With garden views, Monkey Thorn Guest Lodge is located in White River and has a restaurant, a shared lounge, bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Monkey Thorn Guest Lodge in White River. Rooms were huge and beds absolutely comfortable. We had dinner and breakfast twice and our whole family was blown away by the excellent service we received from the dedicated staff, especially from MC, who always went the extra mile and fulfilled every one of your wishes instantly. Many thanks again, MC! Food was delicious and we were really glad we'd decided to eat at the lodge. We would have stayed longer if we could have and we really hope to stay there again some time near. You really won't find a better place to stay at!

    Muluwa is an absolute gem to visit. You experience such beautiful scenery and the whole vibe of the lodge is tranquil. The dinner and breakfast included is phenomenal as well - a whole 3 course meal for dinner! The staff were all exceptional and so friendly and accommodating. We also saw a wide range of animals on our 1 hour safari we booked. Highly recommend!
