Review about Ngorongoro Crater by mrdiggler
Its very scenic and you'll see a lot of animals, even the rare Rhino. the negative part is there will be a lot of tourists around
Review about Kenya by theterrribleone
It was a great experience. Everyone spoke English, even the Massai tribesmen in their cow-dung huts. The wildlife was simply phenomenal in its variety and profusion. The great wildebeest migration started early the year we were there, and we witnessed that. There were wildebeest from horizon to horizon. Amazing!
Amboseli: An Absolutely Awesome Safari Destination
Amboseli was the first destination on our safari. What an awesome introduction to African wildlife! Even before we got there we saw groups of hippopotamus, elephants, crowned cranes, many sorts of antelope, wildebeest, and many other animals and birds. We stayed at the Oltukai Lodge, from which many elephants, in particular, were seen. On our first outing, there were lions, hyenas, flamingos and many other water birds, wildebeest and zebras, and many other antelope and birds. It was beyond our wildest dreams. We had thought maybe we might get to see an elephant, and probably some antelope. The reality was so much more stunning than our preconceptions that it was mind-blowing. We were able to see and obtain excellent photographs of the "big five". It was truly the trip of a lifetime. I am so glad we went!
One of the particularly nice things was the weather. I don't think it was above 73 degF or below 67 degF at any time during the trip. Most amazing of all was the lack of bugs. We had spent hundreds of dollars on mosquito-proof clothing, sprays, shots, etc. There wasn't a single mosquito. All in all, it was a majestically fine trip. I recommend it highly.
Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by theterrribleone
The Masai Mara was where we witnessed the great wildebeest migration, complete with crocodiles, lions, and vultures. As the trip progressed, our accommodations got progressively more "bush", with the last being tents with no fences, no electricity, and Massai guards. An amazing, awesome experience.
Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by theterrribleone
There must have been a million flamingos. If I had not seen it myself, I would have never believed the "pink lake" was pink because it was covered with flamingos.
Review about Namibia by petlob
We have visited many African countries but Namibia is the most elemental - the deserts and dunes are just stunning.

Review about Uganda by nickvp
Uganda is not an obvious Safari destination. It's variety in scenery, people and wildlife makes it an truely recommended and unique travel, especially for someone who has already seen the big game Safari in Kenya or Tanzania. In Uganda you can see tree hanging lions in the morning and Mountain Gorillas in the afternoon, there is no other country in the world that has that. We went with drifters, a tour operator that uses very comfortable trucks (instead of jeeps) for groups up till 16 people. In my opinion, the trip was such a great experience because we camped almost every night and we had the most fantastic guide Anthony Washford to drive the truck, cook the food and plan all the excursions such as the astonishing Gorillas at Bwindi.
Etosha is a beautiful wild space where you can quickly get really close to nature.
Everyone in our group loved Etosha. The scenery is stunning particularly out round the pan and the facilities were excellent to return home to. Even though it was the wet season we saw lots of game and the highlight was seeing - and videoing - a cheetah kill on the edge of the pan, where a mother winged a springbok so that her cub could make his kill.

Review about Zambia by Luke Steyn
Zambia ia mostly untouched by the tourist footprint, and is therefore one of the few places regarded as genuine, true Africa.
