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 Lewa Wildlife Conservancy by Ian Macfadyen
This place felt a little artificial. I was perturbed to discover that I had to pay conservancy fees, I'd been given the impression that in staying there rather than at a lodge in a National Park, there's be a saving in respect of park entrance fees. In the event, I don't think it worked out any cheaper. We didn't see as much game as we'd hoped for, no lions for example.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by Ian Macfadyen
Very wild. Not so easy to see the game, - far more bush than elsewhere, Masai Mara or Amboseli for example.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Ian Macfadyen
Black & White Rhino, lions if you're lucky, leopard definately, - Lesser & Greater Pink Flamingo and myriads of other birds ranging from Pelicans to Weaver Birds. Good choice of lodge accomodation. As the main route circumvents the lake, you can't really get lost.

Hot soda geysers, bubbling springs - fascinating! Thousands of noisy Lesser & Greater Flamingo.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Ian Macfadyen
We had a great trip to Samburu N.P., staying at Larson's Camp. Game viewing was excellent, as was the accomodation and scenery. ***For the present, visitors should be aware that heavy rains have recently caused devestation in the area.

Review about Nairobi National Park by Ian Macfadyen
I love Nairobi N.P. and believe it's under-rated and generally under-valued. It's a shame it isn't given a higher priority by the Kenyan authorities, it could be so much better if there was greater control over the shambas which have been allowed to proliferate at the southern end of the game corridor, by which animals enter and leave the park.

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.
