Welcome

to the award winning Thorndale Safari

Five Star Hunting lodge

When only the best will do.

Who we are

Before the 2001 purchase Thorndale farm (as it was known then) held three title deeds and the land was used for sheep and goat farming. The existing farm was transformed from livestock farming to a Hunting Ranch, and today comprises a total area of just over 5000 hectares (13 000 acres) of pristine hunting terrain.

Thorndale Safari is world-renowned for its top quality trophies, which include the East Cape Kudu, Blue Wildebeest, Gemsbuck, Impala and other species. With over 40 species to hunt and more than 2000 antelope on our ranch, game is in abundance and gives the hunter a real African hunting experience at its very best.
