Experience outstanding wildlife in a semi-dessert like nowhere else.
You can't compare Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park with any other park because it is special in its own way. It has its own special charm and atmosphere. The springboks Oryx and wildebeest are abundant. So is a number of predator birds. If you are lucky you will see lions cheetahs and leopards.
The camps have bird hides where you can see predators drinking water at night. Facilities at the camps are very good.
It is recommended to take the night drives. One out of three is usually very good.
It is dry and hot during the day and can get very cold at night.

Review about Lower Zambezi National Park by bianca
The mighty Zambezi river, fourth largest in Africa and home of the mysterious river God, Nyami-Nyami, is the show piece of this remote National Park. The flood plain offers the best game viewing on land, while a boat cruise on the Zambezi, visiting some of the islands, is a wonderful experience.

Review about South Luangwa National Park by bianca
Walking safaris! South Luangwa is the birthplace of walking safaris in Big 5 country, and still one of the most magical places to do it in. Some of the best game guides in the business share their knowledge here, showing you the big and small wonders of the African bush. The night drives in southern Luangwa are also legendary, with regular sightings of leopards, civets and gennets. This is one of the wildest and most beautiful Parks I have had the pleasure of spending time in.

Review about Ruaha National Park by bianca
The Great Ruaha River is the centrepiece of this wonderful park. It is remote, wild and very beautiful. The baobab trees constitute one of many highlights, providing a dramatic backdrop for the wildlife and birds that abound. Special sightings could include lesser kudu and the Tanzanian red-billed hornbill. (My tip: Don't miss the wonderful museum dedicated to Chief Mkwawa of the Hehe tribe near Kalinga on your way in. It is well worth a stop!)

Copper and Elephants - the Real Africa
What is the "Real Africa"? Is it wild places teeming with wild animals? Is it remote swamps filled with mysterious birds? Is it raging rivers and plunging waterfalls? Is it bustling cities and towns awash with warm, friendly people? If this is real Africa, Zambia has it all and more.

Wild Wild Africa
So much of Tanzania feels untouched. The southern regions that I travelled in were wildest, purest Africa. Jungle,beaches, mountains, wildlife - Tanzania has it all. Hiking to the waterfalls of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, negotiating the chaos of Dar's traffic, snorkelling the reefs off the coast and game driving in the many wildlife destinations and sharing a Ndhovu Lager with Tanzanian friends in a bar to round it all off. Karibu sana, rafiki.

Review about Kruger National Park by Dave
Despite the crowds in certain areas (particularly around the larger rest stops like Skukuza) and the limitation to the roads, Kruger offers an amazing array of animals and great access to them. Talk to other travelers about locations for animal watching. Drive yourself through part of the park - there's a unique value to spotting that lion yourself.

Away from the crowds
We took a private game drive in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and it was a highlight of our trip. The off-road access of a ranger-led game drive was exhilarating and we had an incredibly intimate experience sitting in an open land rover just a few feet from a pride of lions as they awakened from their afternoon nap. Being so close to these beautiful animals was a one of the best experiences of my life. We also had great, close-up encounters with elephants and water buffalo. Being in the open air with knowledgeable rangers made the experience that much better.

Review about South Africa by Dave
Wow. South Africa exceeded all of my expectations. The people were amazing and being on safari and seeing these amazing animals in the wild exceeded my already high expectations. Incredible place. I'd go back in a second.
