Review about Tarangire National Park by Nile_Geordies
Vast, better for less known animals as well as the main ones.
Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Nile_Geordies
Nice park and contrast to others, does get quite busy.
Review about Amboseli National Park by Ricardo Guler
Nice place. Too many people.
The real bush vibe
Botswana is relatively unknown to tourists, yet provides all the wildlife and scenery you expect from a safari. When booking always ask for the possibility to stay inside the parks. There are private camping areas so it will be only you, the guide(s) and the wildlife. One night when sitting around the campfire in one of the parks a huge male elephant came rushing through the bushes and passed us within 10 meters. These kind of thrills are almost impossible in other African countries.
We stayed here with a guide and a cook on a private safari, while staying as much as possible inside the parks. As sidetrips we took a flight above the Okavanga Delta and spent two days in nearby Zambia to visit the Victoria Falls including a helicopter flight. Both were fantastic experiences well worth the money.
As the infrastructure inside the parks (and sometimes also outside the parks) is not always developed, do not try to attempt to book a self-drive unless you are very experienced in off-road driving.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Huge, enormous park (2/3th of Belgium !), so it has everything - but know where to go, or you might drive for hours without seeing a lot.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by CedricVandermeulen
Difficult to get to, off the beaten track, however, with animals that are difficult to see in other parks, such as the Oryx and the Gerenuk. Avoid in the dry season as animals tend to migrate south to areas with a bit more water.

Review about Chyulu Hills National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Not much animals here (due to the fact that the Chyulu hills were only "created" about 500 years ago during the latest volcanic eruptions there is no water - rivers have yet to form), however, this is the park with the best scenery of the whole of Kenya.

Review about Meru National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Although the wildlife is more difficult to spot, it is so much more rewarding when you finally find those lions / leopards / elephants. Everything is there. The park with the most beautiful light in Kenya.

Review about Shimba Hills National Reserve by Jay Harsevoort
The animals are not as plentiful and those I went with (their first and only safari) were disappointed. However, I can still remember seeing the Sable Antelope, and it is an experience I will never forget.
