Day 1: Your journey begins with a professional driver
picking you up in Johannesburg in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back
and relax as you embark on the scenic Panorama Route, which includes iconic
landmarks such as God’s Window, Lisbon Falls, and Graskop. All entrance fees

pristine wilderness adjacent to Kruger National Park, is renowned for its
exceptional bush experiences. This haven offers a true escape from the bustling
city life, and Thornybush has earned its reputation for conservation and
hospitality. Your stay here promises to be a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts.
Late afternoon and evening game drives provide excellent
opportunities to spot wildlife in their natural habitat. After the game drive,
return to the lodge for a delicious dinner and enjoy a relaxed evening at your
leisure.
Day 2: Start your day with a cup of coffee before heading
out for a thrilling morning game drive in a 4×4 safari vehicle. Keep your eyes
peeled for the iconic Big Five animals as they awaken and roam through the
reserve. Alternatively, you can choose a morning bush walk for a different
perspective and a closer encounter with the African wilderness.
Upon your return from the safari, a leisurely breakfast will
be served. You’ll have the rest of the morning to unwind at the lodge, catch up
on some sleep, or relax by the pool. Lunch will be served, and you’ll have more
