Summary

Join Nick on a luxury 2-night/3-day getaway to 5-star Thanda Private Game Reserve. Compared to the provincial game reserves where we do our day trips, private game reserves definitely offer much higher chances of not only seeing the Big-5, but also of getting great photos of them. This because at private game reserves there are more roads, and they allow off road driving so they can park close to the animals.
