Here are the details of your Thornybush Tented Safari:

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 are included in the package, and there will be stops along the way for comfort breaks and photo opportunities.

Upon arrival at Tangala Safari Camp, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the friendly lodge staff. Take some time to settle in and rest before embarking on an exciting afternoon game drive.

Thornybush Nature Reserve, spanning over 14,000 hectares of 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 time to rejuvenate before embarking on an afternoon/sunset safari drive with your knowledgeable guide.

Experience the magical sunset in the bush before returning to the lodge for a delectable dinner. The evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure.

Day 3: Rise early for another exhilarating morning game drive, giving you another chance to spot elusive wildlife. Return to the lodge for breakfast and check-out. Our driver will be ready to transfer you back to Johannesburg via Nelspruit. If you prefer, arrangements can be made for you to fly in and out of Nelspruit (KMIA) instead of being transferred to Johannesburg.
