In the northern part of the country, we stayed with a friend on a private game reserve and were able to see the local wildlife up really close (incl. antelope, zebra and giraffe). We also visited another private game reserve a few kilometers away where we were driven all over in an open topped truck. That was a lot of fun. There was a lot of wildlife in some very beautiful countryside.
The southern coast is also stunningly beautiful and you'll see plenty of wildlife there as well.
We like to visit several parts of a country with our own (rented) car. In South Africa you can drive to every safari park you 'd like to see. In most of the parks you can drive in your own car, or book a game drive with a ranger.

South - Africa is a great safari destination because you will find all that you are looking for in the country. From open savana, bushvelt or thick woodlands in Knysna. The people are friendly and the climate is pleasant.

The only reason for not making higher ratings is that this Reserve is on a smaller scale than the ones I have seen on TV.

The Personal Touch, friendliness of the Guide and general atmosphere, this was part of a rather 'touristy' package deal, so just the safari at Umfolozi on the one day but if I was able, I would definitely return with this game reserve as my choice for a longer visit.
South Africa is my favorite destination I have ever been to. I have no other safari experiences to compare it to, but it exceeded my expectations at every step of the way.

South Africa has the exotic vibe of the african continent, yet the all the conveniences you'd find in any developed country.
