Great trip, would go again!
Wonderful visit, great accommodation, excellent and knowledgable guides.
S. Africa for Animal tour, a feast for the senses.
My wife and I visited S.A. principally to see wildlife. We sought a tour via the offices of Safari Tours, who on knowing our goals, came up with a list of providers, three of whom caught our interest, one subsequently was selected. Safari made sure that we had appropriate replies from the operators chosen, & were most professional about the whole process.....they do a great job!
The weather was great, a relatively mild winter..only needed to bundle up in the early morning/late evening. The guides were fully committed to our seeing all that was possible. The food on the whole was adequate, but limited.Transport was well done, though it is as well to note that travelling from Jo'berg to Kruger takes a half day in one direction, & a full day in the other, so book something that will give you adequate time in the park. Having only two passengers on the tour helped to ensure that we missed nothing. The real highlight was seeing the "Big Five" on two consecutive days, & four of them on the third...(uncooperative rhino!) The whole trip rated among the best we had ever done!!
Awesome combination of wild life in natural habitat, urban beauty and history!
Kruger national park is a beautiful, huge game reserve. No fences for miles in one of the world's largest national park.
Staying inside the park is an amazing experience. You can see the wild life at your door step.
Cape Town is one of the most scenic cities in the world. Go to Cape Town for all kinds of adventure activities including hiking the Table Top mountain and shark cage diving.

Amazing biodiversity
We had a wonderful Safari experience. 5 star accommodations with every detail. We saw the big 5 three times and some rare sights - lions on a kill, cheetah, leopard cubs, and more. Our guides were excellent and the whole team did a great job of making our stay one to remember.
South Africa in the heart
This year with my friends we decided to spend our holidays in South Africa and I can say we made the perfect choice! Do not miss a travel there! We loved everything, but above all we enjoied our tour in Kruger National Park. We joined a tour with Wild Planet Safari and we absolutely recommend it! We had two perfect guides with us and they were really great in recognizing the animals among the bush. Not only, they have cooked for us, they were always available to answer to our questions, they were nice, thwy were professional, they represented the added value to an already great experience!

Beautiful.
Everyone is so friendly in South Africa and there are so many amazing and beautiful places to see. I was so grateful to have seen so many animals roaming free through out the lands.

Amazing destination
Great wildlife and scenery. Our 5 day safari trip was very well organized by Viva Safari and our guides were people from the bush and they were really keen to share their experiences and knowledges. The bush walk is a must do !

A fantastic place to see the "Big Five" and so much more.
We visited South Africa for a week-long safari with our two teenage sons, and had a fantastic time in Kruger and Hluhluwe National Parks, where we saw lots of the fantastic animals and birds - including some rare and unusual ones - that are found here. We stayed in a number of camps in both parks and were looked after incredibly well by Ryan and his team from Wild Planet Safari, who planned our entire itinerary and made a huge effort to find as many of those birds and animals for us to see as possible. We would definitely recommend South Africa as a holiday destination, and certainly hope to come back again one day soon, and definitely also recommend Wild Planet Safari for a guaranteed great safari trip.
