This isn't the Bronx Zoo!
When my wife and I visited Thornybush, we felt like we were part of a small family on an adventure. We were in a lodge with 3 other couples, and the staff made us all feel like visitors in their home. The guide was terrific and we had a blast riding in the jeep looking for and finding many different animals in our short stay. The guide and tracker were very patient, resulting in many great sightings in two days, including lionesses and their kill, and some very young cheetah cubs, as well as the rest of the Big 5. The meals and the food were home made and all excellent. We would return to Thornybush in a heartbeat! It was the trip of a lifetime.
Review about South Africa by wolltd
One of the most beautiful countries in the world, South Africa features a wide variety of animals, birds, and flora and fauna, but what makes it special is the people. They are friendly, welcoming, and outgoing, and all committed to building a new South Africa. A great place to safari!

One of the unforgettable days of my life with the mountain gorilla!
We spent with a group 2 days at the park. The gorilla trakking was simply amazing. We thought, it is wuite expensive, but afterwords i think, it was worth every cent of it. To be so close to those animals was simply undescribable. One female even touched me. To see playing the younglings was phantastic. I really had to concentrate, that i turn of my camera and enjoy the moment. The feeling remains with me.
The park crew was very supportive, very friendly and very competent. They informed us very well what to do, what not to do. I also made a walk to the 3 waterfalls, which was also great. I always had the feeling, thta our guide knew what he was doing. He instucted us nicely but stricktly, how to conserve the territory for another generations. I felt, that the park is not simply an financial income source, but the people really love their home and the nature.
The village was nice, the people really nice. With the honey maker Agaba i still have connection. The childrens dance on the school was a bit too much show. I felt sorry for them instead of joy, that they dance and sing. I knew, the make it every day.
I was thinking about the masks, and gift stores. I wished more t-shirts, and less gorilla masks. I think the tourists really wanted the traditional stuff, not the fake modern touristic things to buy.
I wished for a bit longer running of the generator in the evening. The camp site was still really nice, confortable and welcoming.
Thank You for the great experience!

Review about Uganda by majzik viktor
Phantastic experience, lots of animals, amazing views. The best destination in africa. One can see savannah, rain forest, high ,mountains, lots of activities, like rafting, trekking. The people really loving, direct, and don't try to sell everything. A great fusion of being for reform but with keeping the nature, the sources, the animals, like building for the future. I hope the people can keep the conservation of what is really important.

Boatsafari on Chobe river 2 gamedrives in park, 6 gamedrives in Elephant Camp
Game is very diverse and abundant in both locations. Well organized drives, perfect knowledgeble guides and drivers. Exept for rhino's we came across all kinds of species also very rare-ones. Accommodation meets reasonable standard. Staff friendlyness could be subject to improvement in Safari Inn, but was perfect in Elephant Camp. It should be stressed more clearly that luggage weight is limited to 12 kilo's when using airtransport to remote camps in tiny 6-seaters. All in all the best value for money in all safari's experienced in Africa, inc. South Africa and Kenya.
