Review about Katavi National Park by nilsrinaldi
Also a remote park, Katavi was fantastic, with its small river along which wildlife was concentrating. Well-known for its hippos and crocs.
Review about Ruaha National Park by nilsrinaldi
Closer to Dar, this is a better-known park, with also plenty of wildlife. Big cats often spotted.

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by ~lustedtowander~
Wildlife is difficult to spot, due to the dense vegetation. But low visitor numbers and lovely landscapes make it a very pleasant experience
Review about Kakamega Forest National Reserve by John Carthy
Ronda's Retreat is the best place to stay in Kenya, particularly if they let you pay Kenyan rates. Blue monkeys and loads of birds on the grounds. Quite hard to see other wildlife in the park as it is a forest. Hire a guide.
Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by John Carthy
The Kruger of Kenya. Very expensive, almost like a theme park with the amount of people and the swanky facilities. But the wildlife is great - really easy to see most animals and the birds are great because of the lake. Lots of flamingos. All the big animals here - hyena, rhino etc. Brilliant park, especially if you are on a first time safari. Easy to reach from Nairobi aswell.
Review about Tsavo East National Park by John Carthy
Dry park - not the most amazing scenery but has unusual things like gerenuk and vulturine guinefowl (we didn't find any of the latter, despite looking hard). Makes a good alternative route from the coast back to Nairobi or vice versa rather than using the main road. You can spend two days in the park and only have to pay for one expensive lodge. Fairly easy on a self-drive, unlike some other Kenyan parks.

Review about Mokolodi Nature Reserve by lml
My first safari in Africa- we did not see that much, but it was a very neat experience and I did get some glimpses of warthogs and ostriches, although no big game. We ate dinner at a restaurant there, which was beautiful at night.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Johan Gardelius
Ngorongoro is speactacular as a formation, but the wildlife we encountered was not that great. But the poverall impression, coming down into the caldera, was magnificent!
