Welcome to Silvan’s Noble Thorn

Knobthorn is a slow-growing, deciduous tree found throughout the Sabi Sand. The name comes from the characteristic knobbly bark, which develops as the tree ages, making it easy to identify.

The soft grey tones of its bark and the fluffy delicate, yellow bloom of its flowers have been elegantly introduced into the design of our Knobthorn Suite.

Inside, you'll find embroideries of the soft bloom, an artwork illustrating a giraffe that loves the Knobthorn’s leaves, as well as the subtle blue-green hues of our bee-eater. The Knobthorn Suite is wheelchair-friendly, providing guests easy access to the main lodge. Journey through the Knobthorn and relish in the restorative energy of this sturdy tree.
