Thornybush Kruger National Park South Africa African Buffalo

Thornybush, once a fenced reserve ensuring the presence of numerous large mammals, restricted wildlife movement between the reserve and Kruger. This limited its wilderness appeal. However, with the fences now removed, Thornybush takes its place among the finest private reserves in the Kruger area.

It boasts top-end lodges, acclaimed guides, and an above-average probability of spotting cheetahs, in addition to other flagship species. This transformation enhances the reserve's standing, offering a more authentic and immersive safari experience for visitors.
