The only negative thing it's sometimes there are too many people watching the same animal and it could be stressing for him.

Been to SA 8 times mainly Gauteng and Kruger always plenty to see loads of wildlife people really friendly. Love the country really enjoyed the coastal walks this visit and Cape St Francis so relaxing, again plenty of wildlife and birds

South Africa offers a diverse range of opportunities for viewing mountains, the sea, and discovering wildlife. The Kruger Park is definately worth visiting. A person on safari could spend 5 days or more in that park. South Africa has a number of other smaller parks throughout the country. The Drakensburg mountains are spectacular as is the Garden Route. The wild flowers of the Karoo, are also something worth seeing in August/September. On the whole SA is worth one visit at least.

This is an enchanting park, located in an arid mountain location, with a wide variety of animals, easily viewed because of the low vegetation and excellent road network. The accommodation and other facilities are of a high standard.

From a photography point of view few destinations (in South Africa) can beat PGR.

Ideally I would like to see all the animals that I shoot photos of as totally wild "not on reserves", but I realize that in South Africa that's just not available as much. The parks I've visited have been amazing and the birding is top notch.

Did not visit the Kruger itself but am to understand that it does get very touristy. If you can afford it, definitely try to go for one of the private game reserves with unfenced borders (joining the Kruger) and intimate safari lodges.

Bush vibe is possible on in selected as exlusive destinations; the most popular parks are so easily accessible and well maintained that mass tourism and self drive are quite common. To live the bush experience you have to pay

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.

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