Thornybush Main Lodge : Game Viewing

On arrival at Thornybush Main Lodge you will be met by your ranger and or lodge manager who will explain the programme to you. You will spend the duration of your visit at the lodge with this ranger. A specially modified four wheel drive vehicle designed to carry between 6 and 10 guests is used to bring you to within close proximity of Africa's big game including the big 5.

The capabilities of the vehicle are such that it is able to traverse fairly rough terrain, with the exception of ecologically sensitive areas particularly after rain. The vehicle does not have a roof or sides and allows for maximum all-round visibility. You could find yourself getting close to big game, this should not alarm you provided you observe the basic do's and don't's as discussed by your ranger prior to and during your safari.
