You must see Kruger n.p.
Overall rating
5/5

We spent half of december and half of january in South Africa.
5 days in Kruger whith a guide: It is posible go there on you own, but if you want to see any cats, I recomend to you to get a guide.(without guide I could not see lion on 50m)
It is huge place and without a guide you need month to see it.
7 days in Dragon mountains: We hired a car (small toyota) and traveled mountains on our own. It was easy. Not much trafic in highways and local roads are in good shape. Only to get to car park up to Witieshoeck we used local shuttle.
Cape town 7 days: Easy with hired car (vw polo).
To trawel between Johanesburg, Cape town and Durban it is cheep and easy to take flight.

My experience in South Africa was fantastic, from the booking with Viva Safari, the flights, to our stay at Tremisana Lodge. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Patrícia Landau, who was incredibly helpful and answered all our questions about the lodge and everything the safari had to offer. I would also like to express my gratitude to the entire Tremisana Safari team. We were warmly welcomed, and everyone went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. We were able to see all the Big 5, and despite the intense heat, the experience was truly incredible!

A visit to South Africa is a a wonderful way to windup a Cruise. It has adventure, scenery, history and of course wildlife.
The welcome is genuine and hospitality reasonably priced.

Mont Eco Game Reserve Safari
Overall rating
5/5

The place exceeded our expectations by far and so did the service and the food. The team was very friendly and helpful.

The Safari tours were wonderful. Our guide was very very knowledgeable. We have seen the Big 5 and much more.

We all heartedly recommend the place and will go back in the coming years.

Shocking, in that this level of beauty should be more well-known to the world
Overall rating
5/5

My first time to Africa, South or otherwise, and I was honestly stunned about the enormous beauty of the place. The Safari was top-notch - the only regret being that i could not tip the driver since i didn’t get to an ATM in time. He didn’t demand anything, but i felt very bad not giving anything since his performance was outstanding. He had not only in-depth knowledge about everything going on in the park, but also very good humor and an almost eerie talent for languages - he could say wild boar in both Chinese and Hebrew, two languages I happen to speak well - and was really a fun person to spend an afternoon with.

There were a couple of organizational hiccups in the beginning, but the agency sorted them out most satisfactory. In case your Yekke or German like me: Relax. In my two weeks in SA things consistently turned out to be much different than planned for, but always well. Just go with the flow!

An amazing country with so much to see and do.
Overall rating
5/5

The tour I went on was fantastic, from the rooms we stayed in, to the safari guide that explained the wildlife in Kruger, to the breathtaking panoramic view from the tops of the hills and mountains...Safari Bookings lives up to its reputation, and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to go on a wildlife Safari in Africa to use Safari bookings to plan your trip.

We had an amazing couple of days in Kruger National Park which was one of many highlights of our incredible 10 days in South Africa. Great food, drink, climate, scenery, hospitality and people.

Many game parks on offer, large wild animals to see. Best choice are private game parks!
