THORNYBUSH Nature
Reserve has begun
removing its eastern
boundary fence with the
Timbavati, a process that
should be complete by early
May.
According to Thornybush
Luxury Game Lodge
Collection’s md, Nic Griffin,
as Timbavati is unfenced to
the Kruger National Park, the
removal will make the
14 500-hectare Thornybush
also open to the Greater KNP.
“This has been part of the
grand plan for this popular
reserve for some time.”
Nic says the alteration
has been applauded by
conservationists and should
integrate poaching security.
The dropping of the fence will
allow increased freedom of
movement for animal species
and a richer game-viewing
experience for guests at 11 of
the 12 lodges in the collection;
one of them, Simbambili, is in
the northern Sabi Sand.
