What a beautifully amazing and heart-lifting country to visit
Overall rating
5/5

South Africa was a life long wait to visit, but absolutely worth the wait. This country challenges your political and social beliefs in a good way; we spent our days divided between Durban and Johannesburg. A safari is on everyone's wish list and ours did NOT disappoint at all, while we didn't complete the check off of all the big 5, we managed 3 and heaps of them, plus many others as well. A visit to Soweto is probably even better, (if that's possible) than a safari and visiting the Apartheid, Mandela and Hector Petersen Museums was truely inspiring and educational and brought many memories of some of these events. WOW what a country.

Gorgeous country with a lovely culture
Overall rating
5/5

South Africa is a beautiful country with lots of mountains! The scenery was simply breathtaking. There were so many highlights in my trip.
1) food: fresh meat, fish and greens. Most of my meals were delicious and the friendly service staff made the whole dining experience unforgettable.
2) scenery: mountains and mountains and mountains everywhere. Every photo was insta-worthy.
3) local culture: the rich history and culture were beyond describable.
4) wildlife: Safari tour at Kruger National Park was exciting! Our tour operator, Elephant herd, was the best. Their guide, Trevor, was a fantastic spotter. Within 1h in the national park, we saw the big 4 already. He was so knowledgeable about all the animals’ and birds! Brandon coordinated and organized all our transport and itinerary at Kruger. Kudos for making our journey memorable.
5) safety: we were warned about the dangers in SA. Thankfully we didn’t encounter any. However, we did avoid going out at night. Didn’t venture into the slums. We ensured no belongings were visible in the rental car.
6) weather: rainy season. Some nights can get really cold and some afternoon were really hot.

SA is a country worth visiting. Must go destination.

A dream safari and a great value
Overall rating
5/5

I recently took a 4 day/3 night safari to Kruger National Park and the Greater Kruger with Safari Reinhardt. I cannot recommend the company or the destination highly enough. We had particular luck and saw all of the Big Five, but we also saw more elusive species like a cheetah. The accommodations were exceptional, with amazing food and hosts. Reinhardt, our guide, and his assistant tracker, Timba, were incredibly knowledgeable and adaptable to our small group. South Africa, as a country, is extremely interesting and beautiful. The people are very friendly, open, and caring. I often found myself having deep conversations with people I just met. I never felt unsafe. Transportation around the country was quick and efficient. I cannot recommend South Africa and especially Safari Reinhardt highly enough.

We had a great experience at Aquila. I would highly recommend the 2-night stay to anyone wanting to fit in a short safari while staying in Cape Town. The 2 night is necessary to have the full day of relaxation, hang at the lodge, lay out and the pool and chat with guests from other places, visit the spa, and overall unwind. I found the menu to be great for carnivores and vegans alike. Everything about South Africa made it an ideal travel destination and we hope to return.
