Wonderful nature, amazing culture and people, an absolute must to visit place!
3 days safari in the Krueger is an absolute te must to get in tune with the beautiful nature this country has to offer. A wonderful unforgettable experience to see all the aninals in the wild, never get tired of it!.. But 3 days are enough. Even staying outside the Krueger is ab3fine and in fact you get to experience more of local life.
Makebsure to spend enough time based in Cape Town. I stayed 9 days there did plenty of excursions and still there would have been more to see further east. Wine estates are a must and totally worth the visits to Stellenbosh and Franshuuk, in Groet Constantia make sure to do the chocolate pairing too!! The bitanical gardens are stunning as are the panoramic drives and cape point, the whales at Hermanus d multiple sites filled with history. Cape Town itself has lots to offer from food to museum to night life.
People are what makes this place special and wonderful.
A place to definitely put in everyone's travel list.. I can't wait to go back!!

The best place I have ever been!!! Heaven
We used Safari bookings (chap named Sam took us). It was epic. THE best safari/ tour we have ever done. We were on honeymoon here (the perfect destination, has everything!) and the full day tour was incredible, the guide was so knowledgeable and passionate, we saw the Big 5 (several times!) had some very special moments inc a Leopard up a tree with a kill, and a lion kill of a giraffe...! Everyone is freindly, polite, and cant do enough for you. The tour lasted longer than we booked we were so grateful! Thank you Safari Bookings!

The country has an immense variety of fauna and flora, people were very welcoming.
We had a great time in South Africa, as we were lucky enough to spend 3 weeks there. The variety is great, we saw many « safari » animals, as well as whales and penguins, but also could spend time in nice town areas having good drinks and food. Definitively recommend to spend enough time there and explore the coast as well as the North

Too many things to see and do for just one trip
Will have to come back another few times to be able to see and do all the things i had to leave apart for lack of time.Nature , food, golfing, wildlife and much more at convenient prices. By the way, in our vacation we always felt safe!

Unspoiled Beauty! Abundant Wildlife - even in the city!
We had a wonderful vacation in South Africa. I highly recommend Cape Town, but be sure to visit the national parks as well, where you will go on two or three games drives daily to see Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Kudu, Lions, Leopards, Rhinos, Hippos, and herds and herds of Impala! You won't believe how close you are able to get to the animals. Oh, and the birds!! Amazing birds!
One word of caution - the shark cage dive was disappointing. They can't guarantee you will see Great Whites and the chances of seeing them (at least this time of year) are not very good. We saw sharks, but they were no bigger than a dolphin and not scary at all. Also, it was very early in the morning and both the air and the water were COLD! I was miserable and would not do that again.
Everything else was wonderful, including the food - be sure to visit Table Mountain.

An exciting and pictureseque country with many problems.
Three days in Kruger National Park were memorable. The wildlife sightings were fantastic even the less popular animals. Any wildlife lover would not be disappointed. Unfortunately concerns about safety in various areas is always in the background.

What a vast awesome place South Africa is and what a beautiful place to visit
Our Kruger safari was booked with Viva Safaris and they were brilliant. Every single member of staff were knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our stay amazing. We chose the 5 Day Tremisana / Treehouse Safari which was wonderful especially the Treehouse as we saw giraffe elephant and antelope wandering free around the Accomodation. Every night there was a fire pit lit and it was so atmospheric to sit outside. We loved the whole experience and we saw rhino, buffalo, leopard, elephant and lion to name but five.

Stunning country with beautiful nature and wildlife
At the end of the dry season with an almost unreal landscape of dry savannah just getting green after a bit of rainfall we conducted a 5 day safari close to the Kruger National Park. It was a very special experience to see and experience the big five, as well as other animals, in their natural surroundings. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and eco-minded, taking care of the animals as well as of us. Our accommodation in a treehouse was absolutely beautiful and the food served as three course meals! outside was amazing.

uUnforgettable adventure vacation
We were positively surprised. So lucky to have seen so many free wild animals so close to us right on the first few days. In addition, very friendly people, great climate and good food.

A great travel experience
Trip started with the Big 5 in Kruger Park ( 3 days is recommended to get real value ) through Mzansi Experience which was extremely well organised and efficient, while experiencing very friendly people both staff and other visitors. This was followed by 2 weeks in Cape Town primarily for the Hockey Masters World Cup, but so much to see and visit on our free days - the waterfront felt extremely safe with vibrant atmosphere, fantastic sunsets, trip to Table Mountain a must for views , and many informative heritage sites to visit. Using Uber or recommended taxi service meant moving around the city was safe and quite cheap. Overall South Africa has to be on everyone's bucket list !
