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.

An amazing once in a life must do, there’s something for everyone and so diverse, exceptional.
Surprisingly, everything is relatively nearby in the Western Cape making sightseeing and getting around easy. The sightseeing bus is great value and it’s worth hiring a car too. Stick to the main routes and you’re fine. Very welcoming and family friendly, with loads of options every day. We will be going again - the food is amazing too!

Unique unto itself.
My group loved our stay at HoyoHoyo Lodge. All the staff were gracious and friendly and our Safari Guide, Hali Mnisi was extremely knowledgeable about the reserve, the animals and birds. We were blessed by his vast knowledge and experience as a tracker and guide. The food was diverse (kudu, oxtail, ostrich) and delicious. We were very pampered.

Diverse animals and landscape with welcoming people
South Africa has some of the most diverse landscapes and terrain I've ever seen and surprised me with how much was familiar compared with how much I did not expect to see. Lots of animals to see with lots of opportunities to see them up close, far away, and in their natural environment.
