Review about Tsavo West National Park by J C Mills Photography
Tsavo West is very scenic and typically dry African bush with the characteristic red Tsavo soil. However wildlife is harder to see here so anyone expecting a Maasai Mara wildlife experience will disappointed. The plus side is you can get an authentic African bush feel here.

Review about Lake Bogoria National Reserve by J C Mills Photography
Worth going for the flamingos and the setting. Avoid July -August as the only hotel here is overrun by van loads of Asian tourists giving it a package feel.

Review about Amboseli National Park by J C Mills Photography
Amboseli is all about the fantastic backdrop of Kilimanjaro and the Elephants. In high season it is very dusty. Go January to March and It will be a lot greener and full of birdlife.

Lake Nakuru - flamingo-less but still worth it
Lake Nakuru suffered flooding in 2012 which has had 2 negative effects; the flamingos have moved on to other rift valley lakes and many of the lakeside roads are now underwater. However new roads have been put in and there is now a large area of interesting flooded acacia forest teeming with birdlife. The park also has hard to see rhinos, scenic woodland, waterfalls, and cliff top vantage points over the lake. Good lodges on the hills overlooking the lake. worth visiting if combined with other national parks.
Relaxing day unwinding after climbing Kilimanjaro
We visited Arusha NP the day after climbing Kili. The journey over from Moshi, where we were based, showed us more of the region, and Arusha NP offered an un-hurried day out. Our guides took us to their favourite spots; we saw many giraffe and zebra, baboons and colobus monkeys. Best treat was seeing Flamingos in a ring 1-3 deep all around big Momela lake. The park is very scenic, especially Ngurdoto Crater, and it would be good to return to see more of it, perhaps by climbing Mt Meru. Arusha NP offers quite a contrast to the almost complete absence of wildlife on Kili!

An opportunity to submerse yourself into the iconic natural world of Africa!
The biggest highlight for me was the isolation felt within the Okavango Delta. For the entire week we were there we didn't run into any other tourists/safari companies which I have previously noticed on safari tours elsewhere. This isolation made every encounter seem incredibly more special and private and enforced the feeling that we were guests into the animals world.

Review about Kenya by J C Mills Photography
Kenya has a fantastic variety of landscapes, wildlife and birdlife. Some of the popular parks and lodges can get very busy in high season but choose the time of your visit and your accommodation wisely and you will have an unforgettable safari.

We could not imagine a better experience..
Their professionalism, their extensive knowledge of the places we visited, and their dedication with discretion throughout the journey to be informed about us, define Umang and Beena, Ubon Safari as the ideal travel agency to organize the perfect safari trip.
Safari & beach combo
The combination of 1 week safari and 1 week Zanzibar worked well for us. Visiting Selous and Ruaha was worthwhile as they have very different scenery. Zanzibar was very relaxing after the early starts in the game parks.
Love it , Safarihub knew how to make us happy !

An Awesome Experience!
From our first inquiry with Blue Crane Safari, Derek was prompt and helpful. We were booking relatively late, but Derek helped us find a safari that met our needs. We made all of our arrangements from the United States via email and everything turned out seamless. The morning of the safari we were picked up in Swakopmund by our guide Penda. We were transported to Etosha in an air conditioned van. Penda pointed out animals along the way and gave us information about what we were going to see. Once inside Etosha, Penda handled all of our check-ins and dinner reservations. Dinner was a buffet and we ate with the to the travelers in our group. Our rooms both nights at the lodges were comfortable. Penda drove us in an open air truck for our game drive on the second day. We spent the day driving around looking for animals. We saw all the animals we had hoped to see including cheetahs and lions. Penda was always willing to stop so we could take pictures and he always gave us plenty of information about the animals. Overall we had an amazing experience and we have nothing but great things to say about Blue Crane Safari. I would definitely use them again if I was in Africa and I would recommend them to my family and friends.
