Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Mike
Great wildlife, birds, and scenery. Stayed just outside the park and drove in.

Amazing experience!
We stayed at Elsa's Kopje, which was an absolutely extraordinary lodge with outstanding guides and spectacular views. As our first stop on a safari honeymoon, it delivered in spades. The wildlife was great, though different than the Mara with not necessarily the same diversity. The birds were incredible!

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Andy
Uganda's main safari park. Worth a visit if you are in Uganda, but I think there are better opportunities outside Uganda for big game. They changed the rules recently so drivers get fined if they go off the trails. I appreciate that there is probably an environmental reason for this, but it meant that we didn't get very close to any of the animals

Best premier safari experience of all the Park
When it comes to East Africa safari, there is no other like a Maasai Mara experience. With the vast wild animals in millions in the natural habitat and the beautiful landscapes not to forget the highlight - the african sunset!
We were able to see all the Big 5 in our 3 days safari including the Black Rhino which is very rare to spot, the huge hippos and crocodiles in Mara River and the flora and fauna were all incredible. The park is very huge and the adventure while doing a game drive through the park is unmatched!

Best park on earth for being a guest amongst the wild.
In March of this year I was so lucky to visit Serengeti National Park for the fourth time. Being a guest of the wild, the nature in this beautiful area, is an experience I will never take for granted nor forget about. Allthough it is the fourth time, I see , hear and smell different things every hour of my visit. The wildlife is very impressing and amazing species passed me while I being there in adorable amounts!!!
The park is well taken care of, public places are neat and clean.
Not only the wildlife is terrific, every part of Serengeti is different from another, far views, trees, mountains, rocks, kopjes, rivers and lakes... it´s all there and we were lucky to experinece the veriaty of areas during our visit. It´s rougher than the other parks and so seems the wildlife.
Review about Thornybush Game Reserve by Punyabrata
The lodge is simply outstanding with the room overlooking a water hole. The sightings of smaller game coming to the waterhole while having a shower is, I suppose "exclusive"....
Got the big five, including the sight of a leopard jumping from one tree to another as well as a baby elephant rubbing its forehead on the side of the open land rover, right where I was sitting!!!!
The meals were great and the price was extremely reasonable. The tracker was exceptional....
The lodge also organizes walks and that is where the tracker explains the differences between the pug marks of a lion and a leopard.

5 day Etosha safari
We had an amazing time in Etosha. We saw elephants and rhinos every day and Lions every day but one. The great thing about Etosha in the dry season, is that the animals all congregate near the water holes so we didn't have to ride around looking for animals, we just sat at the water holes and the animals came to us - sometimes in huge numbers. We stayed inside the park one night and enjoyed the lighted watering hole at the lodge. We also stayed in a high-end lodge on the eastern side of the park where the food and service rivaled that of 4 star hotels in big European cities. Our Guide from nature Travel Namibia took amazing care of us and was a wonderful addition to our group. If you can, I highly recommend visiting Etosha National Park.

Review about Okavango Delta by Dee Lange
This was opposite in scenery to the Kalahari, lots of water and plants, again remote from other tourists. The wild life was totally amazing and combining the Kalahari and Okavango as my two destinations I feel I had two totally different but amazing experiences of safaris.

Vast,remote undisturbed plains, a real safari experience.
The wildlife was totally amazing, i came expecting nothing and saw it all. I loved the non tourist atmosphere, we only saw the jeeps from our camp it was a real adventure. We landed on a dirt airstrip where we were met by our safari jeep, our camp was fabulous with a small pool and views over the Kalahari where you could see lions roaming. The food was good considering how remote we were. Our guides and staff were amazing and so friendly. you could sleep under the stars on top of your canvas safari unit if you wished. I was 69 when i took this trip and it was one of the best experiences of my life.
