A place we would go again!
South Africa had everything we could have wanted. To start with all the drivers were friendly and knowledgeable. We chose to go on a safari close to Cape Town and were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation, food, atmosphere and getting a chance to see the big 5. In Cape Town we had the best meals of our lives, eating lots of fresh seafood and local game. My wife enjoyed the shopping and walking around town. The areas were spotless, safe, and had a fun vibe. A must-visit is Robyn Island and the Desmond Tutu Foundation. I would recommend South Africa as a destination for all!

Great
I didn't feel my life was in danger. However, there are many vagrants and many beggars. At the airport, you will be asked for a lot of tips. This was also an experience that made me realize the disparity. I was a little scared when I was asked to use marijuana only once. However, marijuana is not illegal in South Africa. Safari was perfect. I was able to see the Big Five. All the staff were helpful and friendly.

My 3 weeks in Soth Africa

types of animals, large and small. We then did self drive tours from J'Burg to St. Lucia and then, after a flight, on the Garden Route. Highlights included hiking and trail running in the Drakensberg, self drive game drive in Isimangaliso Wetlands Park, the Hippo and Crocs cruise, Addo Elephant Reserve, and a cruise out of Knysna to see the dolphins. The scenery in the Drakensberg and Garden Route was dramatic and beautiful. We stayed in several different guest houses, bed and breakfast, etc. Uniniformly the accommodations had tremendous charm and character (tho each different from the other). The level of service was very high, and the food excellent. No problems with the roads or getting cellular signal. As a visitor from the USA I found the cost of 4 star accommodations to be MUCH less than I am used to in the USA and the quality of food and hospitality better. The weather (in March) was cooler in the Cape and Garden Route, warmer in the Kruger and St Lucia areas, but a drier heat in Kruger and moderated by the ocean at St Lucia. So, basically pleasant everywhere. We travelled just after the rainy season, so everything was green. We loved it and will go back.

Too good to miss. Don’t get deterred by the naysayers
We had another amazing few weeks in SA. Garden Route, Karoo, winelands, Cape Town and then Kruger to finish. To have a holiday that’s so varied and so much fun anywhere else is probably an impossibility.
The food, wine, hospitality, the scenery, roads and towns, the welcomes, the helpfulness and everything else is amazing.

Mindblowing, stunningly beautiful safari experience
Everything was perfectly organized by Pembury Tours. It was a once in a lifetime holiday with exceptional accomodation, food at Simbavati Waterside Lodge was incredibly delicious and we've been very lucky in seeing all kinds of animal we could wish for. We can only recommend staying in two Private Game Reserve as you get to see different animals.
We always felt very safe, the staff everywhere was so warm-hearted that we felt home immediately. Nothing to critizice, we would book it again for 100%.

Unbelievable beautiful
Our trip to South Africa greatly exceeded our expectations. It is an extremely beautiful country, lush, and green. We booked a stay in Pilanesberg National Park where we did several game viewing drives. We saw many wild animals on each drive. Our lodging in the park was great, had a pool, goid food, including a braai one evening. Service was great and staff extremely friendly and helpful. We also spent eight days in Cape Town and enjoyed the mountains, ocean, wine farms, museums, more great food, and friendly people. Despite safety warnings, we always felt safe. Would absolutely recommend a visit to South Africa.

It's a beautiful wonderful country
Part of our trip we stayed at the all inclusive amekena lodge. It was quite expensive to stay there but worth every penny. The game drives were brilliant and saw lots of different animals and the tour guides were very knowledgeable.
The food was excellent and as good as any 5 star posh restaurant you would have in London. Staff very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The only issue we had was there was a storm over night and our room flooded. However it was quickly mopped up and didn't destroy our trip. I would love to go back there.
