The country that will remain in my heart

5 / 5 5 /5

South Africa has always been in my mind and in particular to enjoy the view of free animals in the savannah or bush. I was able to give myself this gift for my 60th birthday and I’m happy that I did! The trip both in the area of Cape Town, along the Garden route and finally with Viva safaris in the Kruger park turned out what I expected: a wonder! Thanks to South Africa, to those who live and work there.

I loved Cape Town as it was a wonderful city with delicious food. I personally didn’t experience feeling unsafe, but definitely be aware of the areas you’re in. Kruger was great as well for a short safari as it gives you great chances to see the big 5. I would highly recommend traveling to Cape Town to anybody, especially foodies

I love South Africa
It’s a colorful country, most places are very safe, because of all the security organizations around.
The food and restaurants are very good and and affordable.
People are helpful and very friendly. They look like they enjoy life.
We went to the Kruger park for 3 days and had a great time.
We live in Mauritius and we were just surprised that early in the morning and evening the weather is much colder than in the country we live, but during the day it was very nice weather.

We had a great time in Capetown, and the most fantastic safari experience in Tremisana Lodge by Viva Safari. Saw all the big 5 and lots of other animals and we saw a leopard driving by the water hole 10 ft away from our 4x4 on our last morning drive and then even a cheetah on our way out . We were also taken to The Blyde Canyon which is so beautiful. South Africa is a very blessed country with good food, good wine all reasonably inexpensive . If you love animals and nature this is the perfect destination.

MoAfrika provided an Excellent 4 day safari package where we managed to see 4 of the big 5 in game reserves & Kruger National Park
We spent time in both Johannesburg & Capetown learning about the history of South Africa and living through Apartheid
We also visiting the Cape of Good Hope along with Table Mountain & other National Parks
We also had great wildlife adventures at a cheetah outreach & lovely wine tasting at Ernie Els vineyard in Stellenbosch
Would highly recommend visiting this diverse country

Our Rainbow Nation Destination

5 / 5 5 /5

Cape Town was wonderful. We had great weather and our air B and B apartment at Docklands was exceptional. We had a fabulous day at the V and A waterfront and a trip up Table Mountain with stunning views. We did a lovely Peninsula drive from CT to Boulders Bay with our driver Jimmy who was so knowledgeable about the area. We then flew to Johannesburg and had a safari trip to the Pilanesburg with MoAfrika. Sibusiko, our driver who collected us from the Holiday Inn at OR Tambo was really friendly and looked after us until we were able to check in to our accommodation at Bakubung in the Pilanesburg Game Reserve. From then Bakubung took over our game drives which we thought was a bit odd as we had paid and expected MoAfrika to take us into the park. We felt young children and their families should be kept separate from other adults wanting to get closer to the animals. There was an issue with one family not wanting to get closer than 200 yards from an elephant because they had young children
Read more on the vehicle which spoilt it for the rest of us. The weather was rainy and miserable which did put a dampener on the game viewing. We will certainly have another trip to the Cape and other SA destinations in the future and I would recommend anyone to have a holiday in South Africa as it is such good value for money to overseas visitors and the people are great.
