Siviti was and is very special ! By Gelle` Ritchie 14 September 2021

If Thornybush Private Nature Reserve is on your list of travel destinations, then Siviti is certainly a lodge well worth considering for your stay.

 On arrival, all staff members were lined up outside the attractive lodge entrance and welcomed us with friendly waves and big smiles. This hearty welcome lingered throughout our stay and it soon became evident that the staff at Siviti take pride in their individual roles and work together as a team to make their guests feel at home and pampered. Chef Prince and his talented kitchen team prepare exquisite meals which are sure to tantalise the tastebuds of guests from around the globe. The six well-appointed guest suites are stylishly furnished and promise privacy and comfort. You can enjoy the bush from your private deck, plunge pool, outdoor shower or bathtub.

 The majestic cry of a Fish Eagle got us up for the early morning game drives. Under the guidance of our superpro and knowledgeable guide, Sean and our experienced tracker, Abet, we managed to see the big 5 during our two day stay at Siviti. The bushveld scenery and game are abundant, the safari vehicles comfortable and the spread of refreshments offered on the drive simply lovely!

As the night sky settled in, we fell asleep to the chainsaw like sounds of leopards and the laughter of hyenas in the distance which all added to the thrill of this unforgettable bush experience.

Lodges like Siviti have soul. Here guests can truly experience peace and marvel at the splendour of what the African bush has to offer.
