South Africa has some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. The people were incredibly warm and welcoming.

South Africa has the exotic vibe of the african continent, yet the all the conveniences you'd find in any developed country.

South Africa is my favorite destination I have ever been to. I have no other safari experiences to compare it to, but it exceeded my expectations at every step of the way.

Kruger park doesn't have the same bush ibe as e.g. camping in Moremi or Chobe in Botswana because it is so easy to self drive. But it does have a lot of great wildlife (which can also be a challenge to see because of the thick scrub. I really loved combining the safari element with other wildlife activities such as diving (Mozambique), birding (e.g. penguins at Betty's bay and pelagic seabirds), whale watching (hermanus), sightseeing (Blyde river and Cape town) and shark diving around the cape.

The Personal Touch, friendliness of the Guide and general atmosphere, this was part of a rather 'touristy' package deal, so just the safari at Umfolozi on the one day but if I was able, I would definitely return with this game reserve as my choice for a longer visit.

We spent a month in Kwazululand - camped at False Bay for a few days - found the birds and general wildlife (not so much the big game animals) something that I hadnt expected. Marvelous varieties and quantities of species or birds, lizards, plants (only dead snakes thanks!)
