Overview

This four-day safari at Thambo Tree Camp enables you to observe a variety of animal species on foot, including the “big five.”. This safari takes you away from the throng of Kruger National Park while yet allowing you to appreciate the animals. These 60,000 hectares of nature are ideal for a safari away from the crowd. The reserve, created in 1972 as part of the larger Kruger National Park, is one of South Africa’s biggest privately held reserves.
