Review about Central Kalahari Game Reserve by Ernest
Typical Kalahari just like Mabuasehube

Sleep with a lion or hyena outside your tent
We stayed in the Mabuasehube area of the park.
This is one of the few places where you can pitch your tent in the wilderness without having a fence to protect you from the wildlife. It is wild, very wild and you must be careful not to be included in the diet of the lions of which there are usually plenty.
This is typical Kalahari with very hot summers and pleasant cool to hot winters and is situated in the summer rainfall region. There are not any mountains and the scenery is grasslands with camel thorn trees which is heaven for a lover of the Kalahari.
Accommodation is camp sites, some with long drop toilets and cold showers and others with nothing, just the bush.
Mabuasehube can be reached from Nossob a rest camp in the South African part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park via a dune route of about 170km. This road is strictly for 4x4 vehicles with high ground clearance. The other options are from Tsabong in the South which is the route we took. This route is also just for 4x4's. There are also roads from the North and East but we have never tried them. There is no fuel available at Mabuasehube and at Tsabong we had to wait a day for the petrol to be delivered. Taking extra fuel is recommended.
The following items are not available at Mabuasehube:
1. Drinking water - take your own
2. Food - take your own
3. Diesel
4. Petrol
3. Doctors
4. Pharmacies
5. Garages
You must take along whatever you will need.
Be careful to not leave any food or anything else outside at night. Our cooler bag with cold drinks and picnic bag with all our cutlery was stolen by hyenas. Luckily we picked up cutlery stolen from previous visitors otherwise we would have had to eat with our hands. We used plastic bottles cut open for plates.
The wild life is typical Kalahari which means Springbok, Oryx, Lions, leapard and a few other antelopes as well as smaller cats and jackal. You will not find elephant, buffalo or rhino.

Review about Kenya by Kinyanjui Hager
Kenya offers an emense high diversity of wildlife and scenic beauty. Mountains and planes, savanna and forests, the Big Five, huge herds of wildbeasts, whatever you want, you find it. Prices are reasonable, transportation is no problem.

Review about Botswana by Ernest
It is the most wonderful country for lovers of wildlife with the greatest variety imaginable.
Fantastic and unique opportunity to encounter the majestic mountain gorilla!
After one long day drive on the bumpy Ugandan roads, all available accommodations provide clean rooms and friendly customer service, local food and even cold beers! Next day after early morning birding in the garden, the training comes on how to behave with and approach to gorillas. Then the hiking and gorilla tracking comes, which is almost certainly rewarded with the actual sighting them! This is the most fantastic 30-60 minutes of the entire trip but no doubt, it worth the efforts!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Alice Chen, San Francisco, USA
Wonderful microcosm of wildlife, with so many types of animals within such a small space! Unfortunately there were lots of other vehicles there too, but with a little bit of work you can avoid most of them. We saw a pack of hyenas chasing a cheetah here -- priceless!
