A lifetime experience everyone has to have!
I went to 2 different resorts, Elephant Plains and Nkorho Bush Lodge. I spent a total of 5 days in the Sabi Sands Game reserve. Our group saw the big 5 (leopard, lion, rhino, cape buffalo, and the elephant) in the first 2 days. If you want to see wildlife you will see plenty of it, the list is very long. Our guides (rangers and trackers) were 100% great at both places. The rangers were extremely educated. They could answer any question we had on the animals and plant life. The trackers too were extremely gifted and trained. These guys are professionals. The weather in March was perfect, mid to high 80's everyday. Accommodations and food at both of these resorts were perfect, zero complaints. The scenery was very nice, the African bush is just beautiful. I'll also add that these safaris are extremely safe. We would pull right up to lions and they'd care less. Never once for a second felt unsafe.
As for highlights, my god its impossible to just select one. One of my favorite moments was when our group came around a bend, and "Bam" there were 7 huge giraffes standing there eating. These animals are just amazing, huge, and beautiful. Another moment I will never forget is when we stopped right next to a herd of elephants. They were basically 10 feet away, walked right next to us towards a watering hole, and they all drank water and put on a show for us. I have 19 gigs of video from my safaris and will never forget one moment of them. I will be going back to Africa again. The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is just loaded with wildlife and I have nothing negative whatsoever to say about it. Its a beautiful part of this world full of the most beautiful animals and plant life you will ever see. Its a must go.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Huge, enormous park (2/3th of Belgium !), so it has everything - but know where to go, or you might drive for hours without seeing a lot.

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).
