Southern Tanzania parks, good overlook at reasonable price, excellent service
We booked with Bushroutes a budget camping safari.
4WD vehicle in fair conditions (but we lost half day to repair a leakage in the coleer)
Accomodation very good at Selous (bungalows with private service, located outside the reserve, 3 nights), good at Mikuni (tented camp, 2 nights), acceptable in Ruaha (Huts managed by TPS, 2 nights)
Selous visit fair (Nice cruise on Rufiji, interesting walking safari, good safari); but park too big to be visted in such a short period
Mikuni and Ruaha excellent visits
Driver and gook perfect
Bushroutes service highly recommended

A place where people are still honest, straight forward, smiling and a country with still nature
The wild life safari was amazing. Its definitely something one should do. I had my concerns that I may be bored, but it was wonderful. Most of the basic camps are good enough and pleasant. I was surprised by the hospitality and help i received from many locals there.
The whole country almost everyone speaks english, so you can get by very easily, and definitely visit a night club. Its comparatively very cheap and superb vibes

A Trip of a Lifetime.
I can honestly say that the 2 weeks we spent in Uganda was a trip of a lifetime. Every experience we had made you realize that the animals, flora and fauna are a true blessing from God. The wildlife was amazing. The number of elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, lions, etc. took your breath away. At Murchinson Falls make sure you do both a land and water safari. I highly recommend the water safari. The Chimp Habituation at Kibale was an educational experience beyond belief. The guides were very knowledgeable and were very happy to answer any questions you might have about these wonderful animals. The highlight of the trip was the tracking of gorillas in the Buniga Forest. This experience was so dynamic that I am sure most people back in the States think I am making-up many of my experiences. We tracked the gorillas on two different occasions and each experience offered new perspectives. These are incredibly intelligent animals that have much to teach us as humans. The lodges we stayed in (Boma Lodge, Paraa Safari Lodge, Primate Lodge,Kyaninga Lodge) were beautiful and the food was delicious. However, the Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge may have been the finest place I have ever stayed in all the world. This lodge is spectacular. The views are breathtaking, and food was delicious, but most of all the staff was like family. I cannot say enough about this lodge. It is a must see for everyone. Journeys Discovering Africa is an excellent safari operator. They not only met all of our needs they out-surpassed our expectations.

Chobe National Park was the the quintessential Safari Park...saw all animals up close and personal!
We camped in the park for 2 nights and 3 full days....very rustic but amazing. We had elephants walk right past our tents and there was a wart hog in our camp one morning. The most amazing sight was two massive lionesses chasing down a cape buffalo and taking him down while a pride of 15 lions waited for the kill and then came in for the feast! Our guide was fabulous.

Great and safe experience on a 16 days Safari in northern Tanzania
Very nice and good drivers who knew a lot about the animals and where to find them. We drove long distances all the way up to Lake Natron and the northern Serengeti. We always felt safe and pretty comfortable even on very bumpy roads or through muddy patches. The landrovers were cleaned the next morning to start for another exciting early morning tour.

Review about South Africa by Mbabane Mike
I don't have enough time in other parks to rate them. In fact I haven't been to any of these listed below...yet. But we do love going to Mpumalanga province for vacation. The scenery is fantastic.

Safaris are great, cities are not that exciting.
Wildlife safari, was one of the best experiences in my lifetime.
