144 of the Farm Geurnsey 81 KU, 1380 Guernsey Nature Reserve, South Africa – Great location - show map
We woke up with an ostrich staring at us. Many antilopes nearby. Giraffes are coming close, just a few meters from the hotel entrance. Ostrich and monkeys are roaming free in the lodge area. Seen some big cat paws near the backyard waterhole. So watch out. The viewing deck is great.
