Queen Elizabeth national park is beautiful
My first time to visit in Uganda and i visited with my daughter to Queen Elizabeth park for 5 days. I visited the kyambura gorge to see the chimpanzee and also the walk in the gorge where we found many birds. This park has about 606 different bird species and very wild selection of animals. Visit it and enjoy everything

Safaritrip and Mt. Meru
Hi.
We had a really great experience with Stainbok Adventures. At first Mr. Gideon talked to us and guided us through which places that could be interesting to visit. We decided to go for a 3-day safari and also do a 3-day hike up to Mt. Meru. During the 3-day safari we visited Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro and Tarangire. Our great guide Godson found a lot of beautiful places for us to visit and we got to see The Big Five! We were very lucky on our last day, until then we had seen 4 of the big five, and last one to catch was the Leopard which we got in sight during our last hour in the park. A great experience with a great and honest company. We also took the "fast" hiking up to Mt.Meru. A lot of the people we met that had hiked both Kilimanjaro och Mt.Meru, told us to go Mt.Meru because of less crowded and more of a challenge because of the incline, though not as high as Kili. We did the hiking in 3 days even though it´s recommended to go in 4 days because of a slower descent. We went up in 2 days and down in one day. The ranger we walked with was awesome and me and my girlfriend was the only ones along with two other pairs to walk up to Mt.Meru during these days. It was a beautiful landscape and we had a unforgetable trip.

Musa is a very knowledgeable n experienced guide who made the safari wonderful.
Ashnil mara is a beautiful property on the mara river n what makes it stand out are its Staff. Attentive, friendly n hardworking! The food selection was also very good n tasty. It was an experience of a life time we saw Wildlife, up close n personal! Our tour guide Musa knew exactly where to go n view the animals. The weather was a lil crazy with it being too hot when the sun was up. N too cold as the sun set. All the people we met from start to finish went the extra mile to make us hav a memorable n wonderful holiday.

A great experience
Before our group came to Chobe National Park we were at two parks in South Africa. We saw more or less all the animals we saw in South Africa and then some more. :-) The guides were very competent, the scenery is great, we saw lots of wild animals, including a leopard and a cobra and of course lots of elephants. The scenery is great, the park is a must. Botswana is definetely worth a visit. We stayed close to the park and also heard a lion at night.

Reaching Kilimanjaro- acomplished
We were a group of 7 from ages 16- 51 all of us reach the Summit! 100% succes rate. It was a once in a lifetime exprience, the whole 7 day journey was amazing the guides were very friendly and dedícate to our goal of reaching the Summit. They were flexible since our group had climbers from different skill levels. The main guide adjust the intinerary to make it more comfortable for us. The equipment was perfect for our trip and the weather was incredible we only encounter one small shower one afteroon.
Our trip will be in our memories forever. Kudos to our operator without them we will not have this memories.

Kenya's first national park opened in 1946 with much to see.
From Kenya's capital city, a wildlife safari is a mere 8 km ( 5 Miles) away at the Nairobi National Park. There are more than 80 mammals and 500 bird species within its boundaries And far more visitors than in the ever popular Masai Mara. With large numbers of residents coming from Nairobi. The park is located to the south of the capital and takes around 15 minutes to drive to the main entrance along the Langata Road, and inside the park's boundaries a good network of roads allows visitors to explore every habitat. Near the entrance is the headquarters of the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Nairobi Animal Orphanage. The best time to visit is in the dry seasons when 2 wheel-drive cars are possible - February and March, or August and September. During these periods, migratory herds of zebra and wildebeest enter the park through the Kitengela Corridor adjoining the unfenced southern boundary. The park offers a good introduction to safaris, and visitors can spend an entire day game-viewing and picnicking at the various sites provided. Overnight accommodation at the Masai Lodge situated on the southern boundary.
The parks higher western quarter is clothed in dense forest which is watered by several streams that have been dammed as they enter the broad grassy plains covering most of the park. Wildlife is abundant and from the lookout near the Narogoman Dam it is possible to watch herds of animals moving across the plains. Gazelle,kongoni,buffalo,zebra and Masai giraffe, and the Ngong Hills, of Out of Africa fame, form an impressive background. Buffalo, bush pig and bushbuck are encountered in the dense forests, while impala are found in the open woodland.Over 50 Rhino are protected but wild and I have seen one near the gate on the many times I have been. Lion are found through out the park over 20 have been counted and are frequently seen in the Hyrax Valley where they spend on average 16 of the 24 hours sleeping . Cheetah are common and often seen as are Leopards but only seen late afternoons. Other animals include leopards,baboon,hippo and a dozen antelope species. Unique in its location on the threshold of a major city, the park conserves an unspoilt tract of forest,woodland and grassland Along the southern border, visitors can explore a trail along the banks of the Athi River at the Hippo Pools. The trail and its succulent vegetation is a refreshing getaway from the bustle of nearby Nairobi, but do keep a look out for Hippo and crocodiles in that area. I think one of the highlights of this park is that animals like Zebra are very close And try to include a photo of the city skyline in the background whilst animals graze in the foreground, when using a telephoto lens it enables you to compress the distance making them appear closer..... But do remember these are wild animals you are not in a Western Safari park. Do not take chances.

Terrific Safari, Great Experience and Knowledge, Great Pictures
My wife and I had a tremendous safari with PKS. We saw every animal you could imagine (and some that we had no idea existed), while in the comfort of PKS' open-air (but sun-protected) SUV, and learned enough to fill many books about animals, their habitat and habits, bird species, etc. The Bekker brothers take care of every step of your trip, and are at your service the whole way. We were up before dawn to maximize our animal viewing time, they knew all the most likely spots to see interesting sightings and are your "insiders" to the park. They always made sure we were comfortable in our rooms, with food and drink, and led us to see and do whatever we wanted. Would highly recommend.
In addition, they provided us with dozens of great pictures of our experience, as they are both skilled photographers. They added shots that we struggled to get with our own camera, and then shared them with us immediately after the safari. This was a great bonus.

Amazing
We were there for only half a day and early next morning on our way out. The views are fantastic especially on the way and from the Sopa Lodge. Got to see a lot of wildlife like buffalos, gazelles, impalas, zebras & warthogs. We were so very lucky to see Rhinos, Giraffes and Lions and pigmy antelopes. We did not see different birds for which Lake Nakuru is famous.
The lodge was ok and not luxury as described but the views from the bedroom and dining area were fantastic. The staff were friendly and tried their level best to make the experience enjoyable. The food was not of high standard but was ok and the waitress failed to understand the order.
The weather was excellent and both guides made the experience memorable. Joe was very knowledgeable and knew where to go so that we can get to see the wildlife. He had the patience to wait for the animal to get closer so that we could get better photos of the Rhinos.
Our only regret was that we should have stayed one more day.
