Thornybush is one of the original nature reserves in the Greater Kruger National Park, with Jackalberry Lodge one of its preferred accommodation establishments. In 2017, Thornybush dropped fences between the reserve and the world-famous Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to roam freely across the 14 000-hectare reserve. With a view on the northern escarpment of the Drankensberg mountain range Jackalberry is a place to unwind but also to experience world-class game viewing. The lodge overlooks a nearby waterhole often visited by elephants and antelope, so you can enjoy wildlife sightings even without leaving the comfort of the lodge.

Accommodation options at Jackalberry Lodge comprises seven thatched suites which can all accommodate two guests each and a family unit accommodating up to four people. The family suite has two adjoining suites but is otherwise similar to the other suites. The suites have a home-away-from-home feel and come with a private deck, inside and outside showers and a large bath. Classic safari decor with comfortable, modern furnishings adds some local flair. The private veranda is ideal for casual game-viewing or relaxing and the vicinity of the suites allows guests privacy and space while still being close to the lodge’s main area.
