Embark on a remarkable 3-day adventure at Jock Safari Lodge, immersing yourself in the untamed wilderness of Kruger National Park, where thrilling game drives and luxurious accommodations await.
Thornybush Nature Reserve is a 14 000-hectare private reserve that shares a fenceless border with the Kruger National Park. Big 5 encounters, with lion and leopard sightings in particular, entice guests while the total diversity of wildlife made Thornybush emerge as a leading safari destination. Passionate and expert guide-and-tracker teams introduce this to guests so that you leave with a genuine understanding of the entire ecosystem. The thatched main area speaks of sophistication in the design and layout, and overlooks a waterhole and riverbed often visited by elephants, buffalo and other large game. The classic lower deck is flanked by an open dining area and a beautiful bar while 20 luxurious suites fan out from the main area.
Rejuvenate your senses and become one with nature in the African bush at the tranquil riverfront setting of Karongwe River Lodge. Here you share the environment with the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant) as well as many other creatures you may encounter on an open vehicle game drive. You will never forget the ambience of a sundowner as the sun sets over the majestic Drakensberg Mountains and the scenic environment will provide many photographic opportunities. Game drives and bird watching will come alive with experienced and qualified game rangers and Shangaan trackers.
Stay in luxury family-friendly accommodation at the largest safari resort in the reserve; starting and ending your day with outstanding Big 5 wildlife sightings on long game drives in beautiful bushveld surrounds.
The private game reserves that make up the Greater Kruger are unfenced, and the wildlife region shares an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park. You’re guaranteed outstanding wildlife sightings while enjoying the peace and tranquility of one of the most popular Big 5 safari destinations in South Africa.
