Monwana lies deep in the heart of Thornybush Nature Reserve where the dry bed of the seasonal Monwana River snakes its way past a grove of tamboti trees.

The experienced staff are a huge part of the lodge’s welcoming charm and relaxed atmosphere, with spectacular game drives and traditional South African home-style meals forming part of the package. Chef Mameluke has been with Monwana for over 15 years and creates simple but wholesome meals – her recipes are a hot commodity here!

Monwana Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy the African bush and surrounding splendour at your own pace, whether it be in the main areas of the lodge, from the pool, or from your own private veranda. Whatever your safari experience, Monwana specialises in granting guests an immersive experience in the bush characterised by classic South African hospitality.
