A beautiful country with amazing people!
We spent 16 nights in South Africa and in addition we visited Zimbabwe and Mauritius while on vacation. We visited Cape Town, drove the Garden Route spending time in Franschhoek, Hermanus, Knysna, and Gqeberha (PE), before traveling to Hoedspruit for a safari in the Karongwe Private Reserve.
Cape Town was incredible as we were able to tour Table Mountain, Seal Island, Boulder Beach, The Cape of Good Hope, Kirstenbosch, and Constantia for a taste of their excellent selection of wine. The food and wine in Franschhoek was amazing. The scenery along the way through Hermanus, Knysna, and PE was breathtaking! We even visited the Knysna Elephant Park and had a close up encounter with elephants and zebra.
We were able to see the Big Five in Karongwe as well as zebra, hippo, giraffe, and cheetah and many other animals on the list along with many bird species. The food and service at the Karongwe River Lodge was 5 star.
We have already recommended South Africa as a destination that should be on anyone's travel bucket list!

An extraordinary trip
From our trip to South Africa we were in Cape Town, the Kruger National Park and Johannesburg.
In Cape Town we had the opportunity to see the penguins and whales, the weather was a little cool and rainy, but our guide Sarah knew how to take advantage of it and made us have wonderful days, we were able to climb Table Mountain with a view spectacular.
In the Kruger National Park, since we entered the park we started to see animals, giraffes, zebras, impalas, all of these before arriving at Lounge Senalala, our very pleasant surprise was seeing a group of super friendly and expert young people, On the first morning safari we were able to see a pride of lions, something spectacular!! Of the big five we were able to see 4 in Kruger Park.

Safari Paradise
Kapama and Simbavati private lodges were excellent. Kruger national park area was excellent and was able to see Big 5 on almost every day. It was so relaxing just watching animals living their lives. We learnt so much about their behavior. What a great opportunity. Tour operator and trackers went out of their way to make us comfortable. I would return to African continent for more safari tours.

It was a wonderful experience and not to be missed.
We enjoyed touring Johannesburg but Cape Town was the place to be for us. The weather was incredible and all of the
people we met were extraordinarily pleasant. It seems as though the places we visited were safe and there were plenty of security guards. The scenery was Very beautiful and our safari with Viva Safari was very enjoyable with plenty of animal sitings. Krueger National Park was exciting and once again plenty of animals.

Amazing!
The scenery in the National Parks in South Africa was absolutely stunning. Had a good safari in Kruger visiting the Elephant Herd Tours place first and learning a lot about elephants that I didn't know before. Also drove up to eSwatini (Swaziland) and stayed at Mkyaha game reserve so that I could see rhino and indeed I did! Loads of them. It's a unique place to stay and was quite an experience with it's stone houses in the camp that have no windows or doors but flushing toilets and hot water showers.

Simply amazing.
Our first Safari and it did not disappoint. We had booked a 3 day Safariwith Ku Sungula and had seen all of the big five within 48 hours.
Accommodation was clean and comfortable, especially loved the outdoor areas for each room. Staff extremely helpful and friendly.
A fabulous trip!
