The Kruger National Park is definitely worth a visit.
Although August is still winter and the dry season, the temperatures in the KNP are mild and days are sunny. We saw so many animals , birds and magnificent birds of prey that we felt extremely privileged. There are many spots with beautiful views of undisturbed nature and the dry winter landscape has a beauty of it's own with the beautiful Impala Lily flowering white and red against the artistic backdrop of grey branches, yellow grasses and dry golden leaves. Closer to the rivers, the vegetation is greener.
On long weekends/very busy days access to the park for day visitors may be restricted to avoid too many vehicles and traffic jams in the park, which is a good thing. Vehicles entering are also searched for fire-arms and alcohol, which is of benefit to all visitors. The asphalted as well as the dirt roads are well maintained and an 4X4 (off-road) vehicle is not needed. The food and service in the restaurants (Skukuza and Lower Sabie) were top quality and the view from the restaurants over the Sabie river is magnificent. All staff in the KNP were very friendly.
The KNP also offers night drives and guided walking safaris to visitors. Sleeping facilties range from beautiful thatched roof chalets to luxury tents.

One day and night in the Okavango Delta.
As part of a southern Africa tour, we spent one day and night in the Okavango Delta.
In the early morning they took us to a local village. From there we were transported by mokoro to a nice camping place where we would spend the night. After lunch and a swim, we went on a walk on one of the delta's many islands. We only saw some wildlife from far away, but on the way back a Hippo showed itself while we were in the mokoro's. Afterwards at camp we had dinner and spent hours watching the stars.

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by Piero
I liked more Kruger National Park, perhaps beacuse of the guide

Fantastic
I've been in Kruger National Park for two days and I enjoyed it a lot.
I was lucky enough to be accompanied by a guide , who was very skilled in finding animals and who explained to me in detail everything related to zoology, biology and curious about animals in the park .
It was undoubtedly one of the best holidays of my life .
Weather was perfect and accomodation too.

Review about South Africa by JossieK
Undeniably great wildlife, nature, scenery and birding opportunities. South Africa is a very popular tourist destination, and as the world gets more populated and more and more people are able to afford overseas holidays it is very difficult not to see a lot of other tourists around, unless you are prepared to pay a lot more money for exclusive private game reserves/lodges.

Most amazing wonderful experience ever.
Professional Service
I was looking for a safe option as a solo female traveler for a 3 days trip to Murchison National Park. My choice of driver/guide Willy was great at executing his duties, always handy with all the answers I bombed him with, as well as a very steady driver.
The choice of accommodation Parkside Safari lodges was excellent with a fabulous of the Albert Nile section of the great river Nile, at the northern side of Murchison falls national park Tangi gate. I really enjoyed my 3 days trip.

Great experience as allways
In september 2015 we had a fantastic trip again with Cul Tours and Safaris. It is the 10th time in the last five years we use Stevens company to get around in Uganda. This time we visited many craft groups and had a gamedrive in Murchison Falls National Park and were lucky to see a lion family. We can only recommend using Stephen and Cul Tours and Safaris as organizers, whether you plan your trip yourselves or let him do it. You can rely 100% on him. We come back next year.

Great all-round and last-minute camping safari
Last September we decided we wanted to go on a last-minute safari. We found a great one with lodges with another tour-operator, when Marjon from Caracal emailed me with an offer we couldn't refuse; A three day safari with tents. No lodges, no big tented camps, just small iglo tents on a campsite. As I had already experienced that my preference goes out to these kinds of safari's the choice was an easy one, we chose Caracal! We were picked up by one of the owners of the company and handed over to our very good guide, Max. Max did a very great job in making the trip "holistic". Of course we excited to see the big five (and so we did), but Max also teached us a lot about the less popular flora and fauna of the different national and conservation parks we visited. Along the way we saw many bored safari guides who just pointed out the umpteenth Simba or Tembo, but Max showed us the whole ecosystem, and every one of them with great energy and cute little anecdotes! Best. Safariguide. Ever.
Afterwards, Max dropped us of near Kilimanjaro. What a service!
