South Africa covers a wide geography with extremely diverse ecosytems and unspoiled natural beauty, ranging from Desert to sub-tropical and everything in between. There are an abundance of wildlife reserves across all of these differing ecologies catering to every type of nature enthusiast.

For all the same reasons listed above. It is a wonderful location. Being such a large country, two weeks was hardly enough to experience its beauty. I look forward to a return trip.

Facilities in South African parks are great and the diversity of wildlife is superb.

Very good views of a number of mammals, especially leopards, elephants and white rhino but fewer bird species than expected. This could have been due to the very dry months prior to our visit with rains only beginning a day or two before our arrival. During the course of our stay the bush started to turn green so I can imagine that the scenic beauty will be much better in the weeks and months to come.

It was the only safari I've ever been on, so I don't have anything to compare it to. However, for a first time, it was wonderful.
Lots of animals & birds to sight in their natural habitat. The bush has a certain unique beauty about it but the drought had dried up a lot of creek beds & vegetation. It's exciting to witness wild animals in the wild - almost surreal at times.
You probably don't get the wilderness experience you would get elsewhere - unless you go for the smaller lodges & private concessions.

There were beautiful birds everywhere and we wished we were more knowledgeable about them.
