Kruger is the definitive game park and there are other game reserves within the country.

A beautiful connection between people, wildlife and nature. Botswana is a well protected jewel!

The travel was well organized and all transitions went smooth and on time. The wildlife is stunning so is the nature. The guides were all extremely knowledgeable. Highlight was the Chobe National Park, during dry season a large variety of animals come together. We loved the boat tour. After that we flew into the Okavango Delta, very different experience the vegetation is different and the jeeps are allowed to leave the tracks and go deep into the bush to trace down cats. We loved it.My personal highlight was the walking Safari as it's the missing piece between game viewing and the story on nature and it's symbiosis. The stories were jaw dropping and teach you respect and admiration for Mother Nature and it's natural balance.

Our safari with Armadillo Overland Tours was fantastic, our guide Morris was knowledgeable and an excellent spotter and excellent cook. We saw the big 5 plus an amazing array of other animals in the Kruger Park - cheetah, hyena, warthog, giraffe, zebra, jackal, hippo, crocodile plus all kinds of birds. The accommodation at the camps within the park was rustic (as we were on a budget safari) but perfectly adequate. The shops and facilities within the Kruger are first rate. The weather was perfect as it was not too hot as it was spring time. The lorry/truct that Armadillo use is great as you have a very good view being so high up - it is useful to be able to recharge your phone/camera battery whilst driving around plus have access to a toilet/tea coffee making facilities on board.

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
Read more days, & four of them on the third...(uncooperative rhino!) The whole trip rated among the best we had ever done!!

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.

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.

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!
