Amazing and beautiful country! One sentence could never capture all it has to offer ❤️
We were a group of 7. Our journey began with a 5 night safari through Khalanga Tours. Our guide, Shoes, was incredible. We went on a river cruise, and stayed in various campsites. This allowed us to experience the various landscaping, and thrill of seeing the big 5, and then some, in their natural habitat. We then travelled to Cape Town. A huge and diverse Metropolis, rich in history and culture. From there we booked wine tours, a walking “Taste of Africa”, where we experienced the foods from various African countries. We travelled to Cape of Good Hope and Simons town. Saw the penguin colony. With each tour we booked, the guides were knowledgeable, and eager to share the history and current progress of South Africa, the good and the bad. The landscape is breathtaking! The people are kind and friendly. I would highly recommend visiting South Africa. I fell in love with it ❤️

Our safari in South Africa was informative, and rewarding, all rolled into one fantastic trip.
Wild Planet Safari was our choice for the private, 9-day tour, which included a Panoramic scenic drive and 2 game drives per day. The animal viewing was spectacular. The Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center offered some animal viewing surprises and an informative education on the survival challenges for African wildlife. There were many opportunities for picking up that special momento of our trip at the lodges, town visits, or parking lot venues. While our group was over the age of 60. I recommend this trip to anyone who loves the outdoors, animals, and meeting people. And yes, bring the family.

Beautiful
My partner and I, along with 30+ other guests (wedding celebrations) booked a 2 night safari trip which was coordinated by Moafrika Tours. Everything was well organised and communicated well. We stayed at the Ivory Tree Lodge which was beautiful. We saw 4/5 of the big 5 almost every safari trip we took. It was great value for money- safaris, transport (which they adjusted timings in accordance with our flights), accomodation and all meals (delicious) included! Everyone had a fantastic time and some people are planning on returning too

Spectacular
I went on the Gems of Africa 3 day safari to inverdoorn and it was everything I imagined and more. The staff was attentive, the grounds and rooms were spotless, and the safari and guide was well informed and you could just tell how much he loved the wildlife and his job.

A wonderful country of contrasts and lovely people.
South Africa truly is a world in one country. The people are so hospitable and the food is wonderful and extremely generous. The wildlife has to be seen to be believed lions walking right by your jeep. Baby elephants being highly inquisitive. Life is very different when you get up at 5.00 am but you soon adapt. The weather in October was quite hot but we also experienced two phenomenal thunderstorms in the evening - spectacular. I can’t wait to go back for our fifth visit.

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
