Viva Safaris
We had the most amazing five day safari in Kruger National Park with my family that included two teenagers. We booked through Viva Safaris on our own and they picked us up in Johannesburg. We saw the big five and so much more. All of the employees were kind and wonderful. Our villa was well appointed and clean. Just loved every minute of this well organized safari and meeting people from all over the world.

Troubled paradise of mind-boggling cultural wealth
I went to Cape Town on a business trip in the middle of winter, but I tried to squeeze as much sightseeing in as possible, through organised trips I booked in advance. Yes, you can see the Big Five in a weekend trip from Cape Town! My highlights: birdwatching; hiking in the Table Mountain national park; Kirstenbosch Gardens (yes, even in the dead of winter); delicious wine; rainbows every day; Big Five mini-safari just outside Cape Town; the netball world cup; gorgeous Cape landsape; Zeitz-Mocca museum for contemporary African art (I saw the exhibition "when we see us"). I will be back!

The best experience of my life, full of magical moments, beautiful animals and incredible people.
South Africa was the ultimate holiday destination and gave us the most perfect safari experience. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in a private park in Greater Kruger and loved every second of our trip. We visited the Three Rondavels and did a boat trip on the Blyde River which I would also recommend.

Wonderful wildlife
My advice: combine a stay in a private game reserve, where drivers can go off road, and the Kruger Park, with its gorgeous wildlife.
Once in a lifetime experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We did a 5 day safari trip 2 days in Kruger and 3 nights on a private reserve at Umkumbe. Both were great. We stayed at Sabie River Bush lodge for the first 2 nights as a base for Kruger and although a little rougher around the edges, it's right on the river with a herd of hippos right at your doorstep. We were lucky enough to see them come right to the fence along with a herd of elephants. That made it all worthwhile. We saw lots of animals inside Kruger including cheetas up close, which are apparently rare to see. Umkumbe was much more upmarket and I recommend getting one of their luxury tents. The focus here was all about trying to spot a leopard, which sadly we didn't but we saw some rhinos, hyenas, lions and ostriches. I recommend both going into Kruger and doing a private game reserve as they're two totally different experiences. Brendon from Elephant Herd was really accommodating and didn't mind me emailing him with questions while we were travelling. I would also recommend flying to and from Johannesburg as the bus drive out was quite long.

Fantastic Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day safari in Sabi Sands. Beautiful lodges, fantastic staff and of course seeing all of the animals, the Big 5 and so many more! This was a bucket list trip for my partner who will be turning 70 and it couldn't have been any more perfect.
