Perfect Safari with Thorn Bush Safaris
Michelle was so great and helpful, it was perfectly organized - the pick-up in Johannesburg, the transfer to our lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve and our stay in the Etali Safari Lodge. The staff was very nice and friendly. Our trip was just perfect! I would like to recommend Thorn Bush Safaris to everyone!

Amazing experience!
Michelle organised our safari to Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta (Botswana) in March 2017. We had a wonderful time, saw lots of game (including a leopard with two cubs, lions, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, hippos and lots more) and really enjoyed the experience. The accommodation, food and activities were all fantastic.
I was a little nervous about booking and paying for our trip online, but I had nothing to worry about… The trip was seamless, with everything going exactly to plan. Michelle was professional and helpful, and everything was organised easily via email.
I would definitely recommend Thorn Bush Safaris!

Michelle is fantastic
Can't say enough good things about Michelle, she is so prompt and really helped fit my parameters for a safari in the Okavango Delta. Everything was done easily over email :)

Simple to arrange, everything went entirely according to plan
Found our safari through Safari bookings and then selected Thorn Bush as the agent to book a mixed Sabi Sands and Kruger experience. The safari itself was with Tydon Safaris. Organisation with Michelle at Thornbush all worked perfectly including some relatively complex logistics on arrival. Safari itself was great - had our big 5 all done within 18 hours of arriving !

Excellent!!!
Michelle at Thorn Bush Safaris did a great job planning our safari. She took the ideas we had for a safari and made the best recommendations for the itinerary and activities. We spent two nights in Victoria falls and four nights in Botswana. Each of the lodges chosen were different from each other and gave us different experiences. All of the planning was seamless and we never felt disconnected from the planning. The flight we had scheduled out of Botswana was discontinued and before the airline ever let us know, Michelle was already contacting us and contacting the airline on our behalf. Thorn Bush Safaris was amazing!

Our trip was excellent - well-managed, excellent guides, great drives and very good accommodation.
The whole safari holiday was very well done. The booking agent (Michelle) gave great advice and guidance. The travel arrangements went like clockwork, and the tented accomodation was really comfortable, with great food and a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The safari drives and walks were superb, with very knowledgable guides who were really enthusiastic and keen for us to see and learn as much as possible. Unreservedly recommended.

Luxurious Safari
Thorn Bush Safaris was helpful from the get-go when I expressed interest in our travel plans to Madikwe. Michelle was very helpful in presenting a couple options to us, and ultimately went with Buffalo Ridge. Throughout the process, Michelle was interactive, attentive and informative. She answered all my questions, provided important information in a timely manner, was kind, and was able to hold my reservation as I had to check with the rest of my party before finalizing. The entire experience was above my expectations and I would recommend Thorn Bush and Michelle, to anyone wanting to experience an incredible, luxurious safari vacation. Thank you!
