Good, not great
We visited Madikwe in August 2023, with probably too high expectations given the length of our stay (5 nights) at Rhulani (very good lodge with great staff) and the reputation of the reserve.
We ended up quite disappointed on the predator side, since both leopard and cheetah eluded us and we did not even see spotted hyenas.
We were also expecting good wild dog sightings, but we just caught little more than a glimpse of a running pack after sunset.
However, we had various good lion sightings and we did manage to see a brown hyena.
Regarding other game, plenty of elephants, zebra, wildebeest, steenbok and impala. Very good white rhino sightings, briefly saw a black rhino in the dense bush. Some giraffes and a klipspringer.
No trace whatsoever of rarer antelopes like eland, gemsbok, tsessebe or red hartebeest.
Overall, a good reserve but we felt the variety of game was far from impressive compared to Kruger or Okavango.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Lyndsey Deane
We spent our first day here and it was an incredible start, I had worried I'd be impatient to get to Serengeti but I am so pleased we did this first. We had amazing sightings of so many animals, including tree-climbing lions, it really set the scene for our trip and was the best way to start big with lots of viewings to really get the excitement going. Highly recommend a day here.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Lyndsey Deane
Wow! I must have said that a million times in 4 days! I honestly couldn't have dreamed that this experience would be as incredible as it was, its been a month and I'm getting emotional writing about it! We expected a lot of driving and occasional, if we were lucky, sightings but our expectations were exceeded in every way. We saw so much more than we expected, on so many more occasions and, on occasion, at such a distance that we were awestruck. There is a lot of driving and bumping around but the constant anticipation of what you are surrounded by makes it so exciting. We were particularly impressed and how well-managed tourism is, with strict rules to protect the animals and very respectful drivers and guides.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Lyndsey Deane
This feels like the setting of a Disney movie, lush green views, incredible example of nature and evolution. There is an abundance of wildlife here and we had some amazing lion sightings - a whole pride from a distance.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Lyndsey Deane
A small park and so condensed wildlife, we had amazing up-close baboon and elephant encounters here. A day is enough to see the best of what it has to offer.

Exciting MasaiMara & Agriculture is the blessed beauty of Kenya
National parks & conservancies are well maintained, wide range of animal sightings. The local culture, tribes all dedicated to preserve the wildlife & nature. Agricultural land and wildlife conservation are the most valuable & blessed resources of kenya. It’s my 2nd visit and I wish to visit again this year itself, such an amazing experience.
