Review about South Africa by phbphotography
The country is in its infancy and hence not that overdevelopd to scar the natural habitat. The pricing structure of the wild card enables a local South African to still enjoy the game park.

Review about Kenya by Wanderlust
I have visited about 10 countries in Africa. Kenya has the best wildlife, is one of the most beautiful scenically, has a great bush vibe about it and has the best birding I have seen. It is harder to do on your own (easier than Tanzania but much harder than South Africa).

Awesome Breathtaking Game Park. The best kept secret in southern Africa.
I went to the park on a Photographic Safari. We had Two vehicles and 10 photographers, with Mellisa and Willie as our guides. The weather was exceptionally cold that year, reching to -10 degrees celcius in the mornings. I stayed at Twee Revieren and at Nossob Camps. Nossob Camp was our main camp and we did daily drives from the camp to the various watering holes and spotted many wild game species during the early morning and late afternoon drives.
Wildlife spotted the Lion, Cheetahs, Leopard, Wildebeest, Gemsbok, Springbok, Meerkats, Jackals, Ostriches, Owls, Eagles, Goshawks, Bee-eaters, Kories.
The desert scenery and the skies are spectacular, especially the quality of the light and the air as this area is not inundated with any form of pollution. The evening skies are clear and the stars shine in the night sky. The Nossob Camp has a hide and a webcam. The hide is well visited by different animals at night, and during the day. We took the self catering camps so we carried our own food and cooked on the site our meals. The little shop is stocked with the bare necessaties and is a little expensive, as they have to cart the supplies in from quite a distance. The Twee Revieren Camp is the main entrance camp and the store is more stocked up with groceries.
Transportation, we had two game vehicles and guides. The game vehicles were perfect for the photography course. One can self drive through the park, but parts of the areas are accesible only via 4x4 vehicles.
Our guides were very knowledgable about the ecosystem and the fauna and flora of the park.
Higlight for me was the spotting of the young male leopard.

Review about Mkhuze Game Reserve by architectkzn
Primier destination for birding in KZN. The hides are well located and visited by the many species of birdlife, both migratory and resident species abound in this park.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by architectkzn
Small park compared to Kruger, but highly recomended as it is next to a primier destination like the Sun City Hotel Complex. Visited this park and spotted the big cats on a morning game drive, and the quality of light was very nice to photograph.
