It’s not easy to get to, but once you’re there, you’ll be glad you came. I took a night safari, a full day safari in Kruger National Park, a short tour in Johannesburg, and a few days in Cape Town. I could easily have spent more time in each location. I stayed in a camp (MoSafai), and I enjoyed that. Not luxurious by any means, but well organized with everything in the tent connected to a private bathroom with shower and hot water.

South Africa is a fantastic destination for a safari. We went to Sabi Sands and had a magical time and were really well looked after. The wildlife was breathtaking and the staff went above and beyond. Had a few days in Johannesburg as my husband works there. The South Africans are absolutely delightful, I felt so welcomed and the food is superb. All the locals are very friendly however there is a high crime rate in Johannesburg so you can't really wander off and explore. Having said that we did a bus tour which was very interesting and we learnt a lot about the city. There is also a nice shopping mall. My husband went to Capetown on business and loved it, stunning place.

We went north from Johannesburg to Mbombela and did a panorama tour then had a couple of fabulous days at Umkumbe Safari Lodge.
The animal viewing was wonderful. Especially seeing leopard.

South Africa is a place to visit if you look for a true adventure with breathtaking nature, unique cultutr and premium food / wine. It is a very save place and comparable cheap given the high quality products and service you get. March has been a great month to visit Sourh Africa as temperature wise it was mild,dry and less crowded as in other months. South Africa, a top destination to spend some quality time with your loved ones!

Krugar was absolutely amazing. We were able to see the big 5 and so many others. The animals were plentiful, our guides were very fun and knowledgeable. Safety was first and foremost. I would love to go again. Everyone was so friendly. I live outside yellowstone national parkand this is 1000x better!

My "go to" place where I can relax

I have now been to South Africa five times since my first visit in 2012 where I fell in love with most of the places I have visited - some not so much but when it's organised tours you don't have a choice. However this time I arranged it myself and was able to go where I wanted - which was Kruger National Park. That place is just amazing and you can feel yourself relax just being there - if you happen to see the big five every day then so much the better! I can't wait to go back

sunshine wildlife and wine - all I need

South Africa is a great destination. It has sunshine, excellent wine and good wild life. At present it is also very good value for money. I was just a little disappointed at how long it took Inverdoorn to tell me my pick-up time from my hotel. It cost me half a day waiting for this information.
