Day 1

Guernsey Private Nature Reserve

Guernsey Private Nature Reserve

Departing Johannesburg, we make our way to the Greater Kruger National Park where our Safari adventure begins. After travelling through the Highveld farmlands, we descend the Drakensberg Escarpment and into the Lowveld.

We arrive at Thornhill Safari Lodge in time for a delicious lunch. After some relaxation time, we go on a late afternoon Big Five game drive in an open 4x4 Safari vehicle in one of the neighbouring Private Reserves. We take a break for Sundowner drinks and snacks at one of the waterholes before continuing our game drive into the night.

Located within the Guernsey Private Nature Reserve, Thornhill offers comfortable accommodation in authentic thatched roof chalets. Vibrant fabrics and local hardwood furniture all create that rustic yet stylish bush atmosphere. Sit back and relax in our Bar/Lounge area or sip cocktails around the swimming pool and treetop viewing deck overlooking the Drakensberg Mountain Range and never-ending wilderness.
