An architectural masterpiece the five bedroom Kubili House in Thornybush Game Reserve is perfect for groups and families wanting something different on a family safari to South Africa’s best private reserve. This is one of the most highly sought after private and opulent sole use safari lodges in the Greater Kruger National Park region in the spectacular Thornybush Game Reserve in South Africa’s Limpopo Province. Exclusively private and oozing luxury, Kubili House epitomizes the ultimate African safari lodge – a private residence that sleeps only ten people in style.
Located on the largest dam in the Thornybush Reserve, animal activity is a given constant at this permanent water hole – loved by all visitors to Kubili House. Call on your personal game ranger and tracker to take you on game drives or guided walks at any time.
It is difficult to describe a lodge that is so huge and so modern and so lavish because it defies all description. Part of Kubuli House reflects the rocky landscape and promotes an aura of ancient times, an earthly and earthy place of rest; the other part of it seems to be lighter and very modern, to reflect feeling of freedom and being here now. It’s a pergola of sorts that encourages guests to be on the level of living things, not above anything but eye to eye.
Suffice it to say that Kubili House is decadent – showcasing a safari lifestyle like never before – 5 bedrooms, 3 swimming pools, a spa with steam room, a private safari vehicle and 3 fully equipped camping vehicles. This grand homestead with a difference covers an enormous 26 900 feet of floor space! In the bush!
Yes, this is a boutique hotel in the bush and you get your own chefs, butler, game ranger and tracker – you get camping, game drives, walks in the reserve, wellness programs, archery and more. The high-ceilinged suites are a never-ending source of quintessential amenities from the enormous deep bathtub and shower to the wooden canopied bed and the art, the collectible valuable furniture just everything. Stone walls blend into the dam reflection and hide the extent of the interior beyond.
Book Kubuli if you have the wherewithal, the panache and the eye for the artistic detail. And don’t forget why you came – to see the wildlife and the magnificent landscape of the famous Kruger National Park!
Welcome to Kubuli House, the most luxurious of all our safari lodges in Thornybush and the Greater Kruger National Park region. Privacy counts and sophisticated attention from personal staff creates an exceptional atmosphere. Thornybush is a delightful private game reserve that offers more than just the Big 5 game viewing experience to its regal guests. It is also a conservation-oriented place of preservation and hope.
Game drives from Kubili House take guests into the more than 12 000 ha of pristine African bushveld to look for some of the 147 mammals, 114 reptiles, 507 birds, 49 fish, 34 amphibians and 336 trees. This is the perfect all year-round Kruegr safari destination of constant sunny days and warm breezes. Thornybush Private Reserve borders Kruger along an unfenced boundary. The wildlife sightings exceptional and are some of the best in Africa.
The motto at Kubili House? “If you’re not blown away you don’t pay!” Take that! The idea here is to soak up the environment, live in the moment and remember that all the little spaces in your day mean a lot. Spend them in sheer lavish comfort here and take a few nights away from this too to the bushveld to camp beneath the stars and know that such wealth is just part of the privilege, not forever.
Enjoy the hugeness of the rooms, the beds, the baths the couches and the art details. There are 5 bedrooms, 3 swimming pools, a spa with steam room, a private safari vehicle, and more. Take pictures, but most of all, enjoy where you are now, in the pool, on the deck, in the spa or just laying on your bed. Dreaming.
