Fantastic place for a bushveld getaway. Hospitality and friendliness of staff were top quality.

Fantastiese plek vir bosveld wegbreek. Gasvryheid en vriendelikheid van personeel was van topgehalte.

Peace and quiet. Souls at peace. Fully equipped glam tent. Clean and tidy. Outdoor shower and a dream bath with a view. Fantastic staff. Plenty of wildlife and birds. Right in the bush. Roads are good. Close enough for a real relaxing weekend. Safe feeling. Night sounds and stars together with a hot tub ensure a wonderful restful time. Afrikaans.

Peace and quiet. Siels rustig. Volle toegeruste glam tent. Skoon en netjies. Buitelug stort en 'n droom bad met 'n view. Fantastiese personeel. Genoeg wild en voëls. Reg in die bos. Paaie is goed. Naby genoeg vir 'n regte relaxing naweek. Veilige gevoel. Naggeluide en sterre saam 'n hot tub verseker 'n heerlike rus tyd. Afrikaans.

Thank you very much for the nice feedback "Peace of mind" – there are probably no nicer words for us to hear. We are so glad you enjoyed the forest, the wildlife, the stars, the silence and of course the hot tub. Our team works hard to keep the camp clean, tidy and special, so we will definitely share your nice words with them. Thank you for becoming part of our little piece of bushveld – we hope to welcome you again around the fire soon Greetings Rodney, Elzabé & the Thorn Tree team

Baie dankie vir die mooi terugvoer "Siels rustig" – daar is seker nie mooier woorde vir ons om te hoor nie. Ons is so bly julle het die bos, die wild, die sterre, die stilte en natuurlik die hot tub geniet. Ons span werk hard om die kamp skoon, netjies en spesiaal te hou, so ons sal beslis julle mooi woorde met hulle deel. Dankie dat julle deel geword het van ons klein stukkie bosveld – ons hoop om julle weer binnekort rondom die vuur te verwelkom Groete Rodney, Elzabé & die Thorn Tree span

Affordable accommodation in nature surrounded by lots of wildlife - fantastic! We had a blast. The place is beautiful and the wildlife was abundant around the camp. We were lucky to have 2 rhinos visit right at our place. Timothy helped us with our luggage and was available for anything else - day or night - if we needed him. Very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. Very good value for money.

Bekostigbare verblyf binne in die natuur omring met baie wild - fantasties! Ons het ons gate uitgeniet. Die plek is pragtig en die wild was vollop rondom die kamp. Ons was bevoorreg om 'n kuier van 2 renosters reg by ons plekkie te hê. Timothy het ons mooi gehelp met ons bagasie en was beskikbaar vir enigiets anders - dag en nag - as ons hom dalk nodig sou kry. Baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons sal definitief weer gaan draai maak. Baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and for taking the time to share it. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much and that nature also did its part – two rhinos stopping by your place is definitely something special! Thank you also for the kind words about Timothy. Our staff pride themselves on always going that extra mile, and I will definitely share your feedback with him. We look forward to welcoming you back to Thorn Tree Bush Camp for some more unforgettable bush memories. Best regards, Rodney & Elzabé and Thorn Tree Bush Camp Team

Baie dankie vir die wonderlike terugvoer en dat julle die tyd geneem het om dit te deel. Dit maak ons opreg bly om te hoor dat julle die kuier so geniet het en dat die natuur ook sy deel gedoen het – twee renosters wat kom inloer by julle plekkie is beslis iets besonders! Baie dankie ook vir die mooi woorde oor Timothy. Ons personeel is trots daarop om altyd daardie ekstra bietjie moeite te doen, en ek sal beslis julle terugvoer met hom deel. Ons sien uit daarna om julle weer by Thorn Tree Bush Camp te verwelkom vir nog 'n paar onvergeetlike bosherinneringe. Groete, Rodney & Elzabé en Thorn Tree Bush Camp span

Comfortable and relaxing stay at Paperbark Cottage. We had a comfortable stay at Paperbark Cottage for 3 nights. We were on self-drives for most of the day, also visiting restaurants and curio shops throughout Dinokeng, but when we got back, we weren't lacking anything. We also had a giraffe, warthogs and impala just outside the fence in front of the cottage around sunset on different days. Just a heads-up: remember to consider Dinokeng's conservation and self-drive fees, which are often only made clear once your booking has been made. These fees amounted to an additional R700.00 for the duration of our stay.

Thank you for your kind review — we’re so glad you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed those special sunset wildlife sightings! Just to clarify, the conservation and self-drive fees are set and collected by the Dinokeng Game Reserve and are separate from our accommodation rates, as they go towards maintaining the reserve. We’re also looking at ways to make this information more visible during the booking process. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
