A must do while in Nairobi
Well if you are in Nairobi, then a trip to the Nairobi National PArk must be on the Itinerary. It is preety much the only National park in a city anywhere in the world.
Wild, untouched and well populated, one will always get to see great game from the herbivores, to the big cats and even rhino. Bird lovers will also not go wrong.
An excellent trip for an early morning trip or in the evening. Its easily accessible from the city through the many entrance gates and one can even do it in the standard family car.

Great, but a little crowded
The Ngorongoro Crater has some fantastic wildlife and because of the enclosed nature of the crater, good sighting are almost guaranteed. We saw lots of Africa's large animals including lions and hyenas; however this inevitably brings in large numbers of people. This meant there was a slight safari park feel to the experience that took the edge off slightly. Also we went in October because we want to climb Kilimanjaro, which I don't think is the best time to see the park. Everything was quite dry and dusty. Despite this, the feeling of being the crater is incredible and not something I have experienced anywhere else in the world.

Review about Serengeti National Park by rwcm47
The endless views, all that wildlife. Unbelieveble if you see this for the first time in your life. So close in distance to the animals, often they ignore you like the cheetah's, and lion's and elephants. Difficult to describe this.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by rwcm47
It's different if you compare it with the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We have seen a lot of monkey's and less bigger animals. But a visit, oh yes it is worthwhile.

It was FANTASTIC.
We came from Lake Manyara and the Serengeti. It was overwhelming. And now we met as a bonus the hippo's with a baby (from 10 meters) and the rino. Fantastic scenery, all that animals walking in the crater. Excellent hotel (Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge).

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by The Third-Eye (very limited INTERNET ACCESS)
This is the best place to visit to see Flamingos in the Lake and known for white rhinos and tree climbing Lions.
Review about Amboseli National Park by The Third-Eye (very limited INTERNET ACCESS)
It is one of the most visited park by professionals as you see Elephant's enjoying in swamps close by is mount Kilimanjaro which one can easily capture in the background when shooting wide shots.
Adventurous
This is the only Game park within the City of Nairobi,so travelling time is max 30 min where ever you stay in Nairobi town, during my regular visits I have seen almost all the wild life including resident Lions with new born cubs as well, which one can see in major Game reserves apart from Elephants,...very good for birders during rainy season.Sometimes we see many migrant birds as far from Europe.
