Botswana mobile safari
On safari again thanks to rose and her team we headed for Botswana and took a luxury mobile safari which was unbelievable, they were producing soufflés from a portable tin box which goes in the ground! There was wildlife in our private camp every night and our guide had been brought up in the bush and knew everything about everything. We didn't see another vehicle but saw leopard, wild dog and tonnes of elephants.

Review about Kenya by Maciek Bit
I think Kenia is economically the best place to visit.
Awesome variety of habitats packed into 1 park
Murchison falls offers such a rich variety of habitats, that one could easily spend 3-4 completely absorbing days here. The park is bordered on the south by the Budongo Forest, which offers the chance to track chimpanzees and colobus monkeys on foot, and in the north, the open savannah rivals the Masai Mara for scenic beauty.
On our game drives in the north, we literally saw an individual antelope every 100 metres for about 3 hours. The game density here is incredible. To top it all off is the Nile, that bisects the park, and which is home to hundreds of hippopotamus and crocodile. The latter are found in greatest numbers at the base of the Murchison Falls, as they lie in wait for dead and injured Nile Perch (which grow to over 80 kg) to come down the falls. The Murchison Falls are a highlight in themselves, and the 90 minute hike from the base to the top is well worth doing, if you are a reasonable fit individual. The excellent launch trips on the river are essential for any visitor.
The park is a must see for birders, with the legendary and very rare Shoebill regularly sighted on the Nile as it enters Lake Albert. The Budongo Forest is a refuge for several headline forest species, and one can spot nightjars on the main road into the park.

An uforgettable adventure!
It was my first trip to an African Park - and it was of course Amboselli National Park. This journey was so amazing that is started everything and now I am after 4 visits to Africa. This park is something like inverted zoo. People are hidden behind the fence and animals are watching them from their natural environment. Amboselli National Park is a place where I took one of my best pictures although then I have visited another three African places and many more parks (I can't even count them right now ;) ). After countries Uganda - Rwanda - Zambia - RPA - Namibia I still remember that everything started in Amboselli.

Great wild life adventure
It was our first trip to Africa. We booked the unfenced Satao Camp. It was an amazing experience to be able to view the animals from our tent, comming to the water hole. All stuff at the camp are very friendly, brilliant service and food. We learned a lot about the nature and wildlife of Africa. We learned to love Africa. Our trip is more than a year ago, but we still dreaming of it and decided to go again to Africa latest next year.

The most memorable wildlife experience of our lives!
We went to Tsavo when we were on our honeymoon, this is the first time we have done a safari and certainly will not be the last! We did two game drives a day, morning and afternoon, in between we were back at the lodges for our meals, all the food was beautiful, rooms to a high standard, staff very friendly and helpful, all the drives were very well organised, our driver was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and great fun to be with. I would recommend a safari for adults and grown up children only as the game drives are around 2-3 hours long with a lot of driving in between lodges etc. and young children perhaps wouldn't have the patience or be able to stay quiet around the animals. Overall it was the best holiday we have ever had, we saw all the big 5, made some wonderful friends and memories to last a lifetime and we will definately return one day!

Review about Amboseli National Park by Kaylee Le C
We enjoyed Amboseli, but the animals were further away than at Tsavo.
Review about Kenya by MattyK81
Kenya combines the amazing wildlife and scenery of a safari destination with the ease of accessibility. Flights operate to Nairobi and Mombasa from many major European cities. Coming from the US is a bit rough, but if you're not particular about which airline you take or where you have a layover it's still very accessible.
The only real complaint I have is that the brochures from other safaris looked better than the safari I took. I don't know if this is a case of "The grass is always greener" but I had a great vacation and an incredible safari!
