Christmas Safari
Our guide was wonderful! Ask for Melck! We had a perfect blend of sight seeing and culture. I would say the only weakness was they can be more careful with food allergies and intolerances, if you have a serious allergy or intolerance you might need to be very clear and precise about what you need. There are definitely language barriers. Overall the entire experience was life changing!

Amazing experience
I am very happy that I booked a 4 day safari and the Kili climb with MJ Safari. Jackson was very helpful and giving me reply to all my questions that I had upfront. Everything was very good organized and I had a fantastic time in this beautiful country.
The amazing feeling you get by standing in the midst of a herd of wild Elephants...
Amboseli is a pretty nice park for game-drives. It is not the park you want to visit if you have to see the "big five", because you won't find any rhinos or leopards here. But if you want to experience the incredible feeling you get when 20-30 huge african elephants silently passes by your car, this park is for you. If you are lucky you may get the oppurtunity to get a glympse of the largest free-standing mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro. The mountain is oft visible in the morning or evening hours. Though Amboseli is several miles away from the top, it still amazes hugely.
As for accomodation I can highly recommend Kibo Safari Camp. This is a luxury tented lodge, minutes from Kimana Gate. The staff, food, location etc. were excellent.
Per March 2015 the park were not overcrowded by cars, but only a few. This is much because of the reduction in tourism Kenya is experiencing. I personally prefer not to be part of a swarm of buzzing Toyotas when on game-drives, but rather have the oppurtunity to feel like in the only man-made creation in sight. This enables one to connect with the wildlife and nature in a special way. Nothing beats the sense of peace you get when the driver switches of the engine, and all you hear is Amboseli herself.

Review about Jinja by KVaughn49
Jinja is more of a 'rest' area and viewing the Nile River than a wildlife destination, although we saw more monkeys and smaller wildlife there.
Review about Victoria Falls by Bill Snypes
We were in Victoria Falls at the end of the dry season, and the falls were low, but still very impressive. Victoria Falls in a town, so there is not that much wildlife walking around. However, one evening returning from the Zambezi River, near the town, we encountered a group of elephants eating vegetation by the road. The wildlife is not very far away anywhere in Zambia.
A rugged place with beautiful rivers.
My wife and I went in November at the beginning of the rainy season. The weather was generally good, and not too hot. We saw a good number of animals, but with the coming rains they were often staying in the forest more. However, we did see cheetahs, lions, giraffes, hippos and a variety of birds. They come down to the river more during the dry season.
The river camp we were in was in a beautiful spot, with permanent tents and an open covered common area. The staff was very accommodating and the food was good. The guides tried very hard to find the animals for us to see, but they were scarce at times. We also cruised on the Kafue River and some people went fishing. The river was pristine and quite beautiful.
Review about Lower Zambezi National Park by Achim
Not easy to reach and a real wilderness along the Zambezi River.
Review about North Luangwa National Park by Achim
A great park with shy animals, little infrastructe and very few tourists. The most remote national park with pure wilderness feeling. 4WD absolutely necessary.
