Review about Ngorongoro Crater by JerseyMolly
While we didn't get very close to the animals at the crater, the scenery alone was worth the trip. It was magnificent!

Unspoiled beauty
It was an amazing trip, I only wish that it was longer, I would've liked to spend more time at the Ngorongoro crater. It was definitely the highlight of this trip, a unique ecosystem that's been preserved in it's present state for many years. We were fortunate to see a pack of hyenas hunt wildebeest, that's not something I'd ever expected to see. At Lake Manyara we were able to observe several families of elephants, they walked right alongside our jeep, so close that we could see their eyelashes. Lake Manyara is also a birder's paradise and a home of great many baboons. One word of caution - it was very dusty, bring a mask or a bandanna to tie around your face, and drink lots of water.

quite nice
Generally, a very nice experience. But I would strongly suggest that one needs to go there with a local guide, otherwise you can easily miss things.
A walk to the waterfall is a must - but please make sure that you have a hat, plenty of water and are actually able to climb back onto the hill. Most importantly, always follow what the ranger says - and do not go there without him.

Review about Serengeti National Park by docnico
Serengeti is so vast, and yet you can find remote places where you'll find yourself face to face not with tourists coaches, but wildbeest migration instead. You can't be disappointed with Serengeti and a good guide.

Review about Ruaha National Park by Anna de'Capitani
Ruaha National park is one of the best destination in Tanzania for game viewing during the dry season. Rivers water concentrate wildlife and you can see a lot of animals around. Landscapes are beautiful and variuos, there are just a few camps so not so many peoples around....

Review about Tarangire National Park by Kirill
My wife and me saw many elephants and could observe their family life with their babies. We liked to see a lot of other animals there and many beatiful baobabs.

Review about Kidepo Valley National Park by Ash G
If you want to see cats in Uganda - Kidepo is your park. Getting to Kidepo can be a logistical nightmare, most people fly into the park, others brave the drive. The roads, depending on the time of year, can be tricky. It's important to call the park ahead of time to get information on the roads to determine if they are passable. I drove there in a 4x4 and had zero problems. The scenery is astounding, the wildlife - even better. We were lucky enough to stumble upon a pride of lions eating an elephant, we were a mere 7 feet away from them.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Ash G
Murchison is a very popular park in Uganda. There are lots of great option for safaris with this park - I suggest doing the game drive, boat tour, and falls hike. You cannot go to Murchison and miss out on the falls - they are breathtaking.

Bwindi National Park is well worth every hard hike and every hard earned dollar.
My trip to Bwindi to trek gorillas was absolutely incredible, it's a must-do for anyone traveling to Uganda. Uganda is one of only a few countries that offers this experience, it's a beautiful and lavish country to trek in.
The staff at Bwindi is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The trek to find the gorillas ranges in time and difficulty; a hike can take from 1-5 hours and can be strenuous depending where the gorillas are located that day. I suggest wearing your best hiking boots and brining a lot of water.
The family of gorillas in Bwindi are not threatening at all, the staff have been working with the families for years and they have become quite accustomed to people. One of my top life experiences.

Review about Kenya by nick tsurikov
Relatively safe country and quite developed 'safari' business. Sure, there may be other places and destinations, but Kenya is so far appears to be very good.
