Review about Solio Ranch by Claus Hjoernet
In my opinion not really wild, but lots of rhinos.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Claus Hjoernet
Scenery can not match Samburu / Shaba, a bit crowded
A destination with many different landscapes
For a country that is predominantly desert Namibia is surprisingly well covered with good bush. It is also one of the cleanest countries in Africa with excellent roads. We started our trip in the capital,Windhoek, and first went north to Okonjima near Otjiwarongo. Run by the Hanssen family, this private reserve is home to the Africat Foundation, who specialise in cheetah and leopard conservation. The accommodation is excellent, as is the wildlife viewing albeit in a slightly artificial situation. All the cats are radio collared which makes finding them easier, and it is one of the few places where you can walk close to cheetah.
We then spent a week in Etosha, staying in all three camps inside the park all of which had both good and bad points, but overall were of reasonable standard if quite expensive. But what an experience! Etosha is everything you have ever heard about this world famous park and more. Huge herds of plains animals, and of course their predators, excellent bird life especially raptors, and some special sightings of the beautiful, elusive African wildcat. Each camp has a floodlit waterhole with good viewing offering a very different view of animal behaviour.
From there we moved to Walvis Bay, an unlovely town, for a disappointing sea safari. But the landscape along the coast is breathtaking.
Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Alan J Castle
We drove from one side to the other en route from Walvis Bay to Windhoek, and saw little wildlife at all, but the scenery was stunning.
Review about Etosha National Park by Alan J Castle
A vast park (over 22000sqkm) where although there are quite a few visitors there is plenty of space to get lost in, and the wildlife there from the minute you enter.

Best park we have visited so far.
We love Itala because their are not to much trees near the roads, you can see a long way. The park has mountains and different routes with nice curvy roads (gravel/tar) were Kruger has only the main straight tar road. We saw elefant, giraffe, zebra, impala, kudu, secretaiy bird, warthhog and rhino. The lodges have lots of privacy and are spacious. The restaurant is very good, we ate their once. The supermarket at the park is not that big and low on products, we had to shop outside the park, a 12km drive. We love to braai and because we had a selfcatering lodge the supermarket is a bit of disapointment. The pool is very nice. Would love to stay in this park again!
