Making new memories

South Africa.
what a great country you are.
nature beautiful, beautiful mountains, long quiet roads,beautiful people
we spent 3 days at Graaff Reinet, made a nice walk, delicious food and great nature.
from there we drove to plettenberg bay here we enjoyed the sea, delicious wine of course also nature, but we also had nice meetings with friends.
from there we went back to johannesburg to go to kruger. beautiful route to it.
and thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife in the park.

Cape Town is a great city, from the mountains to the sea, we toured with a driver up to the Table Mountain,the cable car displaying fantastic views,down to the city and out along the coast and seaward,
The beaches were good and and close to the city,
We travelled out to a Safari Resort(,Along way from Cape Town) Mossel Bay, Botlierskop Private Game Reserve,
it was well worth the drive,
and everything there was wonderful, the Lodge and Meals excellent, the Rooms very comfortable with many types as options,swimming pool ,spa,etc
The staff and Game guides were perfect, the vehicles well maintained and comfortable, we saw many animals including Cheeters, Lions, Rhino, Hippo, Giraffes, Elephants, and bird species, we did 4 game drives, early morning and late afternoon, Each one stopping for refreshments along the way, each drive about 3 hours, recommend this Lodge

Pilanesberg is a beautiful well kept park. I was thrilled not only by the game but mostly by the breathtaking landscape

Cape Town is nice. Must visit Kruger. Don't go to Joburg!

Cape Town is paradise. Kruger National Park gives memorable experience. Food is cheap and nice.
Joburg sucks!!!! So dangerous.

A COUNTRY OF HUGE CONTRASTS

4 / 5 4 /5

We were only in Jo'burg, so I can't comment on all of S.Africa. We were staying in Sandton - total luxury everywhere you looked - the cars, the buildings, the malls. We did a trip on the Green bus route around the area where Mandela lived latterly. Wow.. However the houses are all locked in behind high walls, electrical fences, security. We were strongly advised against going out on our own - our hotel had a shuttle bus to the mall and convention centre. There is security everywhere however. We did a day trip to Pilansberg reserve. Very enjoyable with a very knowledgeable guide - plenty of elephants with babies and a rhino with her baby too. We saw a lot of plains game and also the birdlife was lovely. On our final day after the Expo that we were attending, we went to Soweto and the Apartheid museum. Well worth the visit.

South Africa has some of the most diverse landscapes and terrain I've ever seen and surprised me with how much was familiar compared with how much I did not expect to see. Lots of animals to see with lots of opportunities to see them up close, far away, and in their natural environment.

We loved our safari. With only 6 days we got the big 5 ! Our guide was really helpfull and always here to tell us the reality of this nature and secrets about it. With only a Half day of rain, the weather was great ! If you love birds you will be served with the quantity of them, they are always here even when you don’t expect them and they are so beautifull with their flamboyant colours like Rollers or Flycatchers which there are many of them. Lodgments are good and fit with your activities you could do all day. We were super lucky since we got a great guide, Shoes who is the Khalanga Safaris boss. He got a lot of experience and tell you everything about animals and he is always here to answer your questions…
