South Africa is beautiful. Cape Town is amazing but the Safaris in Sabi Sands will literally change your life.

The sheer range of options from upscale lodges to real bush camps, from the mountains to the desert and to the coast, and the full range of wildlife that can be found makes South Africa an amazing safari destination. The challenge is picking the places you cannot visit on a trip.

South Africa has all the animals and they are obviously pretty easy to see.

There are many ways to see them from 5+ Star resorts to more run of the mill camps.

My concern is that it seems in South Africa that the animals are somewhat contained especially on the numerous private reserves. That certainly makes them easy to see but you feel a little like they are corraled for human viewing - still fun but not totally 'natural'.

We are planning a safari to Tanzania and Kenya - places where the animals roam pretty freely and we are the ones who are fenced in.

The safari experience is great, but in South Africa you can combine it with the wonderful Cape area and enjoy so much more (beaches, wineries, etc.)

South Africa is easily reached from just about anywhere. Internal transportation is very well organized and efficient. It is also convenient to have a world class city like Cape Town to enjoy between safaris to recharge before heading back into the bush.
