Private Vehicle Safaris

Activity Overview

Game viewing at your own pace

Experience Thornybush at your own pace with a private safari vehicle, complete with a dedicated guide and tracker team.

Offering the ultimate in flexibility and exclusivity, a private safari allows each game drive to be tailored to your interests. Whether you’re a passionate photographer, avid birder, travelling with family, or simply prefer a more personalised experience, your guide will shape the day around what matters most to you.

Spend longer at memorable sightings, follow a particular species, enjoy an unhurried sunrise coffee stop, or explore the reserve at a pace that suits your group. With the full attention of your guide and tracker, every drive becomes a more immersive and rewarding wilderness experience.

Private vehicles are particularly popular with families, multi-generational groups, wildlife photographers, and guests celebrating special occasions, offering the freedom to create a safari that is uniquely your own.
