Review about Etosha National Park by John Carthy
Overall rating
4/5

Great park. The newly refurbished rooms are expensive compared to South Africa, but lovely. I'll pay anything for an outdoor shower. Wildlife is great, although a bit sparse due to the terrain in the park. I wouldn't want to spend weeks here, like I could in Kruger, but it is still well worth it's reputation.

About: Kenya
Kenya is fine for a packaged safari tour.
Overall rating
4/5

Kenya has been the classic safari destination for decades. The tourism infrastructure is well developed, so options abound. One can witness the highlights of Kenya on a budget group safari, indulge in the luxury of a private tour, or embark on a rugged exploration of remote Northern Kenya. The people are friendly, the food is tasty, and the scenery is fabulous. However, industrial tourism has taken its toll on the experience. Entrance fees (ask for an itemized list of your package tour costs) to the parks are outrageously expensive. Mini vans crowd around predator sightings, and the neglected remote parks have fallen victim to poaching.

Review about Meru National Park by ~lustedtowander~
Overall rating
4/5

Although Meru suffers from the effects of poaching, the quiet and solitude and sense of Kenyan history makes up for it. If you appreciate the story of 'Born Free' you will enjoy Meru National Park.

Review about Bwabwata National Park by ~lustedtowander~
Overall rating
4/5

Bwabwata is usually witnessed as a drive-through experience, as the road through the Zambezi Region splits it in half. But it is worth an extended layover!

Review about Zambezi Region by ~lustedtowander~
Overall rating
4/5

This area is usually witnessed as a drive-through experience, as the road through the Zambezi Region splits it in half. But it is worth an extended layover, as one can have an old fashioned river safari experience. No crowds here!

Overall rating
4/5

It is the natural history; the geology and unique desert flora that attracts one to the Richtersveld. A delight for hikers and rugged travelers!

Review about Ruaha National Park by fboekhorst
Overall rating
4/5

Less touristy compared to the Northern Parks. A bit less wildlife, but feeling-into-the-wild rating is great!! You can chase wildlife without meeting other tourists for hours!!

About: Tanzania
Classic game parks, but spoiled by too much industrial tourism.
Overall rating
4/5

The very names of the Tanzanian National Parks can fire the imagination! Serengeti... Ngorongoro.... However, while the wildlife viewing is superb, the experience is tainted by industrial tourism, poor facilities and outrageous entrance fees. Many times I have heard foreign visitors say they don't mind the high cost, as it is an investment in conservation. Unfortunately, there is little evidence of tourism dollars being directed towards conservation. That said, if one makes a little effort to avoid the crowds, the safari experience in Tanzania can be excellent.
