Review about Botswana by farleycw
The country appears to be English-speaking, tourist-friendly, well organized and well run. It's very close to Victoria Falls which is a big attraction on its own.

Review about Lake Bogoria National Reserve by CedricVandermeulen
Not that much wildlife in Bogoria - birding essentially, and a sometimes questionable scenic beauty due to the roadside pollution.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by CedricVandermeulen
Difficult to get to, off the beaten track, however, with animals that are difficult to see in other parks, such as the Oryx and the Gerenuk. Avoid in the dry season as animals tend to migrate south to areas with a bit more water.

Review about Kakamega Forest National Reserve by CedricVandermeulen
"Forest" is not how I would describe the few hecaters of trees that make up Kakamega Forest National Reserve. If you want to experience a tropical rainforest, go elsewhere (Democratic Republic of Congo, for example).
Review about Botswana by lopaisate
I would, and have, tell anyone and everyone to go to Botswana. I loved it there and would go back in a heartbeat.

Review about Nairobi National Park by CedricVandermeulen
If you only have half a day, go. If you have more then 2 days, avoid. Crowded, polluted, and although there is wildlife, the park is also crowded. But find your spot / area well, and you might be rewarded !

Review about Meru National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Although the wildlife is more difficult to spot, it is so much more rewarding when you finally find those lions / leopards / elephants. Everything is there. The park with the most beautiful light in Kenya.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by CedricVandermeulen
Try to go during the wildebeest migration (July to October) and it will be difficult to beat the sensation in any other park. Exceptional - all the relatives are rightly so in place.

Thinus is a 5 star operator!
We have travelled with Thinus and CrissCross the last three times we have been in Africa, and we're returning again this December. Once again we and our friends have a tailor-made trip ahead of us, that we have designed from scratch with Thinus: This time we're starting in Namibia, then we cross into Botswana and then end up in Zambia. 3 weeks of wilderness and wildlife. Cannot wait to return!
Apart from being the best tour operator we've ever travelled with in Africa, CrissCross is 100% locally owned - meaning that all your money spend on any trip (apart from the flight tickets, of course) will end up in the hands of people actually living in Africa, which we find is very important. Mind you, most tour operators offering trips to Africal these days are in fact based out-side of the continent, hence only part of the investment you make, when you book a trip to this fantastic continent, will in fact benefit people living on it. Worth a consideration - and one other reason why Thinus and CrissCross come very highly recommended from us and all friends we have travelled with to date.
