Beautiful & Cheap
We visited Cape Town and Aquilla Game Reserve, we loved it. The people were super friendly, the food was great, the weather was perfect and the wildlife was amazing. We found going out to be cheap and the cuisine was just fabulous. We are already planning a return trip for next year, and we certainly would recommend it to anyone considering going.

Natural Beauty
The lodge was very pleasant and elegant. We do twice safari a day ( early morning and late afternoon) the Early morning was perfect ( 6.am to 12) .
Just the food was a bit poor and not really quality :(

South Africa is the most wonderful and diverse location
We started our trip in Cape Town wehich so amazing. I felt completely safe,. Everyone we met were so helpful and friendly. We spent 9 nights, which was just enough to cover what we wanted to see. We went cage diving with sharks, visited the penguins at boulders beaqch. Travelled up Table mountain. We did 2 amazing free walks, one to Bo Kaap fabulous, another The Historic walk ok. Our hotel was fabulous, Cape Heritage, one of the oldest hotels in Cape Town.
After Cape Town we flew to Johannesburg to start our Kruger Safari. We were collected from our hotel and driven first to Trmisana Lodge, a good 4/5 hours drive ouch. Tip fly to Kruger. The room at Trmisana was so small dodgey aircon, couldnt sleep. The bar was not manned and lady a bit rude. The guides however were fabulous. So friendly and informative.
We moved next day to Marks Tree Houses. Staff so friendly and helpful. Treehouses were great , bathrooms very been cleaned.
The guide who drove us through Kruger was awful. Not friendly or welcoming. He drove too fast we m issed so much

Vast stretches of natural beauty created for humanity and animals alike
We visited Sabi Sands and stayed in Elephant Plains. Safaribookibgs.com organised the entire trip and we got what they promised. Very good transport arrangement for 400 km drive to Sabi Sands from J'Burg. Our escort Tabo is too good, courteous and very safe driving. Friendly and lively.
Elephant Plains is a fabulous property. Property with about 10 cottages and organised with great elegance blending with nature surrounding that place. U get to see from your room deer, Elephant and may be even Lion pride. Excellent food arrangement. The Chef took special care of us as we are Vegetarians and served us with Vegetarian dishes. Our host Junaita (Hopefully I am spelling her name correct; apologies otherwise) is simply superb ever smiling and helpful.
Elephant Plains organised two safari rides in 10 seater Forest open vehicle with an escort and ranger. Both the escort and ranger ensured that we saw the Big Five several times. Simply the wildlife is awesome. I recommend Safaribookings and Elephant Trail.

Fabulous experience
We staid in the Ku Sungula lodge for 5 nights and the experience was truly magic. The lodge is quite small and is operated by a small team of fantastic people. The safari trips were magic. Definitely recommend this as a destination! Thanks Yolanda and team.

Amazing country with beautiful wildlife and lovely people
We had an amazing experience in Safari at Kruger with the agency Viva Safaris.
Very well organized, experienced guides and drivers. We didn’t need to worry with anything. Just relaxing and having fun watching the beautiful wildlife. Fantastic memories for life!
Congratulations to the Viva Safaris team!

We loved Mjejane Game Reserv.
I think the headline says it all. Go there and experience the wildlife yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Trip of a life time
Safari in South Africa (Sabi Sands) was amazing. Our ranger got us close up to the animals, but also showed respect to their privacy/space.
The scenery in Cape Town and along the Garden route was lovely. Unfortunately the weather wasn't. Everyone we met were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend South Africa as a travel destination (tick off the bucket list)
