Lion kingdom
Samburu is one of those places which just surprise you right from the word go. Literally 2 minutes into driving into he park, we spotted two cheetahs lounging in the shade. The wildlife in this park is just fabulous - from the herds of elephants, the giraffes, zebra and the birdlife. However, the highlight was the lion sightings. Absolutely breathtaking!
Samburu also gives you stunning sunrises and sunsets. The photographs look like they were taken straight out of the 'Lion King'.
All in all, a park you cannot afford to miss if you're visiting kenya. It will certainly give you memories of a lifetime.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Stefan van Schaik
If you want to see some big predator cats or other big game, you realy have to go to the Serengeti. It has a higly amount of lions and there are alot of cheeta's. For seeing a leopard you need a little bit of luck and a good guide.
It also has an increasing amount of elephants and giraffes.
But other than some big and amazing animals it also has a real divers sceanery. Sometimes its realy amazing to see how the landscape is changing. From real African savanna to a rocky area or a very green and wet place.

An amazing and majestic experience that should be on everyone's bucketlist
Wildlife:
There isn't another place in the world where there are more wild animals per square miles as in this crater. Everywhere you look, you will see animals. What makes it more special is the amount of different animals that are living in this crater. There is a chance to see almost everything exept giraffes (they cant climb down the steep walls), cheeta's and leopards becouse of the territorial lions and huge amount of hyena's. For the lucky ones there is also a chance to see a glimp of the extremely endangered black rhino.
Scenery:
However the crater isn't big, there is a big variety of scenery. At first, when you drive down, you will see a kind of bush against the steep walls. On the floor there are two small forrests (good spots for elephant and birds), some small lakes and a river (good chance to see hippo's and grey crowned cranes), a salty lake full of minerals and of course the savanna.
Transportation:
The only way to visit this crater is by small jeeps. They are realy comforteble and have open roofs so you realy can see in any direction.
The roads are sandy and bumpy but thats the beauty of Africa.
Guide:
Our guide was a realy friendly person who had alot of knowledge of the African wildlife. They also know the greatest spots for observing animals. Just ask what you want to see and they will drive towards it.
Higlights:
1: There are two picknickspots in this game reserve where you have permission to leave the car. One is in a small forrest and another at one of the most beautiful lakes in Tanzania where you can observe some hippo's from a realy close but safely distance. There are also some special birds at picknickspot 2 like: great white pelican, african spooners and lesser flamingo.
2: If you are lucky then there is a chance to see some black maned lions or black rhino's at the savanna.
3: Viewpoint when you have left the crater. It's on top of the crater and if the sky is clear, you realy have a good view that's breathtaking.
The Ngorongoro crater has also lots of kind of birds. Especially in the forrests and at the small lakes. It also has the most biggest amount of grey crowned cranes that i have ever seen before. Sometimes in groups of 100 and more.
Also see: www.natuurfotografiestefan.jimdo.com for some beautiful images that i have taken in this crater and on my journey trough Kenya and Tanzania.

Safari 2 days Mikumi national park
Me and my three kids had a great tour to Mikumi from Dar es Salaam. We started 8am and entered the park 2pm. Our guideguide Henry was awesome and very professional. He had great knowledge about the wild life there and we spotted a lot of interesting animals except for the rhinoceros that not exists there. But we were lucky to see lions from only 2 meters distance. We spent the night in a very nice place called Tan Swiss Lodge. Felt really luxuary compared to the hotel we had in dar.
I will highly recommend Hello Tanzania, very professional and helpful. We had some problem with the payment because of me but everything worked out because of them :)

For us it was only 2 days and 1 night package and this was amazing! Our guide Michael was so passionate about his job and animal… he was so caring! And we got so lucky to meet some Lions, crocodiles and 1 leopard. My 5 years old son could not dream about a better safari. Seing animals in there natural environment and life. Elephants, Girafes, Antelopes, Gnu, Birds, Monkeys… Mikumi is Amazing and worth it to drive 7 hours to get there… Michael again millions thanks to make our dream come true. I will never forget this moment. Magalie

Just stunning
Kruger is a piece of Africa's heart. There are a lot of wild animals that are easy to spot, including mammals, birds and reptiles. I saw at least once a day lions, leopards, elephants, kudu, rhino, hippo, cebra, wildebeest and plenty of different species of bird. In addition, the landscape is awesome, specially the sunset, you can take amazing pictures.
The accomodations, shops and restaurants are really good.
I recommend to avoid weekends because there are too many people.
