Review about South Africa by MrTicklingstick
The country is possessed of enormously varied scenery - from large scale, stupendous grandeur to the exquisitely 'bijou'. The parks are located variously - on the coast and inland. Seemingly virtually unmatched diversity of flora and fauna which is very accessible. Good roads, generally helpful and friendly people, excellent food, excellent wine. No praise is high enough. It is most certainly not an idle boast when South Africans (truthfully) state that 'it's all the world in one country'.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Yukon Travellor
Been here three times. Depending on the time of year will necessitate the quantity of feathered friends you will see. The animal viewing is also superb as is the surrounding area.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Yukon Travellor
Stopped along the way from Naivasha to the Mara. Smaller in scale than most of the other parks though no less interesting and there are a quantity of wildlife to view.

Review about Ol Pejeta Conservancy by Yukon Travellor
A visit here is a must. We've enjoyed the 'tented'camp atmosphere on two occasions and the game viewing was fabulous.

Review about Buffalo Springs National Reserve by Yukon Travellor
Much the same as Shaba for animals, vegetation and climate. Though not the quantity of animals in comparision to the Mara, one is not disappointed.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Yukon Travellor
What can I say. We've been through the Mara on three different occasions at three different times of the year at three different lodges. Spectacular animal viewing, excellent lodges or camps to stay at. A MUST SEE !!

Review about Aberdare National Park by Yukon Travellor
We visited there on our first safari to Kenya. Very different vegetation though equally beautiful place to stay for several nights. You got to see a couple of the big 5.

Back for a Second Visit
We found Shaba and its sister reserves in the area much drier parks than the others we have visited further south, though no less plentiful places for animals. On both occasions in 2007 and again this year we stayed at the Sarova Shaba Lodge. This was well worth the tourist dollars though there are several lodges of equal calibre throughout the general area in and out of the three parks we visited in that region.
