We depart Johannesburg and head for the Greater Kruger National Park where our safari adventure begins.

We arrive at Thornhill Safari Lodge in time for a delicious lunch.

After some relaxation time, we venture out on a late afternoon/evening Big Five game drive in open 4x4 safari vehicle in one of the neighbouring private reserves. Sundowner drinks and snacks are enjoyed at one of the waterholes en-route, enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of the African bushveld before continuing our game drive into the night.
