Everything was magnificent, and we didn't travel high-end. People were very friendly. The national parks were fantastic places.

Without having previous experience of Safari, South Africa lived up to our expectations

South Africa is so completely different (the landscape, the people, the food and especially the wildlife) from anything I have on the East Coast of the U.S.

One of the most beautiful countries in the world, South Africa features a wide variety of animals, birds, and flora and fauna, but what makes it special is the people. They are friendly, welcoming, and outgoing, and all committed to building a new South Africa. A great place to safari!

It offers a diversity of experience unmatched anywhere in the world. In a short vacation you can fit in a wildlife experience, visits to historical locations, play gold on some of the world's finest courses, drink some top grade wines and lie on white sandy beaches.

South Africa is easily reached from just about anywhere. Internal transportation is very well organized and efficient. It is also convenient to have a world class city like Cape Town to enjoy between safaris to recharge before heading back into the bush.

The safari experience is great, but in South Africa you can combine it with the wonderful Cape area and enjoy so much more (beaches, wineries, etc.)

South Africa has all the animals and they are obviously pretty easy to see.

There are many ways to see them from 5+ Star resorts to more run of the mill camps.

My concern is that it seems in South Africa that the animals are somewhat contained especially on the numerous private reserves. That certainly makes them easy to see but you feel a little like they are corraled for human viewing - still fun but not totally 'natural'.

We are planning a safari to Tanzania and Kenya - places where the animals roam pretty freely and we are the ones who are fenced in.
