What our travellers think of their stay
Thornybush is one of the private reserves which adjoins Kruger Park, one of the most expensive in the world and one of the oldest in South Africa, reserved for those staying in the luxury lodges (external vehicles aren't permitted).
My suggestion
Head there during the dry season, because when the grass is short it's a lot easier to see the animals, and they tend to move more to head to rare watering holes.
This is one of several private game reserves that lie adjacent to each other in the Kruger National Park. It is also both one of the most expensive in the world and one of the oldest in South Africa, and access to it is exclusively reserved for those staying in the luxury lodges (no external vehicles are permitted).
My suggestion
Visit during the dry season when the grass is short and it's a lot easier to see the animals.
