Awesome combination of wild life in natural habitat, urban beauty and history!

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!

Everyone is so friendly in South Africa and there are so many amazing and beautiful places to see. I was so grateful to have seen so many animals roaming free through out the lands.

Great wildlife and scenery. Our 5 day safari trip was very well organized by Viva Safari and our guides were people from the bush and they were really keen to share their experiences and knowledges. The bush walk is a must do !

A fantastic place to see the "Big Five" and so much more.

We visited South Africa for a week-long safari with our two teenage sons, and had a fantastic time in Kruger and Hluhluwe National Parks, where we saw lots of the fantastic animals and birds - including some rare and unusual ones - that are found here. We stayed in a number of camps in both parks and were looked after incredibly well by Ryan and his team from Wild Planet Safari, who planned our entire itinerary and made a huge effort to find as many of those birds and animals for us to see as possible. We would definitely recommend South Africa as a holiday destination, and certainly hope to come back again one day soon, and definitely also recommend Wild Planet Safari for a guaranteed great safari trip.

One of the most welcoming, interesting and astonishing countries I have ever visited.

I would like to highlight three things about our safari experience. One of them is the bush walks we did. It is definitely the best way of getting to know bush life in an overall but also concrete way. You get deep knowledge apart from just the animals. The other highlight is the best decision we made: sleeping outside. That way you really feel "the african bush charm" under those stars and listening to the sounds of the bush (and SO comfy and warm!). The third highlight are obviously our guides. Elias, Minaz, Shanon, Nico and Rex from Tremisana Lodge made us learn SO MUCH and made us love the bush and want to become guides ourselves! doing that bushwalk the three of us with Elias was one of the most enriching experiences in my life. The only thing I didn't like was Reinick behaviour when the buffalos aproached us during the night, he was a lot more scared than we were!

Me and my wife had a great time at Kruger National Park. Saw lots of wild animals up close it was such a great feeling having lions about 10 feet from your vehicle steering at you. Everything from being picked from airport dropped to hotel and journey to Kruger Park and back to hotel went smooth.
blyde River Canyon was absolutely breath taking what a view was amazing. Weather was brilliant.
