Your First African Safari: What to Expect and How to Prepare

First things first: the safari lodge that you choose will shape your entire experience. Staying at a private game reserve, such as the Thornybush Luxury Game Lodge Collection, ensures the trip will be in the hands of professionals, meaning all you have to do is show up; the rest is planned and all-included for you.

Rates at all of Thornybush's lodges include accommodation, all meals, tea, coffee, snacks, dawn and dusk safaris in open-game vehicles, bush walks, and sundowner drinks on game drives.
