7 day trip, good guide, good accomodations, good travel partner. Saw 4 of the big 5.
We did a 2day trip through a special gamereserve. There where the most beautifull encounters with wildlife.

Review about Skeleton Coast National Park by George P, London
Hard work - big miles and not much changes as you travel - but it's worth the effort. You feel remote. It's an imposing coastline.

Review about Arusha National Park by bruges00
Quite different from other parks. Sligthly less frequent to see the big animals which can be more frequently seen in the other parks of northerm tanzania, but great vegetation, lush and green. Nice experience that of canoeing on one odf the many lakes in the park. Not many options for accomodation. Easily reachable from Arusha. I'd consider to include a short (e.g. 2 days) visit to this park when staying for a safari of at least 10 days.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by bruges00
Great scenaries around the lake. Cats, giraffes and elephants easily spotted while they go to the lake to drink at evening or inside the vegetation on the way to the lake. Rich also of hippos, flamingos and many other species of birds. Sunset is great moment to go, lovely colours on the horizon. On the way to the park, one may think to make a stop in the Mtowambu village: Very interesting the guided tour aroiund the village, organised by local people and with provents going to local population. One day is in my view enough.

Review about Tarangire National Park by club60
Our last park and one where the wildlife was more elusive. Perhaps because it was drier. The wildlife surrounding the Sopa Lodge were elephants and WaterBuck primarily and could be easily spotted.

Review about Luambe National Park by Andrew W
Good diversity of species but less visited by tourists. The lodge in the park has a great riverside setting. Chance of seeing wild dog.

Beautiful Scenery and Relaxing Safari Experience
I spent about three days driving through Kruger National Park on a tour bus as part of a University class trip. I loved that each night we stayed at another one of the campgrounds and we stayed in various types of camping cabin conditions from a nice cabin with a loft to permanent tents to little round huts with just beds.
The wildlife was not always abundant, but I liked the experience of looking for the wildlife and the excitement of seeing it. From the tour bus we saw a several of the Big Five during our trip including elephants, wild buffalo, and lions. I was among the few that decided to take an early morning safari on our last morning and we got to see our only rhino. Best of all we got to see a leopard in a tree right off the road, so we ended up seeing all of the Big Five during our trip. While it can be hard to see all of the Big Five in Kruger, the trip was great even before we lucked out and saw all of the Big Five on our last morning.
The scenery is beautiful and somewhat varied as you drive through the different parts of Kruger National Park.
I enjoyed that we took it slow getting to the campgrounds by mid afternoon and having the evening to relax. There was often still wildlife spotting opportunities at the campground including one that overlooked a large clearing. I enjoy identifying different bird species every morning while most were still sleeping using the little wildlife guidebook I picked up at the first gift shop we stopped at in Kruger. Most of the campgrounds had nice pools to swim in and cool off.

Review about Kenya by lslay78
Kenya was an excellent destination for my first safari. We could find a multitude of wildlife to view every day and the accomodations were first class.

With a backdrop of Mt. Kiliminjaro you just can't go wrong!
