Review about Tarangire National Park by Emma
This was our first park and we were surprised how much wildlife we saw. The highlight (although grim) was seeing a zebra that had been killed by a lion and then left ready t eat later. Later we saw a female lion (possibly after the zebra had been eaten) asleep in a tree. This was then followed by many different pieces of vultures eating the remains.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Emma
The birds were stunning here. I loved seeing the flamingos and the ostriches carry out a mating ritual. The scenery was also stunning and there was a great view point.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Emma
Lake Manyara was mainly forest. The highlights for me were seeing the behaviour of the elephants: We experienced a loan elephant being welcomed to an elephant tribe where they intwined their trunks.. I also loved seeing a group of giraffes appear along the brook/river bed.

Everything was perfect - nothing to add.

The beauty of seeing animals in the wild was amazing.
The bush drives was made special by the guides. They try hard to find the animals and get into best place for photo ops. The animals were very visible and roaming freely throughout the reserve. The evening meal in the boma with open pit bbq, was wonderful, made even more authentic with the presence of four hyenas just outside the perimeter lurking around for food scraps. South Africa is enchanting with beautiful views. The sunsets are colorful and memorable. A full moon in the African bush is beyond words. However, the best part of South Africa is the people…friendly, engaging and welcoming. This was a trip that I will always treasure.

Perfect place to safely enjoy wildlife
We had the opportunity to book a safari with Bushthorns Adventure and it was the best decision we could have made. We got a package including Lake Nakuru, Aberdare National Park and Olpejeta Natural Reserve. Guides were knowledgeable, kind and caring, always taking our security as number one priority and driving us to the best spots to see the astonishing wildlife. We got to see almost every animal we wanted! Totally recommend it.

Not my best experience but nice to see big animals in real life
Tsavo east and west + Amboseli / Lansdcapes were nice but very dry in many places so no animals as it was desertic.
Compare to my souvenir 13 years ago, (only 2 nights in Nairobi) this new experience to let my kids discover Kenya was really poor. Only possible to see one lion's family from closeby. A lot of driving with no animals in the parks.
Kenyan people see you as only m a way to make money and give you pay same price as in Europe. They really abuse on the price they want you to pay and when you see the difference in fixed price shops... When I spend a lot of money in my travel all inclusive, I don't expect to spend so much extra money when I go to Africa... 50Ksh a coffee in one place and 250Ksh at the next stop for the same instant coffee. And also, as a single woman, not feeling safe outside the hotels or without the guide in the safari.
+ The tour organizer made a big story and refused to let my 3 days safari continue because 1/3rd of the amount was still to pay after 1 day safari. Like if I will fly away for the safari... We were late starting the safari and he really made me feel like a thief, breaking my holiday feeling.
It could be a beautiful place to visit but I did not like how European are threaten. We are not all stupid tourists full of money...
