"Was left stranded outside the gate with no access no instructions. Gate would not open even though wr drove up to it. Phone lines dead. Had no option but to drive away feeling very sad and extremely dissapointed. Drove off into the dark desert looking for a last minute booking which ended up being 1.5 hours drive away. Management said no refund once they finally contacted us in a new telephone number that neither us or hotels.com had been provided with. Still waiting for some sort of apology...

When is the best time to go to Sidbury?

The best time to go to Sidbury is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, as this period offers the most comfortable weather for outdoor activities and wildlife viewing.During these months, the weather is generally mild and sunny, with cooler evenings. The reduced rainfall means the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot wildlife, particularly in the nearby nature reserves. This is especially good for couples or families interested in safaris and outdoor adventures, as the animals tend to congregate around water sources, providing excellent viewing opportunities.The shoulder months of April and November can also be pleasant, offering a transition between the dry and wet seasons with slightly warmer temperatures and still good chances for wildlife encounters before the heavier summer rains begin.
