South Africa is beautiful, wounded, and full of wildlife.

We loved South Africa overall. It is a beautiful country, with dramatic scenery, excellent wildlife viewing, interesting history, friendly people, and some of the best food we have had anywhere outside of France. It was also surprisingly affordable compared with many other places we have visited, especially considering the quality of the food, lodging, and experiences.
The wildlife viewing was unforgettable. Seeing animals like elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalo, leopard, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, zebra, and many antelope species in the landscape itself was extraordinary. The scenery was also memorable, from the Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon to the waterfalls, mountains, rivers, and open bush. The weather during our visit was also excellent, with cool mornings and comfortable days. Our accommodations were very good throughout the trip.

The only thing I would say is that South Africa can feel a little intimidating from a safety perspective. There
Read more are electric fences, barbed wire, private security, and frequent warnings about robberies in many places, which can make the country feel more dangerous than other places. That said, the people we met were friendly and welcoming, and we had a wonderful experience.

I went to South Africa expecting a poor utilities. I was astonished of how everything is organized and how civilized the country is. I went to Kroger Park where I saw the big 5 animals. The Safari was organized and the cars operate in designated roads (not allowed to go off-road). The animals were kept alone in their environment.
I had a restriction of eating Halal food only. The Halal food is found everywhere in almost all restaurants.
The people of South Africa that I met were very friendly and they love to laugh and dance.
I went on a boat trip to see the whales and that was really an experience. I saw not only the whales but also thousands of dolphins migrating. That was once in a life time experience.
For sure, I will visit SA again.

The safari was excellent.
Everything well planned, the team was wonderful, took care of us. Wild Planet Safari was definitely a good choice.
The experience was great. We had opportyunity to see so many animals and wild life. Landscapes are uncredible.

With my daughter (15 years old), we could enjoy all the day


I recommend it, defintely.
