THORNYBUSH GAME RESERVE
Thornybush Game Reserve is a private game reserve in Limpopo that shares an unfenced border with the renowned Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa. Thornybush Game Reserve thus forms a part of the recently established Greater Kruger Park, an open conserved area that totals approximately 7 000 000 acres or 23 000 square kilometres.
The reserve is set on riverbeds or overlooking waterholes, and the main purpose is to create out-of-the-ordinary safari experiences for its guests. The reserve is only about an hour’s drive away from two of the main gates to the Kruger National Park and promises to provide an unforgettable safari experience.
Thornybush is located in a mixed woodland eco-zone, which is one of several eco-zones in the lowveld of Limpopo, and the one with the highest variety of fauna and flora.
With regards to wildlife, the area has it all – from excellent opportunities to encounter the members of the Big 5, which include lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard, to a full varied range of other indigenous wildlife. The best way to enjoy this offering of wildlife is by joining several game drives during your visit as these open vehicle safaris are the best way to get even closer to these majestic animals. Under the guidance of experienced and qualified rangers, you may experience more than one such a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Of all the game drive possibilities, night game drives are possibly the most popular and rewarding.
