Thorn Bush Tented Camp is Otjiwa Collection’s safari-style stay for travellers who want the atmosphere of canvas, wide skies and wildlife without giving up thoughtful comfort. Its tented suites sit beside a dry riverbed on the reserve near Otjiwarongo, with private decks, en-suite bathrooms and outdoor showers.
Thorn Bush Tented Camp: a comfortable bush experience
Thorn Bush Tented Camp has 10 spacious luxury tents, including two family tents with adjoining bedrooms and private bathrooms. Each suite has air-conditioning, an en-suite bathroom, a private wooden deck and an outdoor shower. As a result, the camp suits couples, families and friends who want a more immersive accommodation experience.
The camp’s style balances safari charm with practical comfort. You can return from a reserve activity to a private deck, enjoy a shower under the open sky and then meet for a seasonal dinner. The setting is close to nature, yet the accommodation remains well equipped for a relaxed stay.

Dining and activities on the reserve
Thorn Bush Tented Camp follows the collection’s seasonal dining approach, with ingredients inspired by the Montreal Garden. Breakfast, lunch, tea and five-course dinner options are available through the camp’s hospitality offering. However, the final meal plan depends on the rate and booking terms confirmed for your stay.
Otjiwa experiences can include rhino tracking, sundowner game drives, bird and wildlife watching, horseback riding, guided e-bikes, spa treatments, cooking classes and Ombu Village visits. These activities create a fuller bush experience, although they are not included automatically with every accommodation rate.
Location and route planning
Thorn Bush Tented Camp lies on the Otjiwa Collection reserve around 35 kilometres south of Otjiwarongo. It is a convenient addition to routes between Windhoek, the Waterberg region and Etosha. Therefore, it can work particularly well as the first safari-style night after arrival or as a quiet pause before continuing north.
Guests who prefer a different Otjiwa style can compare Eagle’s Rest Lodge, Savanna Luxury Villa and Otjiwa Mountain Lodge. For more choices elsewhere in the country, browse our Namibia accommodation.
