Thornybush Game Reserve - Kruger National Park - South Africa

Incredible Big Five Wildlife Experience

Thornybush Private Game Reserve, also known as Thornybush Private Nature Reserve is located within the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa. Thornybush was the first private reserve to be incporporated into Greater Kruger National Park. The Thornybush Game Reserve is hope to Africa's Big Five and a variety of other amazing African wildlife species, it has a near perfect year round climate and consistency of game viewing, making Thornybush a perfect destination for a family safari.

Southern African countries like Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa have been opening their borders on boundaries where conservation areas meet, to allow wildlife free passage between countries.

This new freedom of movement creates vast tracts of land where governments, wildlife management and environmentalists cooperate to help conserve wildlife ecosystems for generations to come.

In a similar vein, Thornybush Private Game Reserve has taken down the fences along the Timbavati boarder – which is unfenced on its Kruger boundary. This means that the 14 500 hectare wilderness of Thornybush, is now part of the Greater Kruger National Park.

This decision took a long time to come into effect, but has had positive results for guests on safari at Thornybush, as well as the local wildlife.
