Back for a Second Visit
We found Shaba and its sister reserves in the area much drier parks than the others we have visited further south, though no less plentiful places for animals. On both occasions in 2007 and again this year we stayed at the Sarova Shaba Lodge. This was well worth the tourist dollars though there are several lodges of equal calibre throughout the general area in and out of the three parks we visited in that region.

Review about Kakamega Forest National Reserve by Wanderlust
Nice park with loads of monkeys. It is a very unique setting in rain forest which Kenya has little of.

Off the beaten path destination with genuine Masai people and unique and beautiful landscape
Hells Gate National Park in Kenya's Great Rift Valley is a small off the beaten path park worth visiting if you have a couple of days. Although the wildlife is not as prolific as some of the other parks in Kenya it is a fascinating geological park with hot springs, ancient, volcanos, lava plugs, and gorges. There are plenty of nice walking trails around the park and picnic sites. We also visited a Masaai village and learned how the local Masai people live and how to make a fire.

Review about |Ai-|Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park by architectkzn
Fanatsic part of South Africa for the natural and scenic beauty abounds. The biome and the unique flora of this region sets it apart from the other regions in South Africa. Dry arid region and the wildlife and the plants have had to cope with the limited rainfall, and have adapted to the unique conditions.

Review about Tembe Elephant Park by architectkzn
The biggest and most spectacular "tuskers" I have photographed in Southern Africa come from this park. It is a bit off the beaten track and on a gravel path to get there but once there you do definetly get the bush vibe.

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by architectkzn
This is the primier game park in KZN, and is world renowed for the white and black rhinos, and I have regularly spotted, lions, elephants, and other game in the park.
The bush vibe can be lost during the peak holiday seasons, dec- jan school holidays in South Africa, with lots of tourist busses and day- trippers zooming aournd the park. Off season it is a peacefull and wonderfull place to take a weekend break.
