South Africa was absolutely breathtaking!

The experience was breathtaking from the moment we landed at the lodge, seeing all the big 5 animals and more within less than 24 hours. The service was exceptional, weather was great as it was chilly in the morning and evening but hot during the day. We felt safe and were with guides with 20+ years of experience. Safari Bookings did a great job of providing a detailed itinerary and was quick to respond.

We were very lucky, thanks to our guides, because in two days we saw all kind of wild animals (big 5) and birds in Krugers National Park. The sxenery was absolutely perfect and the game very interesting and surprising. Our guides explained everything and search to find all kind of animals. The food was delicious and the weather very good so not to suffer from high temperatures.

Great safari experience

Three weeks in South Africa - had a great time spending 10 days in Capetown and Paarl before driving up to Port Elizabeth. Fantastic trip with everything packing in - from township visit to safari - we saw, learnt and experienced a lot.
First time safari-ers, found the prospect of choosing pretty daunting but found this site excellent in sorting out priorities. We settled on Pembury Tours who were brilliant to work with - they understood the brief and went through some options until we were sorted. Ended up going to 2 camps - Sabi Sands and Timbivati - which was great advice as we got two different but equally enjoyable experiences (Arathusa and Umlani). The hospitality and organisation was unbelievable.
Totally recommend visiting - yes you do need to be careful and the power cuts are annoying - but probably one of the best trips we have had.

We did so much on this trip and found it all so rewarding. Afrikaburn, Soweto, (unreal) Safari, Cape Town, Robben Island, Franschoek wine tram and a day driving the Cape Cobras. What a trip!

South Africa is a stunning and extremely beautiful country- from the vast and wild Kruger National Park to Drakensberg Mountain. Simply amazing! Wildlife viewing was excellent even though we had no luck in Kruger- 2 days in the Park without seeing any predators at all (no rhinos too, only 2 out of the Big Five- elephants and buffalos). Kruger NP is beautiful, wild and I loved it, but sometimes (especially during a hot day) wildlife sightings were poor- the park is huge and sometimes you can drive for an hour or more without seeing anything. Private reserves such as Balule were great- lots of animals very close to the jeep (hunting lions, rhinos, etc.). I would suggest mix your safari when going to South Africa (private game reserve+Kruger NP). We went for a safari with Viva Safaris- overall very good operator, good value for money even though we didn't see as much wildlife as I would want. Weather in May was fabulous but it was way hotter than I have imagined! We had no safety problems
Read more but we were with our guides for most of the time, so I would suggest to stay alert during your visit. Joahnnesburg is a very interesting and beautiful city, full of streetart and big contrasts- definitely worth visiting (I recommend guided tour with Mhlanganisi Travel & Tours with Mr. Pastor as a guide).
