Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Thornybush Game Reserve?
The best area to stay in Thornybush Game Reserve is within one of the private lodges inside the reserve itself.Staying within the reserve offers the most convenient and exclusive access to wildlife. The lodges are typically spread out, each with its own designated traversing area for game drives, meaning you're not competing with crowds for animal sightings. You'll find yourself surrounded by the natural bush, with animals often visiting the lodge grounds.For couples seeking a romantic and secluded experience, many lodges offer private suites with plunge pools and outdoor showers, providing an intimate connection with the surroundings. The focus is on personalised service, gourmet dining, and expert-led game drives, ensuring a memorable and luxurious safari.Families will also find lodges within Thornybush that cater to their needs. Some lodges offer family suites or villas, and many provide dedicated children's programmes or activities designed to engage younger travellers in the safari experience.
When is the best time to go to Thornybush Game Reserve?
The best time to go to Thornybush Game Reserve for optimal wildlife viewing is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.During these months, the vegetation is sparse, and animals congregate around waterholes and rivers, making them easier to spot. The weather is also generally cooler and drier, with clear skies, which is more comfortable for game drives and other outdoor activities. This period is particularly good for those keen on seeing a wide variety of animals without dense foliage obscuring views.For travellers looking for a more lush landscape and excellent birdwatching opportunities, the wet season, from November to April, can be appealing. While wildlife spotting might require a bit more patience due to thicker vegetation, the reserve is incredibly green, and many migratory bird species are present.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.
