Great scenery, few tourists
The landscape is really wonderful at Mountain Zebra National Park. It had the most beautiful scenery of all National Parks we have been in South Africa. Few tourists were there so it was relatively calm and a nice atmosphere. We made a game drive ourselves and saw of course Zebras, Red Hartebeests, Blue Wilderbeests, Springboks etc. The park is generally not cramped with animals but you'll get quite a few nice sightings. We also did a cheetah tour which is definitely worth the money. We drove with a guide and his assistant around in a safari vehicle until we got a good signal from the collar some cheetahs wear. Then we got out of the car and walked outside until we found it. I would have never found it without a guide. I stood quite a few meters aside from it but I did not see it until the guide exactly showed me where it is lying under the bushes. Their covering works really very good ;) The guides do also have signals of the lions that are living in the park. If their signal is too close then you can't get out of the car. They care very much for your security. Our guide was very good. Not only he showed us the cheetah he also told us a lot of interesting things about it and the other animals we saw during the driving part. All in all I can very much recommend the park with it's amazing scenery and especially the cheetah tour.

It was an enchanting experience worth going on several occassions.
The only park in a capital city Kenya, Africa.. Beautiful scenery,blossoming flowers around with humming birds. Such a great experience under the sunny weather with cool breeze.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by lindafiona92
The crater is everything. Breathtaking.
One of the last great wilderness region ..... i could go back there again and again !
I had always wanted to visit Etosha ao i finally decided to do it. It was everything i expected and will keep the memories forever. Im a keen photographer and we saw plenty of wildlife on the wide open spaces. If i could, i would go back to Namibia and Etosha year after year.

Adventure for Life time in Rwanda
I traveled with African Jungle Adventure Company during my holiday in Rwanda last month. The was professionally organized, my Guide Kamya was so amazing, very knowledgeable about the country’s history, Culture and wildlife. Gorilla tracking was the highlight of my safari in Rwanda. I also saw chimpanzees in Nyungwe forest and golden monkeys in Volcanoes Park, all rewarding different experience. We traveled is a comfortable car Toyota Land cruiser, all lodges were all excellent, Nyungwe Forest Lodge was a real treat, especially having it all to myself on the second day of my visit. Gorilla View lodge could do with a refurbishment perhaps.

A ride with wonderful horses, scenery, people and expectations that are fulfilled!
The guides(Andrew Gillies and Telane Greyling) are of the best !The horses are great - happy, sure footed, eager ! The food tasty! The back up staff always friendly and helpful!The riders are always interesting folk.The stretchers and bedrolls very comfortable , all the riders seem to love sleeping out under the stars!! The scenery spectacular, every day a visual suprise!The last day really is a good ending! The challenges while riding added to the adventure!And the footing on the last two days makes for the most wonderful fast canters, or gallops (you choose and your horse will oblige) .I have done this ride twice and it was my seventh ride with Namibia Horse safari!
Review about Botswana by chrispenfold
I loved Botswana, especially the Chobe National Park, where we saw an abundance of wildlife and in particular, elephants, monkeys, lions & hippo. We stayed in the North near Kasane.
Okavango Serenity
We went to the Okavango Delta in February. We stayed in a riverside camp manned by Delta Rain. We were serenaded by the very friendly Delta Rain team when we arrived via jeep (after a 1/2 hour ride from Maun).

They then paddled us along the river to our camp in their mokoros. It was a tented camp, with real beds, mosquito nets & en-suite showers (rigged up in a tree branch & filled with hot water, heated on the fire). We cooked over an open fire and sang songs around the fire by night. During the day we explored the local bush on walking safari & rivers via mokoro, but apart from the odd Fish Eagle we saw very little wildlife - think that the rivers were high and we were just unlucky. Life out in the bush was great and really laid-back & relaxed. I would recommend it.
The last night we stayed at a hostel back in Maun and one of our friends (sleeping in a tent within the fenced compound) was robbed (laptop)and apparently it had happened before. So that was a bit of sad ending to an otherwise fantastic trip.
