Review about Tarangire National Park by Vivek
Not too bad. But average when compared with Serengeti and Ngorungoru.
Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Vivek
Crater is absolutely breathtaking. The concentration of wildlife in it makes it magical.
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.
Vast and never ending beauty
Scenery and weather was brilliant when I was there. It was the start of the rainy season, thus the wildlife concentration was slightly less than it will be during other parts of the year. However the variety of wildlife made up for it.

live experiment
it was a live experiment to see this animals in the wild and so near bij.
het was een ervaring om deze dieren van zo dichtbij te zien, het is niet makkelijk om dit om te zetten in het engels, het maakt nog elke dag als ik er aan denk wat in mij los.
The most amazing experience of my life
Everything was perfect. The weather was wonderful, the accommodations excellent, the staff so accommodating and friendly. The tracker and driver were relaxed, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable leading us to see animals I'd never even realized were out there as well as all the big ones. The pool and spa were great, can't say enough good things about the experience

A magical place where dreams can come true
Kruger National Park is wonderful for the first time safari goers. Anybody wanting to see the wildlife up close and personal , then Kruger is the place to be.
My first ever safari was in the Kruger National Park. It pays to find a good company to book with , I did my homework and found a wonderful SA based company(Wild Wings Safaris) who went beyond my expectations. It also pays to have a good guide. I believe that I had one of the best. (Simon Vegter)
The Kruger is a place where you can enjoy the luxury of 5 star accommodation or sleep in a tent under the stars. It has everything to suit each of us. The wildlife throughout the park is amazing , the scenery is wonderful , it has a range of different accommodations and places to eat ranging from restaurants to cooking your own meals in the communial kitchens or private Braai (bbq). Most of the camps have a small grocery store and restaurant.
I have self driven in the Park on a few occasions and from what I have learn't and put into practice from my guide , I have always felt safe.
You do not need a four wheel drive to get around , a standard car would do the trick. There are petrol stations at most camps and tarred roads throughout the park.
Having visited other parks since the Kruger , the only negative I can see is , The kruger park is very commercialised now , and many tourists fight for the best spots at a sighting. If you are after seclusion and wilderness that is still very wild , then parts of the kruger would not be for you.
My highlight of my trip would be spending time with the African Wild Dogs.

A Must-See in Tanzania
Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely stunning. The physical nature of the crater itself makes you feel like you are truly entering a different ecosystem - one that belongs to the animals, not to man. We saw many types of animals, including hyenas, water buffalo, elephants, giraffes, birds, and lions! The scenery was gorgeous and the animals all seemed so majestic. I would suggest Ngorongoro Crater to anyone who is traveling in Tanzania.

Wonderful Experience
We stayed at Little Kwara for two nights after spending 3 nights at Lebala. We travelled by a Cessna 206 from the Lebala airstrip to the Kwara strip—about a 25 minute flight. Little Kwara is a newer, smaller and (I'm told) a bit more luxurious camp than Kwara, which can be seen a few hundred metres away through the trees.
The tents were more like wooden chalets on stilts with large double-bed, bathroom with bath, loo and outside shower area. There were lights, but no electricity points. Gadgets and batteries had to be charged up in an area in the central part of the camp. The bed was very comfortable. Our room had a view on the edge of a wooded area across open savannah down to water. At various times, we saw baboons, elephants and assorted antelope walking across.
The wild life at Little Kwara seemed to be more populous than Lebala. We spent less time looking *for* and more time looking *at* animals. To be fair, I thought Lebala was a pleasanter camp than Little Kwara. For bird fanciers, the boat ride in the delta is a wonderful opportunity to see hundreds in one small area. But there's always an element of luck: another group reported seeing a cheetah with a kill. Unfortunately, when we went back there was no sign of cheetah or kill. The guides thought the local lions had probably chased the cheetah off and completely consumed, including bones, the red lechwe that was killed.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Narayan
Great place - we were in Ashnil Mara Camp by the Mara river - with resident hippos and crocs. Heard a lion roaring in the middle of the night. Sighted lions, antelopes, cheetah, baboons, elephants, hippos, crocs, etc
