Days 2 - 3: Thornybush Game Reserve

The morning game drive starts at sunrise. You will be woken up before sunrise for tea and coffee before the game drive starts. Then you are off for 3 hours to find as many animals as possible before they all find trees to hide under in the heat of the day.

When the game drive returns to the lodge, you will be served a big cooked breakfast and have time to relax. You can sit by the pool, read a book, take a nap and just absorb being out in the bush.

The afternoon game drive will start around 16:00, after high tea. It will last for +-3 hours, with a stop somewhere for sundowners. You will return to the lodge in the dark, with a spotlight to look for nocturnal animals

Day 4: End of Itinerary

After your last morning game drive and bush breakfast, you will be transferred back to Hoedspruit Airport for your flight to your next destination. We will be happy to help with any add-on holiday plans, including Cape Town and Victoria Falls
