Review about Etosha National Park by bianca
It's 10 o'clock in the morning at Chudop waterhole. Springbok and impalas are at the water. Shy kudus stand at the edge of bushes, slowly coming closer. Nervous giraffes double and triple check their surroundings before bending way down for a drink. Thirsty zebras come trotting right into the water, causing wonderful stripey reflections. Where else can you find such a huge selection of animals coming to drink together. It is possible to spend hours just sitting at a waterhole, watching the comings and goings. Playful elephants, goofy guinea fowl, a bad tempered rhino and shuffling wildebeest all take their turns. It is a wildlife paradise!

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by bianca
Landscapes. The Namib Naukluft is all about landscapes. The colours of the sand dunes at sunrise, the rugged rock formations of the Kuiseb canyon and the ancient leaves of the Welwitchia plant all invite you to get out and explore this fascinating desert. My favourite place is Dead Vlei, where camelthorn trees that have been dead for 500 years stretch their black limbs towards an impossibly blue sky. The scene reminds me of a Dali painting and I am always double checking if their are any clocks draped over the tree branches.

Review about Zambezi Region by bianca
The Caprivi is very different from the rest of Namibia. It's marshes and great rivers full of hippos and crocodiles are surrounded by lush vegetation, which is home to a huge variety of birds too.
Review about Hwange National Park by T Sharp
I truly enjoyed the park in Hwange, and it was very apparent why it is such a desired safari destination. I saw a lot of wildlife, which was not only varied, but seemed thriving. It is an interesting mix of flora and fauna, and I hope to be able to return soon.

Have been there 05+06. + Nice park+wildlife,Accomodation. - rather busy park
Wildlife,Accomodation and transportation very good. Unfortunately the park is rather busy with quite a lot of visitors that is why you don't really feel like in the wilderness. But it is not yet mass tourism.

Review about Kruger National Park by Colin Summersgill
The possibility of seeing virtually any animal is always exciting. The fascination of being able to see just about any behaviour is also a bonus.
The park is so immense that it is impossible to rate all of it's scenery. There are certainly parts that are exceptionally beautiful, but others that can be monotonous.
The vibe can vary from completely brilliant to very frustrating, depending on the tourist season and business. There always parts where one can get away though and be alone in the bush.
The birding can be absolutely exceptional, again always with the excitement of the possibility of virtually anything turning up.

Review about Spioenkop Game Reserve by Colin Summersgill
Varied game in a fairly small park, can include white rhino, eland & kudu.
This is a beautiful reserve with thorn veld and a large expanse of water. The north bank of the lake is also interesting with the Spioenkop mountain dominating the park.
The north bank certainly allows a better vibe as it is more remote and has less visitors.
Birding can be good with some bushveld specials. Summer can be exceptional with the variety of cuckoos a highlight.

Review about Ithala Game Reserve by Colin Summersgill
A large park with different game across the very varied habitat.
Scenery is immense with the park dropping from 1450 masl at the mountain tops to 340 m where the Pongola River leaves the park. Habitats include thornveld, grasslands, river valley bush and cliffs.
You can virtually get lost in your own little valleys looking for wildlife. Some roads are sealed, but given the nature of the terrain this does make life easier.
Birding is excellent, the varied habitat and altitude allowing a large variety of species to make the park their home.
