Great scenery, full with huge baobabs, and all the elephants you ever dreamed of seeing.
Review about Tanzania by squishsquish
Tanzania was a fantastic safari destination - it is less congested than other locales and offers good value for money.

Amazing wildlife, but among crowds of people
Tanzania is a wonderful country to visit, I stayed over a month, and could see just a corner. Besides the well known parks in the north corridor, there´s the more tranquil parks in the south, some of them scarcely visited, and of course Zanzibar is a mandatory destination, and many more places worth your time if you are in the mood for some adventure. Unfortunately, wherever there´s a main tourist attraction, entry fees are extremely high. Outside the north corridor, distances are long and travel is slow. Public transportation leaves room for desire. Wildlife is just unbelievable. Accomodation ranges from very poor to extremely luxurious, you can stay by very cheaply (outside the parks) or enjoy an incredible confort in amazing locations, but in this cases -inside the national parks- prices are very high by any standart. BE careful when choosing your safari company.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Chrissy Olson
We went gorilla trekking in Bwindi. It's an incredibly lush rainforest filled with exotic sounds and smells. We found the Mubare group of gorilla’s after about 2 hours of trekking and spent a blissful hour among the gentle giants.

Review about Mgahinga Gorilla National Park by GreenDK
Great scenery, on the border with Rwanda and the DRC! One can go see gorillas and probably birding is great there too. I went for the scenery and for a dive in the (perfect) crater lake on top of the volcano! For this specific trip all is not too polished. I guess that (for the price) a gorilla visit should be a lot smoother...
Review about Murchison Falls National Park by liesje
The falls and the river make this park different, but it's also very touristy.
An alternative, adventurous safari.
Many different animals to see, and a very unspoilt view because almost no tourists go there. Besides the rides in our car, we also did a walking trip, which was nice, because it's very different. Our ranger was very professional and a nice and interesting person. We camped in the park and cooked our own food on a fire, which adds to the 'bush vibe', but if you want a lot of comfort it's probably not the best place. Also the (long) journey through the country to get to the park was very interesting in my opinion. If you have time, it's a very good choice.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Ezequiel
Easy introduction to safari experience, you´ll see plenty of animals, although big cats are not for granted. It is the most popular safari place in Uganda, hence more crowded, but still nothing compared to some parks in neighboring countries.

Amazing landscape, all yours to enjoy in splendid solitude.
Kidepo valley is a fascinating place, there´s a real adventure feel to it. There´s hardly any tourist, so you can enjoy the place pretty much to yourself and your group. The trip to get there is also an amazing route across barely visited areas of the country. The wildlife is not so abundant as in some other parks of East Africa, but in the three days we spent there we got to see at close-up lions, giraffes, giant herds of buffalo and zebras everywhere, among several others. And an elephant who was seating in front of the car , over the only road, and refused to leave, for hours. Great experience, Kidepo.
