South Africa was our family dream trip. Seeing the animals in their natural environment while on the safari was the highlight of our trip. It was very majestic. But everywhere you ride in South Africa from Johannesburg to Kruger to Cape Town all you see is vast and beautiful scenery all around. It also has a great deal of diversity among the people there. Beautiful mountains, canyons with rivers/streams, waterfalls, etc. I recommend that everybody comes at least once in their lifetime if they can.

One of the best trips EVER!

Kruger National Park was amazing. We did a sunset drive and an all day drive and saw SO many animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, a leopard, baboons, warthogs. It truly is an incredible experience to see the animals in their element like that, and it's even more fun for it to be a surprise about what animals you will end up seeing. Norman was amazingly accommodating, and made everything easy, including travel to and from Johannesburg, booking our hotel and game drives and telling us about the people and culture of South Africa. This trip was life changing, and I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing so!

South Africa offers a blend of extraordinary wildlife, scenic beauty, and sophisticated urban life.
Overall rating
5/5

We had never visited South Africa. and so, with just one week available in our itinerary, we crammed in visits to Johannesburg, Kruger National Park, and Cape Town. While we enjoyed Cape Town's ambiance, highlight for us was Kruger, a beautiful and exceptionally well maintained park that compares favorably to U.S. national parks we have visited. Thanks to our expert private guide from Wild Planet Safari, we were able to see an extraordinary variety of wildlife in just two full days. One week was clearly not enough to appreciate all that South Africa has to offer, but we felt our program was ideal for visitors whose time is similarly limited.

The review below is the personal opinion of Elizabeth and not that of SafariBookings.
The corrupt leadership of the country and the disparity between classes is heartbreaking.

3/5

The most beautiful part of the trip was taking the panoramic scenic route from Johannesburg to Kruger national Park. Kruger was awesome and we saw all of the big 5. Cape Town is a fantastic city and is a cross between Sydney, Australia, and San Francisco, California. We especially enjoyed the V & A waterfront. We would highly recommend the hop on hop off bus to get a feel for where you want to return to.

I give this trip a big 5 stars' really love the country, the people there are very friendly. I also really love the views and especially the animals. I had a great experience and I was very near the animals. The weather was really good because its not too hot or too cold.

We had an incredible time on our visit. Stanley was incredibly helpful and flexible when working with us to ensure we had the best Safari trip planned. We stayed at the Simbavati River Lodge and were blown away by the hospitality, organization, and all the wildlife that the lodge and the entire area provided. We would highly recommend working with this group again!
