Unique eco-system in Botswana
We stayed at Kwando's Tau Pan lodge in the CKGR for three nights in January, 2011. The CKGR was quite different than the lush concessions up north and the differences were really interesting. The wide expanses of the pans were beautiful. It was very peaceful and quiet. We saw very few people.
We found the accommodation at Tau Pan excellent. The lodge is very new with spacious rooms. We had a large indoor and outdoor shower and an indoor and outdoor sitting room. The food was always excellent and fresh. The lodge uses new Range Rovers with roofs for transportation. Unlike the other Kwando concessions that we visited (Kwara and Lebala) there was less 'off roading' per the CKGR rules. We enjoyed seeing lots of wildlife although not in such abundance as in other parts of Botswana. The steenbocks pronking at dusk was a highlight as was hearing a lion roaring though the night. We are not 'birders' but we found the bird life in the CKGR diverse and interesting.
Our guides we excellent and we particularly enjoyed the guided walk by the bushman, Scupa. He showed us how to find tubers for water, set snares, make soap out of a plant etc.
We met another couple on the bush plan on the way out who had stayed at Kwando's other lodge, Nxai Pan and loved it.

Truly unique destination that can only be considered, 'mars-like'
Our trip originated out of swakupmond with a brief visit to Walvis Bay to enjoy the dolphin and oyster cruise (highly recommend if you like oysters and champagne.) We climbed the dunes on foot which was shortly followed by a trip on ATVs. Both exciting in their own right as I've never experienced dunes of that size and that expansive.
We headed north from swakupmond to drive up the skeleton coast on our way to Etosha. We stopped by the Cape Cross seal colony, which was amazing. Definitely make this stop.
One note, this is definitely a trip where the site really is that there isn't much to see. It's so barren a landscape that you're amazed that people live near or around this area. You feel like you're on another planet. As such, make sure you have the right car and spare tires. Set the pressure in your tires correctly. Bring water and food as well; just in case.
Our whole trip was a self-drive and organized by a 3rd party agency.

Review about South Africa by snowysus
A beautiful country with great food, wine and people!
It was one great time !
It was 13 of August of the year 2005 in Kenya and we were going south coming from Samburu NP and lake Naivasha, we ended up early on the afternoon on lake Nakuru. First thing we saw from afar was that pink colour that was spread all around in the lake. Our kind and gentyle guide said “flamingos, do you see them ?” It was one amazing sight.
We stayed in one excellent Lodge and enjoyed our tour there. On that wonderful landscape of the lake except of those amazing flamingos and some other birds, we saw rhinos, zebras, buffalos, waterbuks and baboons.
It was one great time !

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Courtney
This was our first park. It seemed a little smaller than the others we visited but, it was much more lush. We observed a variety of baboon and monkeys here that we did not see elsewhere. Convenient to lodging and was not crowded at all. Great introduction. We stayed at Kirimuru Tents which was awesome!

The stay in Samburu was very good in both lodging and animal life, I have seen animals as exciting as the leopard among others, were one of the most special days of my life, totally recommended
