Review about Damaraland by gsskimsing
Damaraland is interesting for its strange landscape, with conical hills scattered over the countryside. I'm told that Namibia is the part of Africa that was once connected to South America before the continent split off, so this geological event can be seen in the landscape. In terms of wildlife, other than the seals on Cape Cross, the wildlife here is mainly in the form of reptiles such as desert chameleons, lizards, snakes or spiders. What mammals there are in the desert are small, like mice.

Pilanesberg - Nice for a quite trip from Johannesburg
Pilanesberg is a nice reserve but not spectacular. We saw 4 of the big 5 but sitings were sparce. Good guides are key as we probably would have missed a great number of animals without them.

Review about South Africa by Machiel
South Africa is good for wildlife but in Africa their are more places which are even better. South afric ais a big country with also a lot of culture and wildlife is only a part of it.

Review about Botswana by BaFritz
I would visit South Luangwa Park in Zambia before returning back to Chobe because it is so much more rural and bush, but Chobe was beautiful

it's name is elephant park but actually it is a wild park
After having visited the kruger national park and the St Lucia wetlands we visited the Addo elephant park. I expected many elephants here and that proved to be true. We sqaw many of them and we enjoyed to see them from a short distance and we could study their behaviour. What we did not expect were the other animals we saw here. we saw koedoes, zebra's, wild pigs, water birds and a buffalo.

A land of rich grassland, varied wildlife and clear water but dusty houses.
I spent 5 days staying in the Okavango swamps and two days in Chobe. The Okavango swamps are more about relaxation, birds and river animals such as hippos and crocodiles. What land animals are about are hidden by the thick hedge of reeds that line the Okavango delta. We were entertained by a day's excursion into the swamps by being punted around in the local mekoros (dugout) and then led through the bush by a knowledgeable guide who taught us about the health or nutritional properties of the vegetation as well as visiting the giant Baobab tree. Afterwards we took a long refreshing dip in the clear waters of the Kavango.
From the lush vegetation of the Okavango, we drove south east into drier scrubland and were disappointed at seeing our next campsite in Chobe, a barren dustbowl with the basic of amenities. But we were rewarded later that day by a spectacular safari on riverboats as we got really close up to wildebeest, large herds of elephants, cape buffalo and a myriad of birds, all while sipping gin and tonics.
We saw a huge variety of wildlife while camping in well kept campgrounds.
