One of the most diverse beautiful countries I have ever visited
The scenery is out of this world , from the beautiful beaches, Table Mountain, Botanical gardens, Boulders beach, Wine country, garden route, Safari in Kruger. each experience was unique and highly recommended. Cape Town itself was a very cosmopolitan area with some of the best restaurants and food I have tasted.
On top of all of this you get so much more for your money! We will be back!

A safari is a must when in South Africa

a fantastic time. We stayed 3 days 2 nights which was enough perhaps because Gareth enabled us to see the elephants leopards buffalo lions and cubs giraffes jackals hippos impala’s masses of different bird species and most importantly we did not have to queue at any time to watch the animals in their natural environment. Gareth was also very mindful of the environment we were in and took care not to intrude on the animals

Destination of Beauty and Despair
Cape Town has the stunning backdrop of Table Mountain against the blue sky, the beautiful Company Gardens and Kirstenbosch Botannical Gardens. The new V&A Waterfront is a pleasant and safe place to dine but could be anywhere.
The Robben Island tour left a lasting impression but could have been more dynamic
On the streets, the poverty and despair of the poor is plain to see. The highway out to the winery areas of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek is flanked by huge townships and morning and evening becomes a “snake” of overfilled minibuses as the residents commute to work.
The wineries area then feels obscenely decadent. The towns and surrounding area is charming. The tastings are great value and each winery normally has more than just wine on offer e.g gardens to explore, art exhibitions
We went on a 3 day quickie safari in the Kruger National Park. Surpassed

all our expectations, in part due to our Wild Wings guide’s superb knowledge of the animal/bird habitats and habits.We would love to return to South Africa again in the future to do another safari and explore the Garden Route. The people we met everywhere were delightful, food and wine were always delicious and great value for money. The weather and flowers were beautiful in October

A bucket list trip!
Flew into Joberg and took a transfer(by van) to greater Kruger. Saw everything we wanted to, and more!! It’s spring there so although it was brown, it made it easier to see the animals. Cool at night, warm during the day.
Safari for 6 nights 7 days was more than enough. I would recommend maybe only 4-5 nights max. We didn’t spend anytime in Joberg due to safety recommendations. Then flew to Cape Town. Spent 5 nights there. Beautiful city, great hiking, wine country close, lots to do!
It does get a bit sketch at night so try and see everything during the daylight hours. Time of year we went was perfect. Not too hot or cold. Layers were good.

Beautiful
I'm a 25yo woman and I stayed at the Kruger Adventure Lodge solo. I choose the 5 day 4 night package. Given that it was located outside the park, I was impressed by the amount of wildlife we got to see. The lodge itself was great, it had a very intimate feel and I got to know the other travelers and staff throughout my stay.

Everything was absolutely amazing, from start to finish!
An absolutely superb experience at an affordable price! I’d like to extend my thanks to Zelda from Mzansi for her excellent guidance and assistance in planning our trip. Victor, our driver from Safari Link, was incredibly informative and ensured we had a smooth and memorable road trip from OR Tambo Airport to Kruger National Park. The accommodation at Kruger Adventure Lodge was top-notch, with delicious food and a fantastic team of staff! We booked a 5-day Kruger Safari, and each day brought unforgettable moments. Despite the weather, we were fortunate enough to see all the Big Five and even the 'Ugly Five,' thanks to our experienced rangers. I highly recommend this amazing team for anyone looking to experience the magic of Kruger National Park!

Great experience and lucky with animals in Klaserie Reserve
Can really recommend the Panorama Route, Oliver's Boutique Hotel, Elephant Whispers, Seronera Croc Farm & the very nice Simbavati Waterside Lodge for Parents with Teens, as they have a Villa with 2 Bedrooms, excellent personal service and cool game drives.

Nice mix of rural and cosmopolitan beauty especially in Capetown
Booked with Safari Life and had a wonderful experience. I was a little concerned about the transportation connection as there were no direct transfers from Johannesburg to the Umkumbe Lodge in Sabi Sands but it went very smoothly both ways and the wildlife was amazing--most of which we were able to see from the privacy of our back deck. Everything looked very natural from the rhinos we saw in the bush to the monkeys that came down from the trees to steal sugar off our table. The luxurious lodging gave us the best of both worlds enjoying a nice swim or massage when not out on game drives and we even found a leopard. Leopards are the hardest of the Big 5 animals to find because they are solitary animals that hang out in the trees. Wonderful experience with excellent food that the host was able to tailor to any dietary restrictions for any individual.
