Thornybush Private Game Reserve

Thornybush is one of the private game reserves located in the Greater Kruger National Park‚ in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa‚ the very tip of the African continent. One of the first reserves in Kruger National Park‚ Thornybush’s first lodge started operating in 1961. Today‚ it has many lodges to choose from to suit every visitor’s needs. It borders the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve.

By choosing to stay in a private game reserve‚ you unlock many benefits. The biggest benefit‚ however‚ is not having to share the road with many other vehicles. When on safari at a private game reserve‚ you can venture out in a luxury‚ open-top safari vehicle and will likely never encounter any other vehicles.

This gives you an uncrowded‚ uninterrupted vantage point of the African landscapes and its wildlife. Furthermore‚ the many luxury lodges located in Thornybush caters for a wide range of needs‚ from families to groups of friends and those on a romantic getaway.

Thornybush Private Game Reserve and its lodges also believe in giving back and have initiated a wide range of wildlife projects‚ most notably the first translocation of an elephant from Kruger and introducing leopards into the reserve.

They also do extensive ongoing studies of the endangered pangolin‚ and assisted the first release of black rhino into a Lowveld private reserve.
