Review about Tanzania by Chapojules
This was I believe a less touristy destination, but I cannot compare as this was the only safari we had been on

Review about Tarangire National Park by AfricaontheNile
I can't remember everything we saw there, but I do remember a very positive experience. It's not far behind the Serengeti.

If you want to experience wildlife, Africa and Africa's wildlife, go here.
I have always wanted to see the wildlife in their natural habitat, and I was fortunate to be able to do that. It satisfies something in my soul, and I love it. We saw all the wildlife you can imagine. Elephants, rhino, lions mating, leopard, cheetah, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, hippos, ostrich, crocodiles - it was heaven on earth. The scenery and weather were excellent, the lodge that we stayed at in the Serengeti was unique, the food they prepared for us was amazing - the kitchen area was so small, and out of that tiny area came some of the most delicious meals that I have ever had the opportunity to taste. Their stove was so tiny, I can't explain it, but it was able to cook things to perfection. Our transportation was better than what we had in Namibia, and our guides were so patient, and knowledgeable, although when one of our group members wanted to know the name of this one bird we saw, and our guide told him, I forget how many times, what the name of this bird was, and the group member couldn't understand him, the guide then spelled it out "B-A-T-E-L-E-U-R", and you could tell by the tone of his voice that he better not have to say it again. (But he also spelled it out several times.) We had three guides, and they were all wonderful, very kind, very accommodating, and we made new friends with them. On our last day there on our morning game drive, we saw on the right hand side of the road a male lion and a lioness. He looked to be dead to the world. Then our guide looked on the other side of the road and we saw another male lion and lioness. They were both sitting down, and the male had his head up, and I got a good shot of his head and eyes. Then he got up and started to walk over to the lioness and started to get on top of her. I though to myself "he can't be about to do what I think he's going to do." And sure enough, we saw them do it 3 times - the expressions on their faces were absolutely priceless!!! We did see a leopard, and this one lady in our tour group, it was her eighth time visiting Africa and this was the first time she had ever seen a leopard. So we were fortunate. And it was an experience never to be forgotten.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by ilovesouthafrica
I was at Pilanesberg in spring and had the experience of a lifetime... Hordes of giraffe prancing in sun-drenched fields; zebra, wildebeest, and springbok all grazing and relaxing together and with their young; a large pride of lions in a collective, placid siesta... Don't miss it. Make sure to put this Park on your itinerary!!!

The best way to observe wildlife in their natural habitat!
This was my first safari experience and I absolutely loved it. The pristine beauty of the land at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve; the diversity of animals and fauna; and best of all, the ability to observe wildlife in their natural habitat, is an experience I have not forgotten. The Reserve is easily accessible from Durban and should be on the must-see lists of all visitors to this beautiful part of South Africa!

Review about Tanzania by AfricaontheNile
I have only been to Tanzania, Namibia and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and of the three, Tanzania wins hands down for wildlife. However, if you're into the dunes in the Namib Desert and shopping in some of the cities, then Namibia will be right up your alley. We only went to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe so we didn't see enough for me to comment about it.

Wondrous creatures in a gorgeous wild setting as Mother Earth intended; a chance of a lifetime.
This is a gorgeous wild park; if you only get to go to one park in Tanzania...this is it. All the animals are here and the other parks simply repeat parts of your experience here. Enjoy watching the natural world as it was meant to be. Amazing!!
