Experience the thrill of game tracking and the excitement of a close encounter with Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Buffalo or Leopard.
Thornybush Game Reserve lies adjacent to the
Kruger National Park and as such its 11,500ha of rugged bushveld doesn't actually border Kruger. Nevertheless it does make up part of the
Greater Kruger National Park. With an abundance of bird and mammal species, exceptional game viewing is a virtual guarantee. With rolling lowveld grassland and thick almost impenetrable bush making up the majority of the reserve, it's a good thing that Thornybush's trackers and rangers are reputedly the best in South Africa so they do all the hard searching for you!
And when it come to lodges there are quite a few
exclusive and
luxurious options to choose from. Escape the midday heat with a swim in your lodge's sparkling pool and prepare for another exciting afternoon game drive with a sumptuous feast at lunch-time. Included in our selection of lodges for the Thornybush Game Reserve are a few that are situated in the nearby
Kapama Private Game Reserve, which is equally exclusive and enticing!
