We visited port Elizabeth and Capetown on a cruise. These were modern cities with great facilities restaurants and tours. Felt very safe at all times. All expenses were very reasonable.
Climate on our trip was excellent. Not too hot.

We loved this safari so much! Everything was organized perfectly and we had the best time. We can recommend this so much! Our highlight was the tour in the private game reserve and the hotel.

Why have I not visited South Africa before? I’m not sure but I’m glad I finally did! Such an impressive beautiful country full of beautiful people with so much to see and do. My 10 day visit to Cape Town and the Cape province was short but I managed to pack in winery visits in Stellenbosch, Elgin and Franschhoek, a two day visit to a private game reserve and a few days in Cape Town including a trip to the top of Table Mountain. Great food and wine. All very cost effective. The exchange rate helps.
So many more things to do and see. Will be back soon.

I honestly didn't imagine that South Africa was so beautiful! Kruger Park was a great experience for the whole family! The landscapes are spectacular! The people we met were truly exceptional and above all very kind to us.

We drove from JNB to Hazyview, from there we wanted to see the Panoramic route , however the weather was not helping us . We only saw Bourky's luck potholes. We need to change our plans and spend a whole day in Krugerpark, although it was rainy weather we had a wonderful time. We had booked 3 days in Sabi Sands in Umkumbe Safari Lodge, to go with rangers two times a day on safari and they share all there knowledge is an incredible experience.
After that we flew to Capetown, the city is surrounded by beautiful nature, the food is great. Lovely markets to visit. South Africa has so much to offer!
South Africa i will come back

South Africa is a beautiful country for a holiday
Overall rating
5/5

For wildlife, Kruger Park is highly recommended. Private game drives (such as at Tomo Lodge) are also highly recommended. With an expert guide, you can see the Big Five; and many other animals. You can eat delicious food in South Africa - the prices in restaurants are relatively low. People are generally friendly. However, there are areas that you should not visit as a tourist, because you may become a victim of crime. The use of trains and buses is also not recommended.
