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 image features an intricately designed lounge chair with a grey fabric adorned with a tree pattern and a bright yellow cushion, set in a luxurious lodge environment.
This image features a stylized illustration of a tree against a circular yellow background.

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.
