Thornybush Game Reserve

The 14,000-hectare reserve shares an unfenced border with Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to move freely across natural landscapes.

The establishment of Thornybush in 1955 marked the beginning of wildlife conservation efforts, leading to numerous species reintroductions over subsequent decades.

Rangers guide visitors through encounters with African wildlife while sharing knowledge about local ecosystems and conservation practices.

Visitors can access the reserve by road or air travel, with regular transfers operating from Eastgate Airport for national and international guests.

The reserve contains multiple luxury lodges overlooking waterholes where elephants, buffalo, and other wildlife gather throughout the day.
