South Africa is a fantastic country for vacation. It has everything from wildlife, excitement to beach life.
This time I spent 2,5 weeks in Cape West next time I will go to the east.

Trip of a life time

4/5

Safari in South Africa (Sabi Sands) was amazing. Our ranger got us close up to the animals, but also showed respect to their privacy/space.
The scenery in Cape Town and along the Garden route was lovely. Unfortunately the weather wasn't. Everyone we met were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend South Africa as a travel destination (tick off the bucket list)

South Africa is interesting!!!
Overall rating
4/5

I liked South Africa. Arrived on October 6th stayed in Johanesburg for two days and October 8 went by car to Haziview city ( about 15 km farway the Kruger Park. The accomodation and foods were ok. I had nice time there. I stay for 3 days and visited Kruger Park 3 times. My experience was good, but my expectation was to see more animals. The Lion and leopard I sow just one and far away. The hippopotamus was impossible to see because they were underwater. I could to see girafas, zebras, bufalo, rinoceronte, monkey, empala. … The Safari was safe and drivers good. I had short and simple options in my trip. The price was good and all happened as planned.
The trip from Johanesburg to Haziwiew was safe. The road and drivers as well.
If you have ideia to go to Safari I recommend.
The meal is good. The weather in October is hot and dry most the time. Some time rains.
Wild life is interesting!!!

Joburg was a stopover which became a wonderful experience. It is a very interesting city and I also enjoyed travelling to Kruger National Park which was everything I hoped. So much more to see but my week provided memories everyone should experience.

4/5

The 5 day private safari for 4 at the Kruger National Park was awesome. Not only did we see a large variety of animals in their natural environment, we were also very fortunate to have had Shoes Mathebula from Khalanga Safaris as our guide because he pointed out and explained many aspects of animal behaviour to us, which enriched the whole experience. Besides that he also prepared ‘local’ meals for us which we enjoyed and the accommodations in the parks were very comfortable . Having never been on safari before, we did not know what to expect but we came away rating the Kruger safari as one of our best holiday trips. Besides the safari, we also spent 3 days in Cape Town which was not enough to appreciate what it had to offer. Having been warned about security issues, we were careful and attentive and did not have any problems during our self drive around the scenic costal route . Our stay at the V&A waterfront was exceptional for the ambience and proximity to food and shopping. I would recommend South African as a holiday destination.

4/5

Our stay at Makweti was superb - hospitality, catering, service and over quality of experience cannot be faulted. The array of wildlife we saw on our morning and afternoon explorations and the immediate proximity to the wildlife was truly amazing - a special mention to Joseph our safari guide/host, his knowledge, patience and service was a highlight of our 4 day experience.
