South Africa is amazing because you can combine a visit in nature with one in the city. We have friends in Cape Town, so we spent a few days there before taking a two hour flight to Sabi Sands. It's also a one hour flight (plus two hour drive) to Johannesburg. Or, if you want a beach, it's about a 40 minute charter flight to Mozambique. A lot of other couples on their Honeymoon finished their adventure there. There are many reserves that one can visit.

Going on safari in South Africa was at first far out of our comfort zone, but once there we felt welcomed and were blown away by the people, the scenery and the wildlife.
Since this was my first safari experience and I had the great fortune of staying at Tintswalo, Idube, and Lukimbi; three very different lodges. I fell in love with game reserves and photographing animals. I loved being able to interact with various cultures, just learning basic greetings and getting to use them. Even down to the various drivers who took me from lodge to lodge and to the airport: so many unique people who were easily willing to share their knowledge and pride in South Africa. It just kept getting better! And I would like to add that the admin staff were all very professional and helpful in securing last minute transportation. Many more good things to say.....fabulous experience.
There scenery is exceptional... I am not so much in birding, so I could have a total different view of this compared to someone who is in birding. Nature and wildlife is unique and beautiful - a must see.

The wildlife in South Africa is second to none, and there are plenty of stunningly scenic spots around. It's difficult to describe, but I never imagined I'd see the numbers of (wild) animals I actually saw.
The bush vibe does lack a bit as it's tightly regulated around most of the parks other than for the unfenced ones, but ultimately this all depends on which places you visit.
South Africa has such a diverse and colourful history and by far the destination of choice when it comes to vistas that are so breathtaking and majestic. One does not have to travel vast distances to see oceans crashing against the shores or sunkissed beaches, Table mountain with Cape Town nestled at her feet, Winelands with world class wines, Game parks with all the big five, and Mountain passes that meander through unspoilt beauty.
