Selous Game Reserve is a marvelous place to visit without masstourism hassle.
I visited Selous Game Reserve at the end of September 2011. Selous is a wonderful safari place where you can almost on your own move around and see lots of wild animals. In our safaris we saw only few other vehicles in the area. Selous Wildlife Lodge is excellent place to stay. Service is luxury, food, "tents" and people. Location is a minor problem, you have to drive quite far to see the "big ones". We managed to see lots of lions, elephants, impalas, giraffes, hippos and crocodiles. I recommend Selous to all safarilovers. And if you are in a honeymoon... go to Selous Wildlife Lodge, they sure know how to make your honeymoon unforgettable.
Review about Tanzania by Juha Blomberg
Wildlife, the big animals, are almost easy to see. It's not 100% guaranteed, but I think it shouldn't be that way. Tansania is a peaceful country. You don't have to be afraid all the time.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Marion
Always Enjoy Mikumi, it's a great way to start the safari tours, depends on which time of year you go as to how many animals seen. We always go September/Oct., they seem the best times as the water holes are visited more.
Great camping experience
The wildlife in the park self wasn't that great, but it was almost the end of our holiday en maybe we had seen enough. But the campside was great! No amazing. Great view of a little lake with al kinds of animals like rhino's! And Ostrichs walking around the campsite, real fun.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Lauren
I thought Pilanesberg was gorgeous, but we saw less animals and the animals we did see were not as close.

Two days in Mudumu NP
Mudumu is quite wild and has a lot of great animals that you can aproach quit near. It has only few campsites and normally you feel quite alone. The baboons are impertinent in some places and you have got to look at your things and let nothing lie around.
When we were there waterlevel was quite hight and some drives would not be possible to pass.
On the way to Mudumu we saw a lot of vultures around dead animals. Also the other birds are easy to see and even to fotograph, as there are a lot of different species especially bee-eaters, jacanas, open-billed storks, pigeons, etc.
We also saw many elephants and hippos and a few antelopes.
The rangers were quite friendly and uncomplicated.
A good park for people who want the direct touch with nature and not too much civilisation and luxury.

Review about Namibia by Pierre
The country is often fenced and you cannot drive offroad as you like. A very nice and unique country but very civilised. Adventure is easy to plan.
