Flying solo? This 4 night safari in South Africa's Big 5 Thornybush Reserve offers no single supplement. It's the best of both worlds, where you can join the staff and other guests on game drives, at hosted meals and at pre-dinner drinks around the camp fire, whilst also luxuriating in 'me' time, in the form of spa treatments, and lounging on your private deck enjoying the views. You have the freedom of choice to spend your holiday the way you want to and move at your own pace.
Travel in total safety, rest assured that you will be met right off the plane at Hoedspruit Airport and taken to the reserve, where you will feel very much at home, free of worries to enjoy the best of the wildlife and scenery.
Sharing a fenceless border with the Kruger National Park, the private Thornybush Reserve has a steady stream of free-roaming Big 5 and other wildlife. On game drives and bush walks there are consistent sightings of Africa's iconic animals, all brought to life by the expert guide-and-tracker teams who have a true understanding of the environment with an inherent knack for finding the action. End off your afternoon game drive enjoying a well-earned sundowner drink with your guide and other guests.
Thornybush Waterside Lodge sits on a large body of water which is often visited by hippos and in the dry season, large herds of elephants and buffalo. Your thatched suite with private patio, offers a perfect place to relax between game drives. There's also a pool to cool off in. In the evenings, share stories around the fire-pit, dine on traditional dinners hosted under the candle-lit trees and return to a luxuriating bathtub accompanied by soundtrack of cicadas.
