Thorn Tree Bush Camp is located in Dinokeng Game Reserve, free-roaming Big 5, and malaria-free reserve, in Hammanskraal, Gauteng. This camp is for the true nature lover where guests can enjoy the tranquillity of nature. The stars are brighter at night, where lion roars, jackal bark, bushbabies cry, owls screech and the insects sing and much more can often be heard at night.

The accommodation comprises of 1 cottage and several unique tented camps to choose from.

Sit back and relax around your private fire pit, watch the stars, listen to the sounds of nature, and enjoy being in the bush. Make use of the large pool, to cool off in those hot summer days. The large boma is ideal for evenings in front of a bonfire surrounded by the sounds of nature; it can also be used for a braai or making your own potjies on a bigger scale.

There are no TVs in the camp; however, for those concerned about missing a game, nearby restaurants, pubs, and bars within the reserve are equipped with TVs.

There is also a small shop where guests can purchase firewood, ice, firelighters, ice cream, snacks, cold drinks, and other basic items.

House rules
Thorn Tree Bush Camp is located within the Dinokeng Big Five Game Reserve and must adhere to the reserve's rules and regulations. Guests who violate these rules may be asked to leave the reserve without a refund and may face significant fines.

Check-in is between 15:00 and 19:00 during summer and until 18:00 in winter. Late check-ins are at the lodge's discretion and incur an additional fee. Check-ins are not accepted after 20:00; guests arriving after this time will need to check in the following morning, and no refunds will be provided. Check-out time is 10:00 on the day of departure.

Strict noise regulations are enforced, with no music or loud conversations allowed. Lights out is at midnight, and no fireside discussions are permitted after this time.

For groups of eight or more, a breakage deposit is required, which will be refunded within 7 days after the stay, provided there are no damages, breakages, or extra cleaning required. Guests are encouraged to contact reception with any queries before finalizing their booking, as it is assumed that all group members have read and accepted the rules and requirements of both the Dinokeng Game Reserve and Thorn Tree Bush Camp upon confirmation of the booking.

All fires must be properly extinguished before retiring for the night, and they should never be left unattended. During the high fire season from August to October, a total fire ban may be enforced due to dry and windy conditions, in accordance with national fire safety regulations.

Guests with existing medical conditions should ensure they carry necessary medications for their safety. Important medical information, including emergency contacts and medical numbers, should be kept on hand in case of an emergency.

Pool safety is a priority, and parents are responsible for their children's safety as there is no lifeguard on duty. Glass products are strictly prohibited in and around the swimming pool area, and running or shouting is not permitted. Music is not allowed anywhere in the camp.

For general safety, the perimeter fence is electrified to keep wildlife out. Guests must not touch the electric fence, as it can cause serious harm or injury.

Cutting down trees or shrubs for firewood is prohibited; any needed wood, kindling, or firelighters can be obtained from a staff member.

Feeding, capturing, or disturbing any animals, reptiles, birds, or insects is strictly forbidden.

Guests are expected to leave ablution facilities as they found them and report any issues to reception. All sanitary and foreign items must be disposed of in the provided bins, and guests should not use the toilets, as the facilities are connected to septic tanks.
