Great trip!

Our whole experience arranging our tour with Explore & Travel Africa Company was outstanding. We were able to give Michelle some ideas of what we wanted to see and she took it from there. She gave us options and then based on what we decided, arranged outstanding places to stay and all our transportation. We were able to just arrive in Cape Town and enjoy ourselves without the worry of taking care of those details. Every place we stayed was amazing. We spent 3 days seeing some of Cape Town and had a great time. Our hotel was in an area filled with restaurants, and a quick Uber to the sites and places we wanted to walk. We had to miss our trip to Robben Island because of weather and Michelle jumped in and helped us with that. We loved the trip out to Cape Point and the cable car to the top of Table Mountain. I know they are both "tourist" sites, but we thought they were worth it. Then we headed to Sabi Sands, took a day to check out part of the Panorama Route and ended at Timbavati
Read more Private Nature Reserve. The highlight of the trip was staying in places that have many wild animals that we could see as soon as we drove into the camps. On our safari drives we were able to see all the animals we wanted to see and learned so much about other animals we encountered. This was a fabulous experience and I recommend it to any traveler who loves animals and nature.

South Africa can provide the unique experience in life, a lot of fun and adventure, with good food and prices.

Modern African country with many contraddictions

I was in Cape Town and Kruger park.
Cape Town is scenically beautiful, even if the architecture is not particularly interesting, and there is no real centre, apart from the waterfront that is a bit of a turist trap. But it is always nice to have a city surrounded by the ocean, and the Constantia winery is worth a trip.
Kruger was quite a delusion, with a density of wildlife much lower than other parks I have been (ngorongoro, Serengeti, Etosha), and a big shopping mall close to the entrance. Overall South Africa is less exotic to a Western visitor than other African countries, and keeps the memories on a divided society.

The safari was fantastic...Kruger park is just amazing. Our guide, Harvey, was really good one and good person, fun, patient open- minded. Great moment in the bush. We saw the big five, a one time life expérience.
Then we continue to Joahnesbourg, we was at Sandton and we have opportunity to visit some historical sites and Soweto, very difficult moments (a lot of emotion) but good to do

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.
