South Africa is a beautiful, friendly, country that has something for everyone. Although I have not experienced Safaris elsewhere, South Africa seems to have all the animals anyone would want to see (penguins included!). I'm not a birder so I'm fairly unsure as to what the variety is although the lilac breasted roller is the most beautiful bird I've ever seen.

South Africa is unlike any place I've ever been. It is beautiful in a way I never imagined. I came away with a greater appreciation for its variety of wildlife and how important it is to protect these animals in their environment.

The wildlife I saw exceeded my expectations and the Veldt is beautiful. The area we were in at Idube had a great 'Bush Vibe' with its off road tracking and drives. There was less bird life about than I expected in July.

We return every year to South Africa, it has spectacular scenery and the hospitality is amazing, no to mention the Safari experience!

Our guide was kind and well informed, pointing out all the hidden treasures of Zulu Nyala.

For an American, South Africa exceeded all of our expectations. The wine country near Cape Town was very scenic and friendly.

South Africa is a gorgeous country with rich history and friendly people. The only downside to south africa is their car watchers in bigger cities like Cape Town. They are extremely aggressive and often times, demanding of tips. It became annoying having to deal with someone who would "watch" your car while you ran into the store and then have to tip them for fear they would become angry/hurt you.

South Africa has a world in one. They have a vast park system that is accessible, well maintained, well provisioned, and friendly. SA is especially good for the first time visiter to Africa.

I have travelled many thousands of kilometres across Southern Africa and visited numerous game and nature reserves. Each region has it's own beauty and diversity. From whale watching to mountain hiking, to desert and the big five.
Enjoy your holiday :)
