Overview

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.
