Can't Wait to Go Again!
Our honeymoon safari with a Zanzibar detox afterwards was amazing thanks to Alym and East Africa Adventures! Alym was wonderful and helped us book our safari quickly - and we had even asked kind of last minute but it was no issue. We worked off an itinerary they already had with a bit of customization that Alym suggested which was absolutely wonderful. We're so glad we switched out a lodge to do tented camping for a couple of days.
Our tour guide, Kim, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient - which pays off on safari! He knew every kind of animal and had an eagle eye for spotting animals. We went during dry season, and cannot wait to go back to see what it's like during wet season.
Zanzibar was great too. It was a different feel than our safari part of our trip, but enjoyed it as well and it was nice to relax after long days on safari. I'm glad we booked through East Africa Wild!

You will love it - see lots without huge crowds.
It has almost all major animals except rhino. Not overwhelmed with tourist vehicles - a bit more private experience. Our guide was super - including positioning the vehicle for best photo angles. Have been to parks in 4 countries and this is my favorite for the overall experience.
Review about Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park by engeltoy
This park is the best park for seeing and spending time with the large cats of Africa. The entry is limited so is tends to be quieter. Seeing the animals surviving in the dessert environment is humbling.
Review about Augrabies Falls National Park by engeltoy
This park has a beauty of its own with the rocky outcrops that look so prehistoric.
Review about |Ai-|Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park by engeltoy
Again the very natural beauty abounds. Man has not destroyed what nature has created.

October in the Kruger is a magical time as many of the antelope are foaling, so there is lots of new life abounding. The first of the seasonal rains have fallen so the park is turning green but the bush is not too dense yet, so making game viewing still easy. ( the thicker the bush the more difficult it is to spot the game.
The magic of Kruger is the natural beauty, there small dirt tracks that take you into the quieter areas, where you can just switch off your vehicle and sit and listen to the sounds of silence. Animals roam freely so you may encounter any species at any time. Early mornings and later afternoons are the best times to get out there to see the animals. So make sure you are up at the crack of dawn and out till last light. Relax in the Chalet during the heat of the day. Sanparks provides comfortable accommodation without damaging the feel and look of nature. The most important thing is to slow down and move with the beat of the bush.

Review about Lake Mburo National Park by Erika
Lake Mburo wasn't as beautiful as other parts of Uganda but we had just come from "the Lakes" area of the country so we had a rather skewed view. Lake Mburo has a lot of zebras and antelope, which were fun to see. It's a good stopover between Bwindi and Kampala, but probably not someplace I would go out of my way to see.
