Krugerpark.com - Book and sit back and enjoy the experience
I used the Krugerpark.com to book my Kruger Park trip. The booking process was simple and easy to use. Esleen was an asset in answering all my questions, even the silly ones! Prompt service and made the booking experience a pleasure. My stay at Simbivati River Lodge was exceptional and will remain with me forever. Congrats to the lodge staff and the Tracker/Guides for making my trip one to remember.

Pilanesberg. A South African gem
Pilanesberg is about a two hour drive from Johannesberg with Sun City on its southern edge. The area its contained within once was a volcano eroded over many centuries to form the present landscape. We stayed at the Ivory Tree Lodge just inside the park & there are many others with a similar high standard, very good food and excelent service. Game drives are arranged early in the morning before sunrise and then again late afternoon until after dark before your brought back for dinner. We stayed for three days and were lucky enough to see the Big Five (Leopard, Lion, Elephant, Buffalo & Rhino) and many other animals. We got to see a Lion kill of a young Giraffe and the Leopard as it stalked off towards prey just before sunset. We observed Elephants playing at a watering hole and many species of birds including Fish Eagles, Kori Bustards, Yellowbilled Hornbill, Red Bishop, Southern Masked Weaver, Pied Kingfisher & Spotted Eagle Owl.
Pilanesberg is a fantastic destination and easier to see the Big Five than Kruger National Park which is also a brilliant game reserve. If your thinking of going, do it you will not be disappointed.

Review about Waterberg Plateau Park by Nicholas Olesen Photography
Waterberg Plateau Park has beautiful scenery, but wildlife is difficult to spot without staying at a private reserve. I only spent one night here and, having been to Etosha National Park, I was there for the scenery and not for the wildlife.

Review about Damaraland by Nicholas Olesen Photography
Damaraland is very interesting culturally as you can learn about the Damara people and how they lived. There are also beautiful landscapes, the Grootberg plateau being one of the highlights on my trip. There is also some wildlife, however relatively scarce due to the dry terrain.

Dusty landscape teeming with wildlife
I spent three full days in Etosha National Park in September 2015. I spent the first night in the campsite at the Okaukuejo waterhole, and the following two nights at a hotel just outside of the park, near the southern Anderson Gate. I would highly recommend the campsite over a hotel, as you don't need to spend time driving to/from the gate at sunrise and sunset, and the floodlit waterhole offers the opportunity to watch the animals at night. The weather in September was perfect - clear skies and quite warm, but not too hot.
I spent several hours each morning and afternoon driving through the park, with a 4x4 rented in Windhoek. The roads are gravel, but are wide and most are well-maintained. I saw five rhinos, seven lions, as well as elephant, zebra, giraffe, springbok, gemsbok, kudu, hartebeest, steenbok, black-faced impala, and several species of birds. I was able to get very close to many of the animals and the size of the park, even though it's fenced, meant that there were large areas to explore and it felt like you could really see the animals in their natural habitat.

Stunning ! Take your time, do not rush from 1 to the other park
We have booked a 3 day safari with Steve & Richard via internet. Since Steve is running coast and Richhard is running Nairobi, we met Steve only. He was at Moi international airport already waiting for us when we arrived. He brought us to our hotel where we immediatly paid 25% upfront for a safari a week later. People at the hotel said we would never see him back so we worried a little about that. But Steve called us to acknowledge he booked the Lodges for our safari and we got exited. On the day we departed, Steve was there before the hour we had agreed, with the driver. If you know Kenya, you know being earlier than late is very special. Good points here for S&R. After we paid the rest of the safari, Steve left the private van we had and the driver gave us a fantastic safari. Stopped where we wanted, how long we wanted, answered all our questions, gave us extra info on animals. Exeeded our expactations really. EG we wanted to leave the lodge before breakfast, than return just in time before breakfast and leave again for a game drive. This was not a problem. We saw may many animals in Tsavo and were so happy with this safari. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a super safari. We did stick to Tsao East only. So to look in every corner at a calm pace. Photo's : http://wp.me/P18EuK-1gh

Very happy birding
This was my second time in Arabuko Sokoke forest. I especially went there for the owl's.
My guide was very good, knew all the birds, made sounds to lure them and overall it was one of my better birdwalks in Kenya. ( a lot)
I did book a room in Mida Eco Camp to be in Arabuko as soon as it opened in the next morning.
The owl's made my day !

Review about Tarangire National Park by Selestinus Emanuel
Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in Northern Tanzania. It is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travellers to the region either miss out Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours - leaving swathes of Tarangire virtually untouched!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Selestinus Emanuel
Renowned for its incredible concentrations of predators and the Great Serengeti Migration of two million wildebeest, the Serengeti guarantees an exceptional safari. The endless grassy plains (Serengeti in Maasai) are the richest grazing grounds on the continent, and therefore home to the largest herds and the highest concentrations of predators on the planet.
