Review about Tsavo East National Park by Mark Hancock
Not as much wildilfe as Samburu or the Masai Mara but quieter, with less safari vehicles.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Mark Hancock
Lake Nakuru was much better than I had expected to be. I knew it was justly famous for it's birdlife but hadn't realised there were so many other animals there. I have given only 2 stars for 'Bush vibe' because it did feel a little like we were in a commercial safari park like the ones in the UK.

Review about Shimba Hills National Reserve by Mark Hancock
OK for a breif excursion if you are staying nearby but I wouldn't choose it as a main safari destination is there isn't much wildlife to see.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Mark Hancock
What else is there to say? The 'daddy' of safari destinations with lots and lots of wildilfe spolit only slightly but quite a lot of safari vehicles, which is understandble.

Fanstastic experience which exceeded our expectations.
My wife, 14 year old son and I stayed at Samburu Intrepids camp and were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived to the moment we boarded our safari plane to leave. I cannot think of anything we didn't like about the camp. We had a safari jeep and a guide, whose name was Jelly, all to ourselves. Jelly was excellent and went out of his way to find the animals for us. Before every game drive he would ask if there was any particular animal we wanted to see and he never failed to find the animals we mentioned. The scenery was beautiful with hills and escarpments and the wildlife was plentiful but we often felt like we were the only people on safari there. Usually only when there was a 'special' sighting would we see other safari vehicles and we sometimes had these special sightings all to ourselves. Like the time we watched 3 cheetahs from the same family behaving aggresively towards another lone cheetach, a video of which is on YouTube. I have rated every aspect of the safari as 5 stars apart from the wildlife which I gave 4 and that is only because we also went to the Masai Mara where the wildlife was even more plentiful.

Review about Kenya by Mark Hancock
We love Kenya as a safari destination. We've been twice and wouldn't hesitate to return.
Review about Kruger National Park by Drew C
Kruger is amazing but you're stuck to the roads. For a more entrenched experience, try visiting Sabi Sands.
Review about Sabi Sand Game Reserve by Drew C
You will never get an experience like this almost anywhere else in the world. Off roading that gets you side by side with the wildlife!
