Review about Amboseli National Park by hollisa
Spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and huge herds of elephants are worth a visit, but after a long dry period the ecosystem is out of balance!

Review about Aberdare National Park by hollisa
Sometimes it´s hard to find the animals in this large area, but the scenic beauty of the different landscapes is breath-taking!!

The best place in the world to study the life of the white and the black rhinos!!
Between 2009 and 2012 we had six gamedrives in Solio and it was always like coming home! Nature and wildlife at its best, very few tourists and excellent accommodations. For a luxury stay you can choose the Solio Lodge in the park, we preferred the normal priced Rhino Watch Safari Lodge 3 km beside. From Solio it´s only one hour drive to Mt. Kenya, the Aberdares or Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The climate at 1800m is very moderate throughout the whole year. That´s also a reason for a big variety of natural goods and very tasty food! The guides at the parks were best educated to explain the wildlife and well trained to find the animals.
We enjoyed every single trip and surely will come back!

Review about Kruger National Park by kittykat23uk
I would not say Kruger is particularly beautiful, it's very scrubby which makes the prolific wildlife often difficult to see. Perhaps the North is more scenic. Bush vibe hindered by tar raods and the self drive aspect, but this also makes the park very economical to visit. Saw some good birds, especially around Berg En Dal.

Review about Kruger National Park by lupegarrou (Mick Bassett)
OK, I was a tourist but in Krüger I felt like a tourist, a longer stay, which I could no way afford, far to pricey!! may have changed my view but I doubt it.

A nice experience with certain beginner's mistakes
The tents on our walking safari was not rain proof. The description of degree of strain during walking was not entirely accurate, it turned out to be much more difficult (e.g. walking for 10 hours one day in 40 degrees heat) - you need to make sure that people understand what is expected.
Everyone involved were always very nice, accomodating and helpful.

Review about South Africa by Rothdigga
Ideally I would like to see all the animals that I shoot photos of as totally wild "not on reserves", but I realize that in South Africa that's just not available as much. The parks I've visited have been amazing and the birding is top notch.

Review about Mikumi National Park by marioni
It's more a wide and open park, compared to Ruaha - and Arusha National park the scenery is not so beautiful and surprising.

Amazing experience with my 8-year-old son
It's the first time my husband and son had been to Africa. I went there before but for business - only for three days. It's not like we saw on TV (tragedies etc.). We went through Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania's business city. We visited the spice island of Zanzibar first before flying to Arusha and then Lake Manyara National Park - where my son had a blast.
Coming from Minnesota - it felt hot even though it's supposed to be one of their cooler months. But it gets hotter even in Minnesota. We loved the weather.
You can't expect to get the first world service in a third world country but I would say - we're really impressed with what we paid for. Plenty of wildlife, beautiful uncontaminated air, exotic food, very good and kind African people.
It's our best trip ever!! Going again in the next two years,
