Thornybush Game Lodge

Thornybush Game Lodge is the flagship property of the Thornybush Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger, a 14,000-hectare unfenced wilderness adjacent to the Kruger National Park with free-roaming Big Five wildlife and the exclusive open-vehicle game drives, night drives, and guided bush walks that set private reserves apart from the national park. The lodge's 12 thatched suites are built in the African bush aesthetic with private plunge pools and outdoor showers.

Thornybush's combination of exceptional guiding (with some of the Greater Kruger's most experienced field guides), all-inclusive format, and consistently high wildlife sightings, leopard in particular, which the reserve manages with exceptional success, make it one of the recommended South Africa safari starting points on Saringi Tours' Southern Africa itineraries.
