Destination of Beauty and Despair
Cape Town has the stunning backdrop of Table Mountain against the blue sky, the beautiful Company Gardens and Kirstenbosch Botannical Gardens. The new V&A Waterfront is a pleasant and safe place to dine but could be anywhere.
The Robben Island tour left a lasting impression but could have been more dynamic
On the streets, the poverty and despair of the poor is plain to see. The highway out to the winery areas of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek is flanked by huge townships and morning and evening becomes a “snake” of overfilled minibuses as the residents commute to work.
The wineries area then feels obscenely decadent. The towns and surrounding area is charming. The tastings are great value and each winery normally has more than just wine on offer e.g gardens to explore, art exhibitions
We went on a 3 day quickie safari in the Kruger National Park. Surpassed

all our expectations, in part due to our Wild Wings guide’s superb knowledge of the animal/bird habitats and habits.We would love to return to South Africa again in the future to do another safari and explore the Garden Route. The people we met everywhere were delightful, food and wine were always delicious and great value for money. The weather and flowers were beautiful in October

A safari is a must when in South Africa

a fantastic time. We stayed 3 days 2 nights which was enough perhaps because Gareth enabled us to see the elephants leopards buffalo lions and cubs giraffes jackals hippos impala’s masses of different bird species and most importantly we did not have to queue at any time to watch the animals in their natural environment. Gareth was also very mindful of the environment we were in and took care not to intrude on the animals

Exciting
The experience was really wonderful. I would recommend for guided tours for both cities and safari. It is the safest way to travel. I would not recommend to travel without a guide as some areas are not safe such as Johannesburg and parts of Capetown. It isn't worth it to risk your safety. You will also see more and when you are traveling such a long distance it is definitely worth it

The Western Cape is my happy place
The Western Cape has só much to offer.
I love the mountains, the coastal drive from Gordons Bay to Hermanus and beyond.
The fynbos is breathtakingly beautiful.
The hospitality industry offers a varied selection of cuisine. And if you veer a little off the beaten track, you find traditional cuisine of a high quality.
The wineries, local weekend festivals, the unspoiled west coast north of Cape Town, mountain passes, farm stalls, the wild flowers in early spring, hikes - I get so excited about it all.

We had an amazing couple of days in Kruger National Park which was one of many highlights of our incredible 10 days in South Africa. Great food, drink, climate, scenery, hospitality and people.

A very pleasant place.
My experience in South Africa was fantastic, from the booking with Viva Safari, the flights, to our stay at Tremisana Lodge. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Patrícia Landau, who was incredibly helpful and answered all our questions about the lodge and everything the safari had to offer. I would also like to express my gratitude to the entire Tremisana Safari team. We were warmly welcomed, and everyone went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. We were able to see all the Big 5, and despite the intense heat, the experience was truly incredible!

Must visit one time in your life
Decent experience in case you have adequate expectations. Some people were disappointed as they expected to see all animals but that was not the case for everyone

Adventurous
It’s a beautiful country with amazing sceneries, but they remember a lot of the south of Europe.
Wildlife is unbeatable, just amazing.

First time safari!
My first time to go on a safari so I flew to Kruger National Park from Cape Town via Johannesburg. I wanted to see and experience a "real" safari and I greatly enjoyed the experience. I would recommend everyone to at least try this once in your life, you will not regret it. Kruger National Park lived up to its hype. No need to splurge on luxury accommodations, inside the park, the safari is the same for everyone. "Hunting" the wild animals lets you enjoy the real Africa.

Beautiful country
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.
