Amazing!
We started in Cape Town -- vibrant and lively city and amazing trip to the wine country. Then we went for a safari experience from Cape Town -- as it was our first experience with wild animals - we choose to play it safe and selected a private park - Aquila Private Game Reserve - with all comfort and safe experience. It was a wonderful experience - we saw all the animals that we were promised, the accommodation was wonderful (beautiful bungalow), great staff and wonderful spa.
Then we travelled to Durban - interesting and beautiful.
One of the things that surprised me the most was the nature - such colors and vegetation.
Excellent quality food and drink -- very friendly people.

South Africa was absolutely breathtaking!
The experience was breathtaking from the moment we landed at the lodge, seeing all the big 5 animals and more within less than 24 hours. The service was exceptional, weather was great as it was chilly in the morning and evening but hot during the day. We felt safe and were with guides with 20+ years of experience. Safari Bookings did a great job of providing a detailed itinerary and was quick to respond.

A COUNTRY OF HUGE CONTRASTS
We were only in Jo'burg, so I can't comment on all of S.Africa. We were staying in Sandton - total luxury everywhere you looked - the cars, the buildings, the malls. We did a trip on the Green bus route around the area where Mandela lived latterly. Wow.. However the houses are all locked in behind high walls, electrical fences, security. We were strongly advised against going out on our own - our hotel had a shuttle bus to the mall and convention centre. There is security everywhere however. We did a day trip to Pilansberg reserve. Very enjoyable with a very knowledgeable guide - plenty of elephants with babies and a rhino with her baby too. We saw a lot of plains game and also the birdlife was lovely. On our final day after the Expo that we were attending, we went to Soweto and the Apartheid museum. Well worth the visit.

Real wild experience
We were very lucky, thanks to our guides, because in two days we saw all kind of wild animals (big 5) and birds in Krugers National Park. The sxenery was absolutely perfect and the game very interesting and surprising. Our guides explained everything and search to find all kind of animals. The food was delicious and the weather very good so not to suffer from high temperatures.

Great safari experience
Three weeks in South Africa - had a great time spending 10 days in Capetown and Paarl before driving up to Port Elizabeth. Fantastic trip with everything packing in - from township visit to safari - we saw, learnt and experienced a lot.
First time safari-ers, found the prospect of choosing pretty daunting but found this site excellent in sorting out priorities. We settled on Pembury Tours who were brilliant to work with - they understood the brief and went through some options until we were sorted. Ended up going to 2 camps - Sabi Sands and Timbivati - which was great advice as we got two different but equally enjoyable experiences (Arathusa and Umlani). The hospitality and organisation was unbelievable.
Totally recommend visiting - yes you do need to be careful and the power cuts are annoying - but probably one of the best trips we have had.
