Thornybush<\/a> is an 11,500 hectare fenced reserve just west of Timbavati and the Greater Kruger Park. Whilst the reserve is fenced off from the neighbouring reserves and Kruger, there is still a very high density of animals, including all of the Big 5. With the mountains of the nearby Drakensberg Escarpment providing a magnificent backdrop, this is a truly magical part of Africa. <\/p>\n
