Photo add on to a Safari

[Spear Safaris]

So many families come on a Hunting trip and forget to see some of the animals in a different way, or go to the Kruger National park and see the game in a way ordinary tourists see them.

We converted our Old Hunting camp, Marula camp, situated on the very well known Thornybush Private Nature Reserve into a fully fledged, and exclusive Photo safaris camp. You will be the only people in camp, making it a hunter friendly environment.

Thornybush is an open system property, meaning that there are no fences between ourselves and the Kruger National park. The biggest advantage here is that you may drive off road in order to approach game closer or you can follow up on foot. If I am your guide, depending on dates, we can do it in a hunting simulating manner, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino, Lion etc. if you want.

It is a Must for anyone coming to South Africa and want a "wilder" experience.

I attach a few pictures of the camp.

Here are some Photos I took on a recent getaway to our Photo camp in Thornybush. This is an amazing area to add on to your Hunting trip, Bring your family the camp is great. Your group is alone in Camp, you do not share with a bunch of Bunny huggers or tourists. You are guided by a Professional hunter, and can get close to animals where you can chat about shot placement or just look at and discuss trophy quality.

Now that sounds fun and lilke a great time for kids and adults. You could stalk something you could otherwise not afford.

This can be a great way to "practice" for a Future Big game hunt. While on the Photo trip, with your family, you will encounter many Elephant, Rhino etc. We get off the Game viewing vehicle and make some approaches, as if we gonna hunt. Once in position we discuss shot placement, Trophy judgement etc. This will make your eventual Elephant hunt so much more enjoyable and successful.

This is a nice addition to a safari, after our safari in 2013 we went to Kruger for 4 days and after 2018 safari we went to Madekwe for 3 days and enjoyed ourselves allot.

What would say are the odds of a decent photo opportunity on lion and leopard on say a 2 day stay?

Wow! That looks and sounds wonderful, Ernest. And your photos are great.

The chances are extremely good, i'd say 85% or more depending on when you come. The last 4 groups I had we saw all of the big 5 in 3 nights stays. With the Lion and Leopard Photo opportunities very good.
I hope this helps.

Once again the Reserve did not disappoint.
