A truly unforgettable experience
I never imagined it was possible to get so close to wild animals! Elephants were crossing the road right in front of our vehicle, a leopard was enjoying a meal of an impala under an acacia tree, a cheetah was taking a siesta in the bush right by the side of the road and a lioness was taking her three young cubs for an afternoon stroll. There were reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, gerenuk, dik dik, oryx, and lots and lots of birds! Our guide knew all about these animals, and also knew just where to find them. We stayed at the Samburu Game Lodge, which was very charming, if a bit run down. The food was mediocre, but there were several vegetarian selections, so no one went hungry. Samburu is hot, so bring light clothing, sunscreen and bug spray, and prepare to be amazed!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by JerseyMolly
As our driver said: this is the real safari! We were there for the migration, so there were zebra and wildebeest as far as the eye could see. Tough to get to, but well worth the trip.

Review about Bwabwata National Park by Emiel de Lange
Small, littered with the remains of military installations, but seek out the rivers; lush, full of wildlife and unparalleled birding.

Review about Nkasa Rupara National Park by Emiel de Lange
Truly excellent. Unparalleled remoteness and adventure. Plenty of wildlife and spectacular floodplains. Often unreachable and easy to get stuck!

Review about Zambezi Region by Emiel de Lange
A rough imperfect area, densely populated. The parks are still recovering but there is plenty of wildlife already. The rivers and wetlands are beautiful and full of birds. The people are fascinating and friendly. Feels truly wild and a perfect place to get into the bush.

Review about Mudumu National Park by Emiel de Lange
Wildlife is still recovering but you can see some rare species like Sable and Roan. It is largely dry and rather boring away from the river but truly vast and wild.

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Emiel de Lange
Incredibly unique ecosystem full of endemic lizards etc... Spectacular mountains for walking and beautiful sand dunes. Home to two unparalleled spectacles: the sossusvlei and the deadvlei valleys.

Review about Etosha National Park by Emiel de Lange
Vast numbers of wildlife and exciting spectacles with a spectacular backdrop. A little crowded and doesnt quite allow you to get 'into the wild'.

Review about Skeleton Coast National Park by Emiel de Lange
Strange and remote area, truly wild. Not much to see however unless you fly into the expensive wilderness camp.
