Review about Damaraland by reggief340
I spent five days in Damarland and was able to see much wildlife including the desert elephants and a pride of lions. The scenery was gorgeous and the camp I stayed in was excellent

Travelling alone I experienced the most wonderful experience on the senses in this Park.
For the past ten years I have travelled alone to some outstanding destinations and most where you would question if that was the right decision. Namibia opened up a huge new world that I had never experienced before. From the tarmac roads to dusty gravel roads that disappeared into the horizon; the route down to Namib Naukluft National Park was just a taster of the most wonderful sights.
I arose early before dawn and with haste headed of into the park to ensure that I was there to experience the sunrise. The sun rose to as a bright electric orange orb cresting over the dunes. Their dark shadows cast across the floor of the park whilst ostrich stirred shaking the sand from their wings and heading off to find more shade. The tourist balloons were up and in the stillness you could hear their chatter and the whoosh as the hot air filled the balloon and took them higher.
I drove further on and left the car in the designated area to be transported by 4 wheeled vehicles deeper to the bigger dunes and Sossusvlei.
Climbing along the ridge to the summit I was surprised how quiet and how few tourists were here but in the distance you could see more arriving. The sun by 10:00 was already high and burning the sand beneath my feet. To the left the parched trees and bushes were shade for more ostrich. To the right was the dried out water source, crusty and dusty underfoot with just a few soft patches where the sun didn't quite reach.
When I look back at my trip to Namibia this sticks very clearly in my mind. This truely is one of the wonders of Africa

Review about Namibia by reggief340
From the Etosha in the north to the dunes in the south and from the Kalahari in the east to the skeleton coast in the west I found this to be an amazing country with great friendly people and so many experiences
Glorious, wild experience - very much on our own!
We spent a couple of nights in lovely accomodations. We went on an early morning bush-walk, accompanied by a ranger - heard more than we saw (the animals seems to be more aware of humans away frojm the car than when were were in it!), although we HEARD A LOT - very exciting, and we did get a great view of some White Rhino's from a safe (above) viewing point. We had been advised that a park employee had been thrown from a horse and unfortunately killed (by a lion), so we were pleased to have a guide.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Ian Macfadyen
Fabulous scenery - Kilimanjo! Lots of elephants, all the plains game and everything else one would expect to see with the exception of cheetah & rhino, and lions are few & far between.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Ian Macfadyen
The real African safari experience - rough journey, wonderful accomodation on arrival, all the Big Game, fabulous scenery, - day-to-day life & death to be seen on every game-drive. (I don't know what Tanzania could offer that the Masai Mara doesn't). If driving yourself, beware you are not permitted to go off track. The game-rangers are really strict.
Review about South Africa by Frank_Richards
We spent a month in Kwazululand - camped at False Bay for a few days - found the birds and general wildlife (not so much the big game animals) something that I hadnt expected. Marvelous varieties and quantities of species or birds, lizards, plants (only dead snakes thanks!)

Review about Kruger National Park by mbd
I will just explain why I only gave a "good" to bush vibe: too many people in the park who behave like idiots: fast driving, loud music, no respect for animals. It is still a great place and we particularly enjoyed a night at Sable hide which I would recommend to anyone who wants to know what bush experience means.
