Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Mike SF
No vast herds of animals, but the setting in the crater is unbelievable.

Heavenly luxury in the wild
We stayed at arathusa lodge which was made up of several small bungalows around a lake where animals came to drink. The rooms were stunning and being able to see wildlife over breakfast was fantastic! The rangers were terrific and we saw all of the big 5 close up. Not too many other tourists around either, just miles of open land full of prowling or sleeping beasts! Game drives were twice a day and followed by huge meals served by the lake - the whole experience was outstanding, highly recommended and we will definitely go back!
Tanzania takes your breath away
From the moment our guide collected us at Kilimanjaro airport, we knew we were in for a holiday experience of a lifetime.
Our guide's knowledge of his country, its history and of course, his knowledge of the parks and wildlife we encountered, was first class.
We spent seven days traveling starting at Arusha, through to Lake Manyara and then on to the Ngorongoro crater and through to the Serengeti. Everyday and every park brought a new experience and a new encounter...my first view of the Ngorongoro crater is one I will remember forever, as was seeing the wildebeast migration in the Serengeti ...both occasions brought a lump to my throat!
Scenically the parks we visited were all very different and if you're traveling to Tanzania I would recommend you take in as many parks as possible so you really feel you're experiencing everything this country has to offer.
All the camps we stayed at were of a very high standard, good food, clean rooms, battery charging facilities etc etc and the country seems to have a very good infrastructure in place - good main roads / airports.
We were spoilt when it came to wildlife, encountering the Big Five on numerous occasions and it's something I could never tire of.
We've had safaris in Kenya on many occasions but our time in Tanzania was way and above what we'd experienced in Kenya. We had very high expectations for the holiday and it delivered way and above on every level.

Review about Namibia by woods950
Abundant wildlife and feeling like civilization hasn't really hit this country yet are the two things that I love about Namibia and was glad I was able to spend a part of my life (7 months) living in Opuwo. Go to Opuwo.

It's huge! Seeing the migration with wildebeast coming from every direction was awesome.

Amazing place. From the view at the top of the crater through to the bottom of the crater. We saw our first white rhinos here.
