Review about Mokala National Park by Johan B van Niekerk
Mokala is best visited in the cooler months.
Review about Golden Gate Highlands National Park by Johan B van Niekerk
Lovely surroundings especially if you stay in the log cabins in the mountain. I still want to go up there in the winter
Review about Augrabies Falls National Park by Johan B van Niekerk
We did not encounter any "wow" moments at Augrabies
One of the best South African Safari destinations.
PGR is one of my favourite destinations in South Africa. It boasts great numbers of game including the Big 5. One can do self drives or go on a game drive with knowledgeable guides.

Review about Okavango Delta by C H
We stayed at Pom Pom camp and although we did not see much on the 3 game drives during our 3 night stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride on the delta as well as the makoro experience.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by C H
We stayed in Sango and were disappointed overall. game drives with the exception of the first morning were very long and not much wildlife. Guide was not very interested. Overall we would have skipped this one.

Review about Makgadikgadi Pans National Park by C H
Very difficult to see wildlife. Due to the rains we were unable to quad and sleep under the stars. However, the brilliant part were the meerkats. Amazing creatures. I would also suggest the bushmen walk was very contrived and some of their group even seemed to be a bit bored. I felt this was a way for them to make money and felt obliged. The explanations were interesting but I would have rather donated to a cause.

Amazing elephant river crossings
Guide was great. The boat ride on the river was an amazing way to see the wildlife from a different perspective. Wildlife was a bit scarce but we did have two river crossings to watch with elephants which was the key highlight. Great sunsets. Chobe Elephant Camp was great, the staff were very accommodating.

Review about Nxai Pan National Park by bobbybradley
We went in November and the wildlife was mostly gone from the park. The scenic beauty and solitude of the park are unmatched though.

Self Drive Safari Dream
Moremi is a paradise for self drive safari-goers. We went in early November which is considered the off season, but, as such, there were very few people in the camps and on the roads. However, the wildlife viewing was second to none and because of the lack of people we enjoyed many sightings all to ourselves including a pair of lions, leopard in a tree on a kill and countless other non-predator sightings. Be sure to take a morning and go for a makoro (basically a wood canoe) ride through the channels. It was a very peaceful experience. Finally, the biggest advice for Moremi is to make sure you have a well equipped 4x4 and drive responsibly. While we never got stuck we did have to help get a couple get out of a mud hole that they had business driving through. The roads are tough, but if you are smart you'll have no problems.
