Review about Arusha National Park by Justin
It's a solid park and easy to fit in with any travel plans that pass through Arusha. There are definitely better parks in Tanzania.

Monkeying about in Arusha National Park
Arusha National Park is a small park close to the town of Arusha and Kilimanjaro Airport. While it boasts a rich variety of wildlife, you shouldn't expect the same game-viewing experience you will find in other national parks of Tanzania's northern circuit. It does have numerous black-and-white colobus monkey which are easily visible and are not found in the other parks. Common animals include giraffe, buffalo, zebra, bushbuck and warthog. In the northeast, the shallow alkaline Momella Lakes provide habitat for numerous species of water birds including Lesser and Greater Flamingo. Forest birds require work to see but experienced birders may be rewarded for their efforts. This park can be by-passed if on a tight schedule and or budget. I rate thes park Poor for wildlife photography.

Review about Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve by Shannon
Semliki is great for birding but lacks an abundance of other wildlife. We saw lots of birds, antelope, warthogs, monkeys and buffalo but not much else. There are a few elephants and chimpanzee but they are not always easy to find. The foothills of the Rwenzoris above the savanna was pretty gorgeous.

Elephants paradise
It was the first of 8 parks we visited in Africa, and also the first Safari we've done. We didn't know what to expect, but we knew that we weren't going to find any lions or rinohs. As we were newbies we found really exciting meeting a lot of monkeys from a really short range, then we came across diferent groups of hervibors such as Impalas, Topis and some other horned ones. But the best thing of this park are by far the Elephants. We got to see a lot of diferent groups, playing in the small rivers, walking from the water to the shadows of the baobabs, they don't seem to care about the few vehicles in the roads, they were walking just beside us, it was really beatifull.
Ah, watch out with the tsetse fly, they bite quite hard.

Review about Selous Game Reserve by Mieke Verschueren, Belgium
Because we were before in Serengenti, we had seen there everything, so Selous was for us rather poor
Review about Tarangire National Park by Vivek
Not too bad. But average when compared with Serengeti and Ngorungoru.
Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Vivek
Thick vegetation makes it hard to see wildlife well. Only a few areas where lots of wild life can be seen.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by darian
We only had a relatively short time in the Park but certainly enjoyed both the scenery and all the elephants.
