Review about Ngorongoro Crater by GJP
Interesting geology, great drive into the crater and wonderful views from the top. We didn't see as many animals as the Serengeti (it was July) but we did see many varieties (missed the Rhino) including a kill.

Review about Tanzania by lynetter
Flights are easy and it's relatively safe. You can easily spend a night in Dar Es Salaam on arrival before flying out to the safari camp, and there are also lovely beaches too for the tail-end of your holiday (you don't need to go to Zanzibar). Mostly though I rate it because Selous was such a superb park

Lake Turkana tribes
Lake Turkana is not a conventional 'safari' destination. It is a place where you visit the tribes that live there and not so much look for wildlife. If you want to see wildlife, you better visit the parks in the south of Kenya. Although if you want to visit both the east and west side of Lake Turkana, you could drive from Loiyangalani on the east side, through to South Horr and Maralal to Lake Baringo. You will have great views of the Lake Turkana when leaving Loiyangalani. Lake Baringo is a great place for bird watching and there is a good lodge in the park. As mentioned before, Lake Turkana is a place to visit the tribes that live there. The Turkana, the Pokot and the Rendille tribes. The terrain they live in is pretty rough, so you will need a 4x4 to travel around. You will need to go off the beaten track to find some villages that are still living in an original way. Also if you go camping, bring all your supplies with you, there is not much available in the villages. If you stay in the lodge in Loiyangalani, the food is good and the beer is cold. The owner is a German that married a Turkana woman lives there already for decades. It is a good place to relax in the middle of your trip. The Turkana and Rendille that live here are already changed a lot to 'modern' live. The more original Turkana live on the west side of the lake. You will need to go to the area between Lokichar and Lodwar to find them. The winter months are the best time to go to the Lake Turkana area, as it will be very hot in the summer time.
