Beautiful nature. The lodges are very nice and organized facilities. Very easy to organize a safari and have all the necessary information.
Enchanting views of the bush. (Sorry, no speak english)

The Kruger National Park safari was a very intense adventure full of exciting moments.
I was lucky because I could observe and photograph many animals and birds. I stayed very well at a lodge at Marlot Park, near the Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp. The safari guide was very competent and gave me all the information about the animals encountered. The park is very vast and the camps are very well organized.
The Gem of South Africa
Took me two days to find the big 5 and saw a abundance of other wildlife including beautiful birds at the different hides throughout the park. Some places have amazing scenery like the Most Southern Baobab and the Fever Tree forest up in the north of the park. Weather was sunny with high temperature, had a few days of rain aswell but mostly clear sky’s. Chalets were clean and cleaned while driving for the day. Food is great in Skukuza and Lower Sabie but other camps like Satara was not the standard you would expect but still decent enough. We drove with our own vehicle and it was fruitful. Most leopards were spotted in the south of the park. I would recommend going to Kruger if your native to South Africa or from abroad, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Really amazing experience
This has been my 2nd safari experience. Everything went in a woderfull way. We (couple) organized all by ourselves, booking via the official website of the park. We spent three whole days driving our car in the southern part of the Kruger. We had the chance to see a lot of animals (4 out of the 5 big, we missed the lion). We spent our nights in the camps (Lower Sabie and Skukuza): both are really nice, well organized and clean, even if we preferred the LS. We had two organized safari, one in the afternoon/night (good experience) and one by walk early in the morning (not really a interesting experience). We also had dinner into the camps (good). We were in South Africa two weeks before Christmas so we didn't find a lot of tourist and we had the opportunity to maximize our Kruger's experience.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Andrés
A bit crowded around cheetahs, lions, etc. I prefer not to imagine it in the summer!

Review about Amboseli National Park by Andrés
The "grid" of trenches between marshes detracted from the beauty. Otherwise awesome.

The most amazing African adventure ever!
We were fortunate enough to have 5 days with Walking Sticks and their team and had the most amazing African adventure. We knew before hand that they were are more basic tour group and not a luxury lodge outfit, but that is what we wanted. We are the type of travellers that want to expirience the raw taste and smell of a country and don't mind roughing it to achieve that feeling. Old, but reliable 4 wheel Toyota Landcruiser go anywhere vehicle, canvas tent, long drop toilet with canvas sides, bucket shower hanging in a tree. The food, made over an open fire was fantastic especially since my wife is lactose and gluten interolant , but they were able to cater for all her needs. Even the small things to make the experience memorable, like a gin and tonic for the lady and beer for the man at the end of a long hot but exciting day.
I could go on for ever about how the guide was able to find the right spot for game viewing and we were fortunate enough to see some really interesting game up close. Thank you Phillimon, Michael and the crew.
If you want a real experience of Africa, it's smells and sights and not too concerned with comfort, then Walking Sticks is for you!
