Review about Tanzania by rwcm47
Bit difficult to explain. But never seen this before it is so fantastic. It will never bore you. Friendly people. And.. the great guide/driver Hassan Saidi MMBaga. Thanks to his knowledge he made this trip unforgettable.Hope to come back again.
Shimba Hills:Unassuming, Yet Full of Life
The drive to Shimba was fairly easy from Mombassa. Most travelers try to get their as early as possible to maximize their time in the park. The first thing I noticed was the calm, peacefulness of the reserve. While it was relatively easy to spot wildlife, the park was not overrun by hoards of tourists slamming into each other for a photo op. My driver showed me spots to take the perfect pictures outside of the vehicle. A calm demeanor and willing spirit certainly go a long way in the wild. His only advice, no sudden moves and definitely don't try to get too close to the young animals. Glad I stumbled upon Shimba Hills. Most guide books champion it as a lesser known wildlife reserve. Trust me, it's not because the sights are any less beautiful than the others.

Review about Tanzania by safarist
Tanzania is rich in wildlife and different ecosystems, from savannah to wet forest. I'd love to see it more protected from poachers.

Hard work but worth the effort (you have not seen everything until you have seen Gorillas)
Bwindi Impenetrable forrest is not the easiest plave to get too but that is part of the adventure. Accomodation can be from very basic to 4 star if you want it to be.
Trecking to find gorillas is hard work (they are mountain Gorillas after all) but you are pretty much certain to find them and it is a very special time.
The Park guides are excellent trackers and you are looked after very well (if offered a porter then take one carrying all you stuff is harder then you imagine).
We went mid year and the weather was fine although the jungle is damp most of the time.
The scenery is stunning although travelling around is an adventure of its own wil only mud roads to use.
Some great bird watching opportunities with some really good guides.
Would I do it again Yes in a heartbeat, worth all the effort.

Review about Tanzania by wildlifepictures.se
Wildlife is excellent - best worldwide. Scenic beauty - lovely. Birding in northern Tanzania really good most of the year.

From a photography point of view few destinations (in South Africa) can beat PGR.

Review about Botswana by C H
We were unable to see many cats during our visit. The meerkats in Makgadikgadi brought the best out in all of us. We were also lucky enough to see an African Lynx while we were there. We prefer private drivers and moving from camp to camp with different guides was not as special as East Africa. Drivers seemed to give the same schpiel.
