Review about Botswana by Scott and Mark
In my review of Chobe National Park you will see why I rate Botswana so highly as a Safari destination. Overall, the people are remarkably friendly and proud of their country, its history and leaders. Even through areas of extreme poverty, there was a consistent expression of pride. The scenic beauty, isolation, and unspoiled expanses of land are worth the trip.

Review about Tanzania by jonnyboy1403
There is everything there to see, but you might just have to be a little more patient and observation than in some other safari's, but that just makes all it more worthwhile

The best safari experience I had in Africa
While I was volunteering in Africa, myself and several other volunteers took a week-long trip to Zimbabwe to go on outdoor adventures. The game drive in Hwange National Park was my personal favorite.
We saw ostriches, zebras, impala, elephants, giraffes, kudu, rhinos, but best of all were the lions. We came across lions in the midst of a hunt. It's rare for them to hunt during the day and even though we didn't witness the inevitable conclusion, it was interesting to watch from a viewpoint designed for tourists as the lions stalked and chased after zebras and impala.
Our guide was clearly very experienced and far better at spotting wildlife than any of us, but he was also endlessly patient, stopping the car for everyone to get a look at each sight. We also only encountered one other group of tourists the entire day, which added greatly to the atmosphere.
Our drive was cut a bit short by an incoming storm, but that's a risk you take in the middle of the rainy season, which I would still argue is the best time to go on safari, despite the fact that it eschews traditional logic. Also known as "the emerald season," the scenery is much more colorful, vibrant, and abundant, but finding accommodations may become somewhat more difficult. Still, it's worth a try and Hwange has a great deal more to offer than wildlife alone. Simply being there was a joy.

Review about Idube Game Reserve by jmambroa
It is a very exclusive area where only the people staying at the reserve can enjoy the place, which means there are always few cars around. Besides people are not allowed to drive by their own.

Exceeded my first safari expectations
It was my first safari ever, and it was just amazing. I did not expect to watch the wildlife such as near as I did. I was able to see the big five (leopards, lions, rhinos, elefants and buffalos), but also many others like giraffes, zebras, monkies, kudus, impalas, and a lot more whose name I cannot remember. I was amazed also about the variety and quantity of birds.
I overnighted in a luxury lodge, where everything was just perfect: the food, the acommodation, the staff, the safari drives, the bushwalks...
I am sure I will repeat this unforgettable experience in the future.
