Wonderful secluded destination by lake Kariba
Matusadona is a national park usually accessed by boat or plane. As such, it is a secluded destination where you will enjoy the bush away from any crowd. Its location along lake Kariba makes it a very scenic place, its sunsets over the drowned trees silhouettes are truly unique. The lake also allows you to see the wildlife from another point of view by boat, not only from a safari vehicle. Whether you like to watch animals, enjoy fishing of photograhpy, it's all there at the same place to satisfy everyone in the family. The Sanyati gorge which borders the park is also well worth a visit by boat.

Review about Kruger National Park by Glenda Hall
Our driver clearly loved his job, and was very passionate about all the animals, he was keen to let us see as many different species as possible and knew so much about their habitats. We got to see many of the animals very closely especially one lioness that crossed right in front of our landrover... emergency stop! what an experience!
Such a wonderful variety of birds as well. As a keen birder, I was in my element in Kruger and South Africa in general :)

Unbelievable, breathtaking and experience of a lifetime
We spent an afternoon at iMfolozi and it was so amazing... For September it was quite warm, but breezy in the landrovers. Our driver was excellent and stopped on call as soon as someone spotted movement and always gave us plenty of time to get photographs. I never imagined I'd be so so close up to a cape buffalo or so many white rhinos. The elephant crossing was superb. Lots of giraffes up close and also baboons. We saw zebras in the distance. Our driver got a radio call about lions, so he took us directly to the site. No male lions, but the females were there, also got to see the rare Nyala, male, female and a calf. A fantastic experience. There were plenty of birds to see as well, Marshall Eagles, Bateluers and Ibis. All in all, a highly recommended visit, and I saw more wildlife there than I did at Kruger the day before.
Review about Sabi Sabi Game Reserve by Andy
We have stayed at Arathusa and Mala Mala game reserves in the past both excellent for a luxury Safari. Sabi Sabi is the best place to have a chance of seeing Leopards.
Magnificent stay as always.
Have been to Kruger many times over the last 30 years and it never disappoints. It's very easy to self drive but make sure you get off the tar onto the dirt roads. This time we were fortunate to see a cheetah with her 2 young Cubs who were playing around a tree all to ourselves.
Accommodation we stayed at Satara camp which is a good area to look for predators. The camp has recently had a facelift and though accommodation is simple it's comfortable. The restaurant has improved tremendously with the introduction of 'Mugg & Bean' in several camps. They have a very good selection of food and reasonably priced.
Suggest you visit outside school holidays as it then becomes too busy. It's a huge park so make sure you spend several days. We can also highly recommend the tented accommodation.
Review about Mala Mala Game Reserve by Sue
I liked Mala Mala a little bit better because it was easier to find and see more animals in a game ride.
A wonderful safari adventure was experienced and many cherished memories were made.
The Timbavati Nature Reserve safari was truly a magnificent adventure enjoyed very much by my daughter and myself. From the moment of our arrival at the airport, we were greeted and taken very good care by all whom we met. The Ngala Safari Lodge, which is part of &Beyond resorts, was most impressive! The individual thatched cottages were quite charming and we were beyond satisfied with every meal. With our remarkable ranger and tracker, we did see all the big five animals and so much more. Having the open jeep made the animal viewing much easier for all of us to see the animals. The highlight of the game rides was the breakfast in the bush! The staff managed to surprise us as we were out on a morning game ride when suddenly we came across a gorgeously laid out breakfast with table and chairs for all of us. Having been on several safari, I would definitely recommend the Timbavati Natual Reserve for a safari.

Review about Tanzania by Sebastian
In Tanzania we found every animal we're expecting to see. The parks scenary are really diferent from one to the other, so we got really diferent experiences in each park we went to, despite we're looking for the same thing in all of them..., lions, cheetas, leopards, elephants, rinohs..., and their food, all managing to get along living together.
