Review about Chobe National Park by skogstad
In July holy cow were there lots of baby animals! Every animal we saw had a baby representative present. Amazingly beautiful with the water and up-close views with so many animals.

Amazing, exhilarating and beautiful !
I stayed at Arathusia--our first outing we saw all the big 5 and lots more. We went out in the early morning and late afternoon on game drives. Just roaming around was fun but when we came in contact with wild game it was spectacular. I was able to take close up shots of Lions, Water Buffalo, Giraffe, Leopards, Cheetah, Hyena, Hippo, Rhino, Nyala and plenty of Elephants. We went to a waterhole where the whole family of Elephants were frolicking and the babies were so cute splashing about while the elders kept a watchful eye.

Review about Chobe National Park by JaimitoFrog
Large concentration of animals, especially elephants. Chobe river is full of wildlife, and on the boats you can get closer or better views of animals than the jeeps (cars have to stay on the road in public game reserves).

Review about South Africa by Dave
Wow. South Africa exceeded all of my expectations. The people were amazing and being on safari and seeing these amazing animals in the wild exceeded my already high expectations. Incredible place. I'd go back in a second.

Away from the crowds
We took a private game drive in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and it was a highlight of our trip. The off-road access of a ranger-led game drive was exhilarating and we had an incredibly intimate experience sitting in an open land rover just a few feet from a pride of lions as they awakened from their afternoon nap. Being so close to these beautiful animals was a one of the best experiences of my life. We also had great, close-up encounters with elephants and water buffalo. Being in the open air with knowledgeable rangers made the experience that much better.

Review about Kruger National Park by Dave
Despite the crowds in certain areas (particularly around the larger rest stops like Skukuza) and the limitation to the roads, Kruger offers an amazing array of animals and great access to them. Talk to other travelers about locations for animal watching. Drive yourself through part of the park - there's a unique value to spotting that lion yourself.

Wild Wild Africa
So much of Tanzania feels untouched. The southern regions that I travelled in were wildest, purest Africa. Jungle,beaches, mountains, wildlife - Tanzania has it all. Hiking to the waterfalls of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, negotiating the chaos of Dar's traffic, snorkelling the reefs off the coast and game driving in the many wildlife destinations and sharing a Ndhovu Lager with Tanzanian friends in a bar to round it all off. Karibu sana, rafiki.
