About Thorn Tree Bush Camp
Thorn Tree Bush Camp offers guests camp site accommodation in an ideal destination for those who love nature. We can be found inside the borders of the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve and are close to Pretoria, Bela Bela, Tswhane and about 100km away from OR Tambo International Airport.
During your stay you can immerse yourself in the wilderness around you and enjoy the bright stars, the sounds of the animals and the stunning sunsets and sunrises. Our watering holes lure many animals into the camp for a drink and here you will be able to spot a variety of animals and birds.
Self Catering Accommodation
We offer you a variety of accommodation and camping options, for hassle free camping, whether a short or long stay. Options range from two-man to eight-man tent camps, or pick one of our bush campsites (with its own private bathroom) if you'd rather prefer your own equipment.
Each tent camp has its own charm, a kitchenette, and own braai, not to mention a cosy firepit for those crackling fire side camping stories.
Each camp's name is derived from an indigenous plant/tree/animal and set up to enhance your bushveld experience – drift off to sleep in a canvas tent listening to the bushveld's amazing night life: these may include frogs, insects, lions, hyena, and Africa's famous animals.
Tent camps have fire-pits and/or braaiers with equipped kitchenettes, bedding and bath towels are included. Please bring swimming towels with, as that is not provided, to enjoy our cold-water swimming pool.
The Area
We have a small 'mall' with a liquor store, bakery, basic grocery store and fuel station about 5km from us. Mystic Monkeys and Feathers is a must visit as is the Carousel Casino for those who like to gamble.
During your stay you can enjoy picnicking, dining at great restaurants, boat cruises, game drives, bush walks, microlight flights and much more.
