Review about Tembe Elephant Park by architectkzn
Overall rating
4/5

The biggest and most spectacular "tuskers" I have photographed in Southern Africa come from this park. It is a bit off the beaten track and on a gravel path to get there but once there you do definetly get the bush vibe.

Review about Spioenkop Game Reserve by architectkzn
Overall rating
3/5

This is a landscape photographers dream. One can head off to the nearby Drakensberg Mountains and take spectacular photographs and enjoy the vast scenic mountain range scenery of the are. The local culutral village near Phutijaba isvery informative in terms of the cultural lives of the early San People who had inhabitated the region.

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by architectkzn
Overall rating
4/5

This is the primier game park in KZN, and is world renowed for the white and black rhinos, and I have regularly spotted, lions, elephants, and other game in the park.
The bush vibe can be lost during the peak holiday seasons, dec- jan school holidays in South Africa, with lots of tourist busses and day- trippers zooming aournd the park. Off season it is a peacefull and wonderfull place to take a weekend break.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by architectkzn
Overall rating
4/5

Small park compared to Kruger, but highly recomended as it is next to a primier destination like the Sun City Hotel Complex. Visited this park and spotted the big cats on a morning game drive, and the quality of light was very nice to photograph.

4/5

Primier destination for birding in KZN. The hides are well located and visited by the many species of birdlife, both migratory and resident species abound in this park.

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.
