Beautiful and Diverse
It’s hard to find a trip that can match what South Africa offers. It provides something for everyone from chasing the Big Five in Kruger to sipping wines in the Cape Winelands to cycling the Cape Peninsula.
We read a lot about safety in South Africa but we never felt unsafe at any time. We did an incredibly well organized tour to Kruger with MoAfrika but also toured on own in the Capetown area. Renting a car was easy and safe, much prefer driving in South Africa to let’s say Italy.
I can’t imagine a better climate than you will find in Capetown. Always sunny and never too hot. I found it to be a cross between the beauty of Vancouver, Canada and the wonderful climate of San Diego, USA. Kruger can be very hot so I would choose a cooler time of year to visit if that is a concern.

Incredible and one of a time experience
South Africa was a dream journey for a long time but once we landed we know why we waited for so long - simply to be blown away by the beauty of this country and its incredibly friendly people…nice food, nice scenery, amazing vibe!

Even better than I could ever imagine!
We had a family experience: my husband, my 11 years old son and I. South Africa is much better than great! We visited Johannesburg, than we drove to Kruger National Park and we had one of the best experiences in the Safari. We could see the Big 5 plus the Cheetah! People are amazing, very kind and gentle everywhere! We could eat zebra and crocodile meat (delicious)!!! The weather helped a lot, not too hot, despite it's summer time! Table Mountain (in Cape Town) was the best city! And Plettemberg the most beautiful and lovely! The wildlife, the landscape, the views... we'll never forget. Important to mention: we rented a car and it was very easy to park everywhere. And it was also very safe!

One of the best experiences of my life
I had never been interested in going on a safari, but once I decided to visit South Africa, it became a must-do on my list.
No regrets—it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Being so close to animals in their natural habitat was surreal.
Mo Afrika provided top-notch guides who were knowledgeable, efficient, and excellent at spotting wildlife. Thanks to them, I was able to see the Big Five in just two days in February.
I highly recommend this experience to everyone at least once in their lifetime!

Amazing experience, can't wait to go back!
I did not know what to expect when booking my 4-day safari adventure but this trip exceeded all expectations. We started the journey with a sunset safari and had the most amazing experience! We saw 4 of the big within 3 hours (lions - cubs and parents!, buffalo, rhino - mom and baby!, and a herd of elephants), plus so many more incredible animals and birds. The weather was beautiful during the day (low to mid 80s) and cool at night which made for a wonderful experience. The next day we spent all at Kruger National Park and were blown away by the sheer size and beauty. As far as you could see was just wide open spaces and you truly could feel how wild the area is. We saw many more animals on this journey (hippos, lions, cheetah!) and got to see them move in their natural patterns and habitat. It was incredible. Day three we did a scenic drive and, again, WOW! We went God's Window, it was short (15 minute) hike up to the top and the view was beyond worth it. On a clear day you can see the border of Mozambique! We also we went to the potholes and to see 2 waterfalls! On our last day we opted in to the sunrise tour and were in awe yet again. We chased lion foot prints all over a the private reserve until we finally caught up with 2 male lions enjoying their morning nap. To be that up and close and personal with these beatiful creatures was beyond my wildest dreams (pun intended). Everyone we met were so friendly and so eager to share their culture and their country with us. We were just so greatful for their incredible hospitality and sharing everything their country had to offer. I cannot wait to go back again and experenience even more of South Africa!

Unforgettable trip in a beautiful country
We did the safari from Hoedspruit (South Africa). The nearby game reserves were very interesting and offered plenty of opportunities to see the Big Five. Keep in mind that it’s unlikely you’ll see all the animals on a single game drive. The rangers do everything they can to show you as many animals as possible, but sometimes you also need a bit of luck. Remeber that It’s still the wild, not a zoo. We did two or tree drives per day, which was necessary to spot a lot of wildlife. We also did a day trip to Kruger National Park with a guide. Highly recommended not to go on your own, as guides share information with each other about the best spots to see wildlife.
In the end, we saw a lot of animals in four full days. Except for the rhino, we spotted the entire Big Five. But even without the animals, the surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful.
The safari was organized by Shinzelle Safari’s, and they were truly amazing. Everything was well arranged, with excellent communication. Highly recommended!

First trip to South Africa
First trip to South Africa, blown away by this beautiful and diverse country. Visited Cape Town, Franschhoek and Kruger, this was the perfect mix for us. Did our own thing in Cape Town using a hire car and Airbnb in Clifton, visiting cape point, Table Mountain, boulder beach and Constantia Glen vineyard, all fabulous. Then on to Franschhoek, another stunning Airbnb, the vineyards and many wine tastings didn’t disappoint. Then on to Kruger, we booked Hoyo Hoyo with Safari.com, flew to Hoedspruit and we were met at the airport, Hoyo Hoyo was perfect, we stayed for 3 nights, they looked after us so well, we saw almost all the animals it was definitely the highlight of the trip. Trip of a lifetime, thank you South Africa.

Beautiful country with lovely people
We loved Mdluli safari lodge resort and our package of four days safari. Everything was included except for the drinks which was smooth. The weather was good, pretty hot though and the bushes were pretty densed. So it was a little harder to see the animals, but we saw the big five and a lot more animals. Would love to go back some day!
