I think you can't really do better than South Africa for a safari/wildlife viewing. It has all the wildlife and scenery you'll want to see, and generally better infrastructure (transportation, accomodation, etc) than most other African countries.

South Africa is a beautiful place with lots to see and do. I thought it felt very safe too as long as you were on the tourist trail. I would think twice before venturing out alone at night in town though.

Great destinations to visit very reasonable prices and the locals make it a friendly place.

We saw everything from African penguins to zebras. In addition to Kruger, we were in the Cape, which has fantastic scenery and fascinating plant life. Naturally, not all of South Africa has a "bush vibe" since it's got lots of cities and a big population, but you can get that vibe in the parks if you pick the right places.

The size of Kruger is huge, we asked our guide how long would it take to tour the park in total. The answer- THREE WEEKS!!!!

South Africa is a beautiful country in it's own right. From the barren Karoo and the Namibian desert sands to the beauty of the Low-veld and the Garden Route.
Beauty is what we create in an unbiased mind that does not compare the what it beholds to what it thinks it should behold.

Welcoming and great hospitality the South Africans know how to make your vacation one to remember.
I've rarely seen such a large variety of wildlife anywhere, except maybe Tanzania, and the country has a lot to offer in terms of landscape as well with the panoramic and garden routes. That being said this is one of the more developed and successful countries on the continent so if you're seeking zero other tourists this might not be exactly what you're looking for.
South Africa has such a diverse and colourful history and by far the destination of choice when it comes to vistas that are so breathtaking and majestic. One does not have to travel vast distances to see oceans crashing against the shores or sunkissed beaches, Table mountain with Cape Town nestled at her feet, Winelands with world class wines, Game parks with all the big five, and Mountain passes that meander through unspoilt beauty.

The wildlife in South Africa is second to none, and there are plenty of stunningly scenic spots around. It's difficult to describe, but I never imagined I'd see the numbers of (wild) animals I actually saw.
The bush vibe does lack a bit as it's tightly regulated around most of the parks other than for the unfenced ones, but ultimately this all depends on which places you visit.
