Simple, serene and superb
South Luangwa National Park is fantastic for all sorts of reasons. We stayed at the very affordable Marula Lodge, which facilitated an authentic and enjoyable experience. We had an elephant come into the dining room to eat my son's fish and potato and hippos grazing on the grounds during the night. The atmosphere was calm and quiet, save for the noise from the hippos and the splashing of elephants in the river as the crossed from one side to the other. Once in the park itself for the 'safari experience', we saw lions eating their buffalo kill, as well as leopards, zebra, giraffe, hyena and countless other species.
South Luangwa NP, in my experience (and I've been to a few other places in Africa), is simply superb for the balance it manages to have in terms of the quality of the wildlife viewing and the limited number of other tourists. Other parks are plagued by too many tourists, all packed in around trying to watch the same thing - whether it be a lion kill or a lazy leopard in a tree. South Luangwa was great because we often had the view of a leopard or lions to ourselves without the pressure to move on and make space for others.
I highly recommend this place as a tourist destination. It must also be said that we visited as a family (i.e. we had two kids with us both under the age of 5). It was still relaxing and a great place to unwind.

Visiting Samburu is a must everytimes I visit Kenya
The Samburu National Reserve is one of the best Safari destinations in Kenya. The wildlife is excellent, the landscape adorable and Food and accomodation was everytimes perfect. Samburu is a dry and hot place and a lot of animals are concentrating around Uaso Nyiero River.
Very good Location for ornithologists.

Review about Tanzania by sunshine051469
I truly enjoyed all the time I spent in Tanzania. The people are very friendly. While the roads are rough it is worth the time and money spent.

Review about Botswana by Peter
We only visited the north and west but the contrast between Chobe and the Okavango was quite marked and the two really complemented one another.
Review about Zambia by D. Armstrong
Really open spaces, distinctive wildlife patterns and super-friendly people have made Zambia my favourite safari in 7 years of living in Africa.

Review about Kenya by Sue Green LRPS (suebg1)
I would rate Kenya quite highly as a safari destination mainly because in most of the parks it is possible to observe the animals quite closely.

Review about Zambia by Tob Photo
Of all the countries in Africa I've visited (and I've been to a few - I currently reside in Mozambique), Zambia is the friendliest and most action-packed in terms of places to visit!

The diversity of this Country is amazing. From Tropical beaches to alpine zones and from deserts to Tropical rainforests.
