Property information

Thorn Tree Bush Camp is 4 star TGCSA graded and located inside Dinokeng Game Reserve. We bought it as a weekend breakaway, which was also within a comfortable travel distance from the city. After staying here for a couple of times, we decided that we would like to share our little piece of Bushveld with others. It is peaceful, tranquil and relaxing for a weekend and longer. Thorn Tree Bush Camp is about 100 km from OR Tambo International Airport and about 60km from Pretoria.
