Looking for an African Game Lodge Expereince?

When most people picture a South African Game Lodge, most think about five star comfort in beautiful accommodations set in a picturesque nature setting. Until very recently, South Africa’s natural beauty was closed off to international visitors, but now that has changed. Recent figures show that South Africa now hosts more than a million foreign tourists each year. The local tourism industry is also on the rise, and there are plenty of companies ready and able to cater for this growing market.

There are many other uses for lodges than a mere holiday. Businesses have recognized the potential fun and exciting ways to host a conference and a trend in holding weddings at lodges has also taken root. Holding a conference at a game lodge can turn any boring conference into an enjoyable event. Group activities and team building exercises such as obstacle courses and drumming sessions and bush orientations are merely some of the happenings that will keep conference goers entertained. These and other activities can be added to a conference’s agenda, or be presented as standalone activities and events. The possibilities are quite literally limitless when you decide to hold your event at a South African lodge.

Elements which contribute to a South African lodge’s popularity include the chance to come face to face with Africa’s Big Five animals, which are the Buffalo, the Leopard, the Lion, the Elephant and the Rhino. Marvellous game drives and exciting open back safaris and bush walk are presented by experienced and qualified guides and rangers, which assures guests of the best experience. Onsite world class spas allow for a proper retreat from the urban life and let you partake in much needed relaxation.

For a fun family holiday, conference venue of beautiful game lodge wedding, visit Thorny Bush’s user friendly website where you will easily be able to confirm your booking.
