Overview

Thornybush is one of the original nature reserves in the Greater Kruger National Park, with Jackalberry Lodge one of its preferred accommodation establishments. In 2017, Thornybush dropped fences between the reserve and the world-famous Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to roam freely across the 14 000-hectare reserve. With a view on the northern escarpment of the Drankensberg mountain range Jackalberry is a place to unwind but also to experience world-class game viewing. The lodge overlooks a nearby waterhole often visited by elephants and antelope, so you can enjoy wildlife sightings even without leaving the comfort of the lodge.
