Awesome landscapes
First I don't remember very well because I did 3 months in botswana, south africa and I saw a lot of things. For Mapungubwe it was the first time I see a scene so beautiful. The point of view of the river, Zimbabwe is very impressive with great views (great for those who want to take photo).
A lot of animals to see, landscapes incredible. It was the first time I've seen the black eagles, bee-eater, wilderbeest, elephants too.
For the weather sunny without any clouds, if you're not used to hot weather it can be hard ;)

Vast, better for less known animals as well as the main ones.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Huge, enormous park (2/3th of Belgium !), so it has everything - but know where to go, or you might drive for hours without seeing a lot.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by CedricVandermeulen
Difficult to get to, off the beaten track, however, with animals that are difficult to see in other parks, such as the Oryx and the Gerenuk. Avoid in the dry season as animals tend to migrate south to areas with a bit more water.

Review about Chyulu Hills National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Not much animals here (due to the fact that the Chyulu hills were only "created" about 500 years ago during the latest volcanic eruptions there is no water - rivers have yet to form), however, this is the park with the best scenery of the whole of Kenya.

Review about Meru National Park by CedricVandermeulen
Although the wildlife is more difficult to spot, it is so much more rewarding when you finally find those lions / leopards / elephants. Everything is there. The park with the most beautiful light in Kenya.
A raw jewel, from dust tracks to flush green areas! Great people.
On our first visit to Tanzania me and my wife decided to spend a week or two working in an orphange. Such a rewarding experience, the people and kids all eager to learn and friendly unlike many in the UK!
We then moved on to a tented lodge in Arusha, gave a great feel of sights and sounds of the countryside. This prepared us for our main event climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (via the Mechame route). What a fantastic trip, hard work physically and mentally with beautiful scenery looking to Meru, each days scenery changed getting less and less dense of forest. We successfully completed our trek to the summit With Forsters Safari's on Boxing Day 2009! Unbelievable...
We returned to base and went back to our tented lodge for a few days to relax, then we took a few days safari around Manyara, Ngorongoro & Tarangire. Ngorongoro is a must, what a setting full of animals, like Jurrasic Park! We stayed in the Rhotia Valley afterwards which was lush and green, people working the fields with ox and their hands. We then visited Manyara which was a different type of reserve on the lakeside then moved on for a few days at Tarangire which was different again in the bush, true dirt tracks, river crossings in the 4x4 and loads of the smaller birds and animals too.
The hustle and bustle of the towns can feel intimidating to some though we enjoyed it, visit the Masai markets for local crafts. The country is much more relaxed and everyone stops to help if you if you need it. A really nice place to visit.
