Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : -24.410446, 31.172318 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : All the Big 5 (elephants, rhinos, buffalo, lions and leopards) but also graceful giraffes, the agile gazelles, the timid zebras and many other animals such as warthog, hyenas, licaone, hippopotami, monkeys, baboons etc...

Recommended equipment : The Rangers manage to get very close to the animals, the 70-200 is ultra-recommended for most situations, take away an Extender or a 100-400 for more difficult subjects (birds and various)

Best months : The best time is between September and October given the end of winter, and the vegetation is not yet flourishing and you can sight and photograph better animals

How to get there : The reserve is a 30-minute drive from Hoedspruit Airport and 6-7 hours from Johannesburg Airport

Visits : Being a private reserve you cannot enter if you are not staying in one of the lodges located within the reserve

Notes : The private reserve of Thornybush is bordering, without any kind of barrier, with the Kruger National Park. Inside there are experienced Rangers (some Italian speakers), who know how to describe you and show you all the beauties of the place.
