South Africa benefits mainly from a variety of landscape (through mainly parks proposed which makes it really a great destination. Food is great too.

Does this really need an explanation? South Africa is awesome.

In my limited experience, I find that South Africa has good transportation infrastructure and management to easily get you to the camps, and then has the great facilities in private camps that make it possible to maximize the "bush vibe."

Wildlife was amazing in the game parks - we saw something like 35 species of mammal in our 3-week trip.
Scenic beauty was great as well, especially in Kruger, Hluhluwe, and the Drakensberg Mountains.
Birding was excellent - we saw over 300 species during our trip, mostly without hiring guides.

Everybody knows what a scenic country South Africa! What we didn't expect that many encounters with the people were as memorable as the wildlife! Can't wait to go back!

You are never more than a hour from a nature reserve.

South Africa has many game reserves and experiences to meet your desires. Ngala is a private game reserve where a smaller number of guests and experienced trackers and drivers can take you to what you want to see. I visited Ngala in 1998 and what a great experience of getting up close to leopards and lions. The bush vibe in private game reserves is a certain.

South Africa is really diverse from waterfalls and mountains to the national parks, wineries and warm oceans. I don't think you can experience such a variety in scenery in any other country. Weather is great and the temperature is normally quite warm (above 20'C). Food is lovely and water is drinkable.

As first-time safari-goers, South Africa was an excellent choice of destination for us. We got a taste of both luxury lodges and more 'earthy' accommodation, always with up-close wildlife experiences. We were treated to top-class hospitality all the way through. We booked and travelled with On Track Safaris and felt good about being in touch with local conservation efforts.
