Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Jay Harsevoort
Lake Nakuru is one place you see a Rhino easily. I also love the trees and the flamingos on the lake. It is also a quieter park with fewer people.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Jay Harsevoort
Samburu is a great place to visit for a unique experience far from big cities and people. That said, time with Samburu or further north, the Turkana, is a great reason to head that direction. It is absolutely beautiful out there.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Jay Harsevoort
Amboseli is a bit more rustic and you won't see all that one does at the Maasai Mara but you cant beat getting that photo of elephants walking in front of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Botswana has managed to preserve its wildlife - unlike so many other african nations.

Review about Okavango Delta by Marco
Outstanding area, especially if you decide to take the unique experience of a mokoro tour. But if you want to see the thousands of animals living in this area you'd better take a scenic flight (flight can be easily booked in Maun)

Review about Central Kalahari Game Reserve by Marco
The Kalahari is without doubt breathtaking: a bushy desert with a good wildlife.
There are less tourists than in the most popular parks, but spotting animals can be harder.
its an african landlocked agro-based economy
few animals beautifull scenery very cool and the rest was acceptable

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by AfricaontheNile
Our tour group did not get to really experience Ngorongoro because on the 1st day we went down into the crater, it was REALLY raining, and none of the animals were visible. When we were coming back from the Serengeti on our way back to Tarangire, we stopped there for a short period of time, but because of time constraints, we weren't able to devote an entire day there.

Kasanka is a small but mighty park, hosting millions of migrating straw-colored fruit bats each year
The annual migration of five million straw-coloured fruit bats is an amazing sight and Kasanka National Park is an amazing place to view the spectacle. The fruit bats migrate from mid-October to mid-December, and every night the sky is filled with millions of bats heading out for their evening meals. Although the bats are an once-in-a-lifetime experience, Kasanka is definitely worth visiting year-round. The park hosts a large population of puku and many other antelope, including the world’s most visible population of sitatunga. The park is also home to a small herd of elephants, including a brand new baby. Kasanka is also a great place for birders, hosting over 400 species of birds, including several that are rare – namely the shoebill. The scenery is beautiful, mostly mimobo woodlands, but also wetlands and drier areas. This allows for a wide variety of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life throughout the park.
Kasanka hosts two lodges (Wasa & Luwombwa) that are both within the park limits. There are also campsites located throughout the park that allow you to get a closer experience with the wildlife. Another great feature of the park are the tree hides, which are a unique way to view wildlife any time of the year. The staff members are all very helpful and can assist you with pretty much everything during your visit. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, not just about the big animals, but also about the birds, trees, and the people of the area.
While you won’t get to see the “Big 5,” Kasanka is a great stop for anyone visiting Zambia! The birdlife, the annual migration of millions of straw-colored fruit bats, and the scenery are worth a visit to this small park in central Zambia.
