Nature and the beauty of the country is very important to all who live there. Getting away from the cities and into the bush is the best way to experience the true beauty of Africa

Beautiful, but troubled country, with wonderful scenery and wildlife
Our trip was way above our expectations, Accommodation,wildlife, guides, scenery etc. were all excellent.
Would highly recommend.
A kind, beutiful land full of surprices.
We are very satisfied with our trip. The weather was good, the food was okay and we had a good guide.
An amazing destination with fantastic people to make your holiday memorable.
We visited Tyron Safari in October and the whole experience completely surpassed all of our expectations. The transfer from Johannesburg was effortless, the accomodation was very comfortable, food was brilliant and everyone we met was trying to make our holiday as good as it could be. I couldn't recommend this company enough.

Hospitality, food, nature
We spent only few days for a safari and one day in Jo'burg. The safari experience was amazing under all standpoints: wildlife, food, accomodations and, above all, the warm ospitality of South Africans.
This is our second trip in your country (1st one dedicated to the Cape region and whale watching) and it confirmed the wonderful memories we had.
We love this country and look forward to coming back in the future for exploring other areas
P.S.: the agency (Safari.com) provided a 5star service

Absolutely fantastic experience and feel so privileged to have had the experience
We arrived to beautiful weather, many friends told me it could be cold at this time of year, but it was cool on the early game drive,but soon warmed up. Kruger was a fantastic experience and cannot explain how privileged we feel to have seen the big 5!
Our guides were fantastic and knew the park so well. Kruger is twice the size of Wales in the uk.
Dress with layers, like an onion and you'll do fine in kruger. There are blankets on the Jeep to keep you warm.

Great opportunity to reset after a very hard week's work
Pilansberg was beautiful and the Shepherd's Tree Game Lodge is to be recommended - friendly staff, excellent food and our guide, Ruan. was exceptional. All transport was efficient and friendly

Compare Kruger Park with Sabi Sand (Private game reserve) I would only go private in future.

Same issue with trying to go to Robben Island. Unless you are prepared to pay an exorbitant amount for a private tour, you can't get on a boat. Again, we had to give up. The V&A Waterfront is well advertised but in the end is only a shopping centre with some restaurants - quite disappointing. For an Australian, the prices in South Africa seem very cheap and it's a good place to go for a holiday once. Not enough different things to do to keep returning though but I would recommend it to anyone who has never been.

Many amazing game drives
We did quite a lot of game drives, maybe too many for some, but that's why we were in Africa. We went to Kruger ( Letaba, Skukuza and Croc Bridge) and Hluhluwe as well as transit drives through that part of South Africa. We did dawn and dusk drives almost every day as well as a night drive and an armed bush walk. Wildlife highlights, African Wild dog, leopard, white rhino, cheetah, lion, jackal, elephant, hyena and almost every type of antelope. The accommodations are basic, but are clean and safe. The weather is changeable in October, but had some beautiful days. The scenery is breathtaking from the bush to the Drakensbergs. People were very nice.
Other highlights were stopping off at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and donating to their wildlife program and bring scool supplies for their partnered school, Stopping one night at Royal Hlane in Swaziland and hot air ballooning in the Drakensberg.
