Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by ilovesouthafrica
I was at Pilanesberg in spring and had the experience of a lifetime... Hordes of giraffe prancing in sun-drenched fields; zebra, wildebeest, and springbok all grazing and relaxing together and with their young; a large pride of lions in a collective, placid siesta... Don't miss it. Make sure to put this Park on your itinerary!!!

The best way to observe wildlife in their natural habitat!
This was my first safari experience and I absolutely loved it. The pristine beauty of the land at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve; the diversity of animals and fauna; and best of all, the ability to observe wildlife in their natural habitat, is an experience I have not forgotten. The Reserve is easily accessible from Durban and should be on the must-see lists of all visitors to this beautiful part of South Africa!

Review about Tanzania by AfricaontheNile
I have only been to Tanzania, Namibia and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and of the three, Tanzania wins hands down for wildlife. However, if you're into the dunes in the Namib Desert and shopping in some of the cities, then Namibia will be right up your alley. We only went to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe so we didn't see enough for me to comment about it.

Kasanka is a small but mighty park, hosting millions of migrating straw-colored fruit bats each year
The annual migration of five million straw-coloured fruit bats is an amazing sight and Kasanka National Park is an amazing place to view the spectacle. The fruit bats migrate from mid-October to mid-December, and every night the sky is filled with millions of bats heading out for their evening meals. Although the bats are an once-in-a-lifetime experience, Kasanka is definitely worth visiting year-round. The park hosts a large population of puku and many other antelope, including the world’s most visible population of sitatunga. The park is also home to a small herd of elephants, including a brand new baby. Kasanka is also a great place for birders, hosting over 400 species of birds, including several that are rare – namely the shoebill. The scenery is beautiful, mostly mimobo woodlands, but also wetlands and drier areas. This allows for a wide variety of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life throughout the park.
Kasanka hosts two lodges (Wasa & Luwombwa) that are both within the park limits. There are also campsites located throughout the park that allow you to get a closer experience with the wildlife. Another great feature of the park are the tree hides, which are a unique way to view wildlife any time of the year. The staff members are all very helpful and can assist you with pretty much everything during your visit. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, not just about the big animals, but also about the birds, trees, and the people of the area.
While you won’t get to see the “Big 5,” Kasanka is a great stop for anyone visiting Zambia! The birdlife, the annual migration of millions of straw-colored fruit bats, and the scenery are worth a visit to this small park in central Zambia.

Wondrous creatures in a gorgeous wild setting as Mother Earth intended; a chance of a lifetime.
This is a gorgeous wild park; if you only get to go to one park in Tanzania...this is it. All the animals are here and the other parks simply repeat parts of your experience here. Enjoy watching the natural world as it was meant to be. Amazing!!
