Amazing beautiful scenery, with wide variety of open spaces, and exotic animal life.

I would highly recommend South Africa as a travel destination. The people here are friendly, English is widely spoken, and costs of food is relatively low. The Kruger national park is amazing to visit, as well as Johannesburg. Cape Town is a very amazing city and I would highly recommend all first time visitors to Africa, to check it out.

Excellent trip in a stunning, exciting country

Spent a few days in Johannesburg - a city with an obviously troubled history, but I never felt anything other than welcomed. Tours of the city highlights and Soweto was intruiging and moving in equal measure - but never dull and the people were wonderful.
Five days on safari in Kruger National Park was nothing less than magnificent - animals in abundance and the guides find even the elusive species, even in the rainy season. Need to time it though, as rains flooded some of the park days after I left, so I was lucky. Stayed outside the park in the excellent Kruger Adventure Lodge at Hazyview - game drives from there with excellent guides. Panorama Tour also thrown in, and this was a stunning day touring spectacular coutryside outisde the park.
Then on to Cape Town, which was stunning and friendly, with great beaches (although water is very cold) and a busy, interesting town centre. An excellent day tour of Table Mountain, Boulders Beach and the pengiun colony there, ended
Read more at Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope - the traditional end of Africa, an incredible scenic and historic site which felt like the end of the known world. Simply amazing.
There is much more to see in South Africa than I covered, so don't limit your time there if you want to see it all!

The most incredible holiday destination. Weather was amazing, there is a wealth of natural beauty and such a variety of things to wonder at from the penguins at Boulders Beach to the stunning peninsula of the cape of Good hope, being chased in our car by the crazy baboons! Our mini safari was so much more than we anticipated and was well worth it, seeing a variety of wildlife for the first time. The sunsets were incredible on signal hill and the Winelands were just stunningly beautiful. Our apartment on the waterfront was incredible and we felt safe throughout our visit. The vibes at the V&A night and day were chilled, amazing food, great value and singing seals. We topped off our trip with a sobering visit to Robben Island which is a must. This was my second visit to Cape Town and I can’t wait to go again

My wife and I spent 3 days in Kruger. We saw the big 5.
The accomodation and food at the camp was excellent. The safari guide was knowledgeable about animals and plants. We visited Cape Town, Plettenberg Bay Swellendam and Hermanus, all well worth a visit.
Our trip was organised by Greatest Africa who took great care over all aspects of the visit.
