Nakuru - Pretty. Pink. Perfect.
Lake Nakuru National Park is one of my favourite parks in Kenya. It offers so much variation on so little space.
One of the remarkable things with this park is the flamingos. The shore of the lake is often completly pink with tens of thounsands flamingos. When you get up in the highlands and look down on the shore, you see how numerous they are. Incredible!
I also like the variations in the landscapes of the park. From deep forest to the big lake, and also savannah.
Perfect park. HIGHLY reccomended

Ngorongoro Crater today makes you contemplate what all of Africa was like 100 years ago.
The wildlife viewing opportunities in the Crater were simply amazing. It was the only park where we viewed Black Rhino's as well as old, bull elephants with 100-lb tusks. We also saw many lions, groups of Cape Buffalo, Spotted Hyenas, and a multitude of antelopes and wildebeest, both in terms of numbers and species. We saw hippos up close in the ponds, many wart hogs, Grant's and Thompson's gazelles, and Masai calmly tending cattle and goats within a stone's throw of lions and other wildlife. The Crater is beautiful in and of itself - the rim surrounding the crater is fabulous! Perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of the Crater is the wonderful birding there. We viewed species of birds in the Crater that we did not see elsewhere, and many were so close that a big, wallet-killing, shoulder-crunching telephoto lens was unnecessary. Raptors were common, and close! What a wonderful place!

Review about Arusha National Park by Regina from Vancouver BC
Arusha National Park should be done at the beginning of the trip. After the overwhelming wildlife in the other parks, Arusha National Park seemed to be a little less exciting.

An extraordinary and unforgettable experience!
When I think back to our safari through the Serengeti National Park it still amazes me how it made such an incredible impact on my life.
I never expected to see so much of wildlife, I had hoped for some elephants and lions as a highlight of our trip but to have an elephant right next to my open car window, looking into my eyes or to sit and watch 14 lion cubs playing with their mothers or to listen to the thunder of hundreds (thousands?) of wildebeest racing through a ravine, it just blew my mind and at the same time made me think about the future of these parks that have been saved so far from thoughtless destruction.
I hope that we can really do enough as humans to make sure that this beautiful nature will always be protected and be there for us and our children.
This desire was born in the parks of Tanzania and that is why I hope that more people will go to experience similar moments of awe and gratitude.
I also loved the African trees and the typical red soil in some places.The lodges were another surprise. I am still asking myself, how they can function so well in the middle of nowhere!
At the end I realized that our experience had been very well organized and prepared by the tour guides and their company. The trucks were comfortable and very safe and there was not a moment in our 12 days in Tanzania, that I did not enjoy. I will go back again, there is no doubt in my mind.

Review about Tanzania by geospace
Vast and well maintained game parks with knowledgeable drivers. The infrastructure is good and yet you get a true wilderness experience.

For birding it is best to go to KZN, around St Lucia.

Review about Tanzania by Regina from Vancouver BC
Even though I did not really expect anything in particular, because this was my first trip to Tanzania, I had the feeling, that our safari tour was organized in a way that was just perfect for a 12 days experience. It offered more then I had hoped for and I also felt absolutely safe in regards to the trucks, the excellent driver, the food and accomodation. People were so friendly wherever we stopped and I was also relieved that we did not need any vaccinations for Tanzania.

We wanted a private experience that was also affordable and Stainbok provided both.
The staff were well informed and trustworthy. We always felt safe and were thrilled to see so much game. We feel that the tour gave everything promised and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.
