There’s a certain feeling that comes over you when you enter Thornybush Nature Reserve. The air seems fresher, the light softer, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze carries the promise of something extraordinary. This 14,000-hectare reserve, part of the world-famous Greater Kruger, is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets - a place where history, conservation, and wilderness meet. In this latest blog, we share a little about this special place we like to call ‘home’.

From playful pounces to tree-top tumbles, our guests shared a truly magical moment with the Guernsey pride’s youngest members. With a lion cub boom underway across Thornybush, sightings like these are becoming even more special. Join us as we reflect on a golden afternoon in the bush - and celebrate the rise of a new lion dynasty at Shimungwe.
