Adventurous
It’s a beautiful country with amazing sceneries, but they remember a lot of the south of Europe.
Wildlife is unbeatable, just amazing.

First trip to South Africa
First trip to South Africa, blown away by this beautiful and diverse country. Visited Cape Town, Franschhoek and Kruger, this was the perfect mix for us. Did our own thing in Cape Town using a hire car and Airbnb in Clifton, visiting cape point, Table Mountain, boulder beach and Constantia Glen vineyard, all fabulous. Then on to Franschhoek, another stunning Airbnb, the vineyards and many wine tastings didn’t disappoint. Then on to Kruger, we booked Hoyo Hoyo with Safari.com, flew to Hoedspruit and we were met at the airport, Hoyo Hoyo was perfect, we stayed for 3 nights, they looked after us so well, we saw almost all the animals it was definitely the highlight of the trip. Trip of a lifetime, thank you South Africa.

A spectacular country with breathtaking scenery plants and animals.
South Africa offers an unbelievable diversity in plants, landscapes, sea scapes. We are also captivated by the wonderful culinary experience both shopping and in restaurants at all levels.

Unforgettable trip in a beautiful country
We did the safari from Hoedspruit (South Africa). The nearby game reserves were very interesting and offered plenty of opportunities to see the Big Five. Keep in mind that it’s unlikely you’ll see all the animals on a single game drive. The rangers do everything they can to show you as many animals as possible, but sometimes you also need a bit of luck. Remeber that It’s still the wild, not a zoo. We did two or tree drives per day, which was necessary to spot a lot of wildlife. We also did a day trip to Kruger National Park with a guide. Highly recommended not to go on your own, as guides share information with each other about the best spots to see wildlife.
In the end, we saw a lot of animals in four full days. Except for the rhino, we spotted the entire Big Five. But even without the animals, the surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful.
The safari was organized by Shinzelle Safari’s, and they were truly amazing. Everything was well arranged, with excellent communication. Highly recommended!

can see the border of Mozambique! We also we went to the potholes and to see 2 waterfalls! On our last day we opted in to the sunrise tour and were in awe yet again. We chased lion foot prints all over a the private reserve until we finally caught up with 2 male lions enjoying their morning nap. To be that up and close and personal with these beatiful creatures was beyond my wildest dreams (pun intended). Everyone we met were so friendly and so eager to share their culture and their country with us. We were just so greatful for their incredible hospitality and sharing everything their country had to offer. I cannot wait to go back again and experenience even more of South Africa!

One of the best experiences of my life
I had never been interested in going on a safari, but once I decided to visit South Africa, it became a must-do on my list.
No regrets—it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Being so close to animals in their natural habitat was surreal.
Mo Afrika provided top-notch guides who were knowledgeable, efficient, and excellent at spotting wildlife. Thanks to them, I was able to see the Big Five in just two days in February.
I highly recommend this experience to everyone at least once in their lifetime!

Even better than I could ever imagine!
We had a family experience: my husband, my 11 years old son and I. South Africa is much better than great! We visited Johannesburg, than we drove to Kruger National Park and we had one of the best experiences in the Safari. We could see the Big 5 plus the Cheetah! People are amazing, very kind and gentle everywhere! We could eat zebra and crocodile meat (delicious)!!! The weather helped a lot, not too hot, despite it's summer time! Table Mountain (in Cape Town) was the best city! And Plettemberg the most beautiful and lovely! The wildlife, the landscape, the views... we'll never forget. Important to mention: we rented a car and it was very easy to park everywhere. And it was also very safe!

Beautiful and Diverse
It’s hard to find a trip that can match what South Africa offers. It provides something for everyone from chasing the Big Five in Kruger to sipping wines in the Cape Winelands to cycling the Cape Peninsula.
We read a lot about safety in South Africa but we never felt unsafe at any time. We did an incredibly well organized tour to Kruger with MoAfrika but also toured on own in the Capetown area. Renting a car was easy and safe, much prefer driving in South Africa to let’s say Italy.
I can’t imagine a better climate than you will find in Capetown. Always sunny and never too hot. I found it to be a cross between the beauty of Vancouver, Canada and the wonderful climate of San Diego, USA. Kruger can be very hot so I would choose a cooler time of year to visit if that is a concern.

SA 3 day safari
I spent a week in SA just outside Johannesburg. If you don't feel concerned regarding personal safety the constant reminders with adverts re safety and electric wire around everywhere - you soon do. It rained for 9 days constantly!
Everyone I dealt with was really helpful and very nice but - ask yourself would you want to live in a hugely wealthy country and be reduced to performing handstands at red lights, or asking customers at the restaurant is it ok repeatedly because some white guy is watching them like a hawk! There feels little dignity for the majority of the population in the Joburg, Petoria area. For which reason I will not return.
The Safari was great - if there is a dentist from Asia who has not taken their new partner on Safari - I rather doubt it! At the weekends- white SA arrives for Safari with their "special children". In short this country needs visitors and the money we bring and everyone was so welcoming. It has a huge amount to offer but until it equalises ownership, equality and opportunity!!!
