Review about Thornybush Game Reserve by Sonia
Incredible sightings everyday, beautiful landscapes, up and close with the animals on every drive.
Part of the greater kruger area and not fully enclosed reserve, with antipoaching efforts underway making it a great choice for folks interested in conservation and the protection of these beautiful animals!

Great experience and great value!
My Wife and I did a 6-day Uganda Safari with Africa Tours Adventure for our honeymoon (Kibale-QENP-Bwindi-Bunyoni). We chose Africa Tours adventure because it was cheaper than other well-reviewed tour operators, and were very happy with our choice.
Itinerary: The itinerary was great! I imagine it would be similar with many operators, but if you’re considering a Ugandan itinerary with Gorilla tracking, I’d highly recommend it — it’s such an amazing experience. If you can pay extra to extend the chimp experience, I would consider doing that as well (because its a shorter experience, we only got to see the chimps far away, in the treetops). Our tour guide, Levan was very open to adding activities in the area if we told him what we wanted.
Guide: Levan was excellent. He was super personable, and we ate most of our meals together, so we learned way more about Uganda than we otherwise would have (I know with some companies, the guides don’t generally have meals with their guests). While we were passing through his home town, he took us to his mom’s house and we got to try some authentic food and drink and see his family’s home, which was quite neat!
Lodging: The lodging was all nice mid-tier lodging; although the tour was budget compared to many other options, none of the lodging felt budget at all.
Vehicle: This is the one thing that felt more budget about this tour. It was a 90s style 5-seater land cruiser rather than the big classic Safari Jeep, so for the driving Safaris, it wasn’t as good as the full Jeep experience (which we had done on another leg of our trip) and was definitely more cramped. They offered the option to use a normal truck for driving between places and rent safari vehicles in the parks, but we wanted to have the option to put the top up for the en-route game drive, so we didn’t take them up on that option.
Company: The company is very well organized. We had car trouble due to bad roads, and Levan and the company worked incredibly quickly to make sure it wouldn’t have an impact on our trip.
Long story short, I’d say that the tour with Africa Tours Adventure felt like a well-run, mid-tier tour, at a budget price, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

Could not be better. Absolute experts. Attentive from booking to completing the trip.
This was a trip that exceeded our expectations. The amount of wildlife was simply amazing. Besides seeing all the classic animals such as lions, elephants, zebras, and giraffes, we saw dozens of other animal types and literally tens of thousands of total animals. And all of it up close. We kept a list and by the end we had seen over 30 different varieties of animals and that's not counting all the amazing birds. We did our travel through Lomo Tanzania Safari. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I can't imagine doing this trip without their expert help. Erasto made the booking very easy and was quick to respond as we were making plans and trying to understand our options. Philip was our guide and it became obvious that he is one of the best and truly a guide's guide. His expertise at finding more difficult wildlife and predicting wonderful spots for viewing was unsurpassed. His knowledge of the wildlife was profound. Everyday was a bit different and added to the overall experience. All of the nightly accommodations were excellent and there was always more than enough good food to eat. We would highly recommend that everyone have a Tanzania safari experience and when you make your plans you should do so through Lomo and request Philip as your guide.

Fantastic Company
The experience has been incredible, we have seen a large number of animals and the guide was very good. The conversations with Mohamed have been very good. The only recommendation is to take warm clothes since the night of the Simba camp is cold.

Best safari we could have possibly had!
We LOVED our safari with Lenchada Safaris. The food and lodging were wonderful but the best part was the game drives in the Maasai Mara. Our guide Richard was incredible -- always finding the best spots to see the wildlife and going above and beyond to make sure everyone was enjoying their safari. We are so grateful we decided to book with Lenchada and absolutely recommend it to every traveler. It cannot be beat for the price and experience.
