Thornybush Game Reserve

Stretching across nearly 25,000 acres of land, Thornybush Game Reserve is located in the eastern Lowveld area, just west of the world-famous Kruger National Park. Like its well-known neighbor, the private game reserve has an abundance of wildlife to behold. The area attracts the "Big Five" -- lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffaloes, along with giraffes, antelope and cheetahs.

Offering day and night safaris, the game reserve allows its visitors to go off-road and be among the wildlife either in an open 4x4 vehicle or on foot accompanied by a ranger.
