Incredible experience in the heart of wildlife

My girlfriend and I were amazed during our outings in the reserves. Magnificent encounters whether by vehicle or on foot. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and much more. I highly recommend taking a 3-hour walking tour; it's another experience to be had. Moafrika gave us good advice before the trip. And even though we did the safari with Viva Safaris, it was great. The places where we slept were very well equipped, especially the second camp. Going in March is a good idea to avoid the busy summer periods and, above all, it allows you to see baby elephants, zebras, hyenas, etc. The guides are really great at showing us as many animals as possible and giving us explanations.

We spent 5 lovely days in Kruger and saw almost all of the big 5 only failing to see rhinos. We got up amazingly close to wild animals and our safari was a total joy to my wife and I. Victoria Falls was a bucket list item for my wife and I and it totally lived up to its fame, what an awesome sight and sound it is. Finished off with some days in Cape Town and could have gladly spent an extra week in that beautiful city. We will definitely return.

A lovely holiday in the North East of the country. A few days safari where we saw the big 5 amongst other animals and birds. We also had a days drive around the scenic areas with lots of lovely views and tales of the history.
Great staff at the hotels we were in, helpful with travel, tourist information and dietary requirements.

Far beyond our expectations

5 / 5 5 /5

Our first Safari and it was breathtakingly good, so far beyond our expectations. The guide and tracker were amazing and we got so close to the animals, particularly the big 5 which we encountered on numerous times, as the guide was allowed to go of the tracks and into the bush to view. We saw very young, lion cubs, elephant twins, rhino and Hyena pups. I was slightly concerned about going in April knowing the bush would thick after the rains but it did not matter and a bit as the guide and tracker new where to look. We even experienced a water buffalo stampede (albeit we only heard it as it was dark) as two male lions tried unsuccessfully for a kill. We're not birders but saw so many different birds I'm still trying to remember the names and identify them. Five different eagles, three owls and all the other smaller birds. Well done Discover Africa

First time safari!

My first time to go on a safari so I flew to Kruger National Park from Cape Town via Johannesburg. I wanted to see and experience a "real" safari and I greatly enjoyed the experience. I would recommend everyone to at least try this once in your life, you will not regret it. Kruger National Park lived up to its hype. No need to splurge on luxury accommodations, inside the park, the safari is the same for everyone. "Hunting" the wild animals lets you enjoy the real Africa.

In Kruger Park was my first safari. Great park, lots of animals, nature, smells and sounds. The evening safari is a cool experience.

We love South Africa because of the friendly people everywhere, the face that the landscape seems to change almost every hour when you travel through the country, the wildlife, the climate, the excellent food and the prices of food and drinks (compared to the Netherlands)
It was our second visit and for sure we will go back again. We love going there when it gets colder in the Netherlands and it is spring/summer in South Africa.
