S A a vibrant colourful scenic country

South Aftica is a must see country.
Firstly for the wildlife and the scenic areas where the wild animals live. Absolutely beautiful and an unforgetable place.
Sabi Sands was my favourite safari park, as the vehicles went off the dirt tracks and into the fields where the animals were sighted.
The compound and glamping accomodation was inside the wildlife area, thus easier to be near the animals at sunrise and sunset when they are most visible. The accomodation and food here were outstanding.
Secondly, to see Johanesburg city centre (a no go area) and surronding area via a tour guide who knew where to go and where not to go.
Soweto and surrounding townships are full of history including the street where both Mandella and Archbishop Tutu both lived
Finally we flew an internal flight to Capetown and enjoyed a two day guided tour to Table Mountain, Penguin Beach, a boat tour to see the seals and a drive down to the Cape of Good Hope. Then we hired our
Read more own car and visited Hermanus, and the wine touring areas Stellenbosch and Franshoek. All were well worth seeing. Capetown is safer than Jo burg. Jo burg is mainly the gateway to the safari parks.

Beautiful country, returned home with beautiful memories

We booked some days in Johannesburg and some days in Kruger Np. We enjoyed every day. We loved Kruger NP and the wildlife, this place is so beautiful and always has something to surprise you with. We did experience a lot of wildlife even though we were not able to see lions and cheetah. On the way back to Johannesburg we spent a day to see Panorama route and Blyde river canyon, and Gods window. Absolutely breathtaking views and sceneries.
In Johannesburg we spend some days only for relaxation in Randburg. We only stayed in our hotel which was nice and safe. We did not feel unsafe in any case but then again we only moved around with a privet taxi driver.
The only negative thing are the drivers/guides in Kruger NP who lack of interest and they are not helpful at all spotting the animals or birds. This area needs improvement.

South Africa is a beautiful country! The people there are lovely – very warm, and very helpful. Setting up my Safari in Krueger national Park was terrific through Safari Bookings - easy to understand process, and responses were very quick. Sadly, due to flooding in January, many roads were washed out in the park and we were unable to see some animals. However, what we saw was amazing! Thank you to all who work with the tours. Excellent guides!
