Overall rating
4/5

we were very lucky, the weather was good. The way to the gorillas was exhausting (especially for my wife) but we reach the gorillas after one and a half hour. We were lucky to see the whole family (silverback with babies) in a meadow, so we had enough light for photos (if you like I can send you more photos) . After an hour we go back in an very happy mood.

we saw chimps in its own habitat, not enough time for birding or to lock for other monkeys

I found Marakele a great Safari destination because of the overall beauty and fauna and flora diversity. The reserve consists of anything from open grass fields to mountain ranges and the climate is moderate. It is highly recommended to make use of the excellent guides available on their safari tours. Nature lovers will find what they are looking for, whether it is plants, birds or the larger wildlife. Marakele is a great safari destination which I highly recommend...

Best park of our safari!
Overall rating
5/5

Three friends & I booked a private safari and visited the Masai Mara (3 days), the Serengeti (3 days -- 1 in the western area & 2 in central area), Ngorongoro Crater (1 day), and Tarangire (2 days). Without a doubt, our favorite area was the Central Serengeti -- although it didn't have the masses of wildebeest and zebra as the Masai Mara (since the Great Migration was in the Mara during that time), the sheer variety of wildlife and animal interactions in the central Serengeti was astounding.

In our two days in the central Serengeti, we saw two cheetah hunts (both unsuccessful), five leopards (including a mother with two teenage cubs in a tree), ostrich dancing & mating (not to be missed), hippos fighting in the Retina hippo pool, and so much more. The other safari areas were wondeful as well, but the central Serengeti was the real highlight and highly recommended, any time of the year. However make sure you have a great guide as our Tanzanian guide had so much more bird & wildlife knowledge than our Kenyan guide, and that made a huge difference in the enjoyment of our trip.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Alice Chen, San Francisco, USA
Overall rating
5/5

Wonderful microcosm of wildlife, with so many types of animals within such a small space! Unfortunately there were lots of other vehicles there too, but with a little bit of work you can avoid most of them. We saw a pack of hyenas chasing a cheetah here -- priceless!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Alice Chen, San Francisco, USA
Overall rating
4/5

Wow, so many elephants, this is truly prime elephant country, especially when you look at the horizon and see a herd of over two hundred elephants in the distance! We also saw two leopards, one with a kill in a tree, and our camp (Taragire Safari Lodge) is totally unfenced so lots of gazelles wandering around. However the landscape was a bit dry and not that pretty, and maybe because it was at the end of our safari but we didn't see many "new" animals except for dik dik of which there were quite a few. However it's a great park and probably best visited at the start of a safari, not the end.

Beside mammals, the avifauna is just incredible diverse, be prepared for many new species on your personal list!

Fantastic and unique opportunity to encounter the majestic mountain gorilla!
Overall rating
5/5

After one long day drive on the bumpy Ugandan roads, all available accommodations provide clean rooms and friendly customer service, local food and even cold beers! Next day after early morning birding in the garden, the training comes on how to behave with and approach to gorillas. Then the hiking and gorilla tracking comes, which is almost certainly rewarded with the actual sighting them! This is the most fantastic 30-60 minutes of the entire trip but no doubt, it worth the efforts!
