Review about Lake Manyara National Park by ssilberman
The hippo park was the highlight of this park... And, boy, did we see hippos! There were also storks and buzzards. No climbing lions, despite signs.

Review about Arusha National Park by ssilberman
This was our first park we visited. The animals were further away but it was that first amazing view of a giraffe in the wild.... The flow of its walk... This was one of the prettiest of all the parks we saw -- with the trees.

Every moment was to be cherished
I've always loved animals but I may never be able to return to a zoo again.... With Restoration Safaris as our guide --- Bariki and Alphayo -- and the animals as our entertainment, not a moment was wasted. When animals were not around, we learned about the animals and about Africa and its people. When animals were around, Bariki and Alphayo would point out how the movement of the tail or the ears was signalling upcoming action. Point the camera... wait... now!! And we saw action!! It's a joke to call our accommodations tents since we had running water, hot showers (by request) and gourmet dining. This was my dream trip before I left and, still, it was never disappointing. The only problem.... I've got to return!!

Review about Spioenkop Game Reserve by Gary Longshaw
Never too busy, lots of associated activities to take part in on the da, and the feeling of having Giraffe, Myriad types of buck, warthogs and other small wildlife walking around so close to you that you could touch them is a unique and rewarding experience.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Gary Longshaw
Nice, albeit fairly small, and quite commercialised. Some good wildlife spotting opportunities and an interesting history, along with first class amenities make it a nice tourist destination for a one or two day visit.

Review about Karoo National Park by Gary Longshaw
I visited this as the Karoo certainly has its own type of Harsh beauty, and there are certain fauna and flora that you simply dont get anywhere else. It is not for your casual tourist, as you wont get that big game wow factor, but if your serious about natural beaty and rare fauna and flora, and deafening night silence under an amazingly clear night sky, then you'll truly appreciate it's harsh uniqeness

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by Gary Longshaw
Being nearer to the Coast, it is a more humid climate, and thick vegetation can make game viewing a bit of a challenge. Facilities are a bit meagre compared to some other reserves, but on the whole it is a great breakaway destination and gives that full Night in the Bush feeling.

Review about Addo Elephant National Park by Gary Longshaw
Perhaps Ive been spoiled, but the diversity and abundance of WIldlife here isnt as good as some of the other reserves.

Always an amazing experience that keeps me coming back year after year
This was about my 20th holiday in the Kruger National park. In the space of 4 days we got close up and personal with the entire Big 5, and more, and experienced the true beauty of wild Africa at its best. This place never fails to impress me, Ive been coming here since I was a child, and will continue to return as often as I can for as long as I am able to do so.
