Review about Kruger National Park by architectkzn
Overall rating
5/5

Largest of our game parks and again during the peak season it can get a bit busy.
Best time to visit I have found was during August - September time and I have spotted plenty of game during this time.

Awesome Breathtaking Game Park. The best kept secret in southern Africa.
Overall rating
5/5

I went to the park on a Photographic Safari. We had Two vehicles and 10 photographers, with Mellisa and Willie as our guides. The weather was exceptionally cold that year, reching to -10 degrees celcius in the mornings. I stayed at Twee Revieren and at Nossob Camps. Nossob Camp was our main camp and we did daily drives from the camp to the various watering holes and spotted many wild game species during the early morning and late afternoon drives.

Wildlife spotted the Lion, Cheetahs, Leopard, Wildebeest, Gemsbok, Springbok, Meerkats, Jackals, Ostriches, Owls, Eagles, Goshawks, Bee-eaters, Kories.
The desert scenery and the skies are spectacular, especially the quality of the light and the air as this area is not inundated with any form of pollution. The evening skies are clear and the stars shine in the night sky. The Nossob Camp has a hide and a webcam. The hide is well visited by different animals at night, and during the day. We took the self catering camps so we carried our own food and cooked on the site our meals. The little shop is stocked with the bare necessaties and is a little expensive, as they have to cart the supplies in from quite a distance. The Twee Revieren Camp is the main entrance camp and the store is more stocked up with groceries.
Transportation, we had two game vehicles and guides. The game vehicles were perfect for the photography course. One can self drive through the park, but parts of the areas are accesible only via 4x4 vehicles.

Our guides were very knowledgable about the ecosystem and the fauna and flora of the park.

Higlight for me was the spotting of the young male leopard.

Regards
Prakash.

5/5

I have visited about 10 countries in Africa. Kenya has the best wildlife, is one of the most beautiful scenically, has a great bush vibe about it and has the best birding I have seen. It is harder to do on your own (easier than Tanzania but much harder than South Africa).

The country is in its infancy and hence not that overdevelopd to scar the natural habitat. The pricing structure of the wild card enables a local South African to still enjoy the game park.

Review about Okavango Delta by Pavel U
Overall rating
5/5

This is a unique water world that cannot be experienced anywhere else. Visitors going to Okavango should not primarily want to see many animals. The secret of Okavango is its water, the hidden channels, the islands, the remoteness. And you must experience this from a makoro, not from a motor boat.

Review about Okavango Delta by jingleby
Overall rating
5/5

Absolutely fantastic! Slightly qualified on the wildlife and birds - what we saw was excellent, and so much more gripping in a way because you're on foot. But they are slightly more wary of people on foot than in a vehicle (slightly counter-intuitive!) so we didn't get as close, and we didn't see any big predators (which is a very good thing!!!).

The goverment of Botswana seem to have aimed to have low volume tourism (at a slightly higher cost) which means you see more wildlife that seems less stressed with fewer tourists. Surely the perfect approach!
