Kruger is the definitive game park and there are other game reserves within the country.
What a country!
We had a wonderful visit in South Africa (Cape Town, Johannesburg, Kruger Park). Fantastic scenery and wildlife, great weather, excellent food and wine (particularly in Cape Town), rich culture, warm people...definitely worth returning and highly recommended!

Beautiful country and safari
I had a great time at my 5 days/4 nights safari in Kruger NP and Sabi Sands.
I saw the Big 5 several times which was amazing - each time. The record was 5 leopards in one game drive!
The camp and luxury tents were very nice and the staff and guides were awesome: good drivers, nice food (I loved the local SA food), informative game drives and fantastic service all the way through.
I can strongly recommend this trip to anyone - it's an experience for life!

South Africa is a destination rich in vegetation and wildlife. The conservation of species through parks and landscapes make it possible to propose an incredible destination.
(Of course, one must also look at the history of South Africa)
wonderful 3 nights
3 nights safari really well organized. Wonderful staff doing the best to meet the highest requirements.
Lodge at the highest level
Splendid South Africa Vacation
Me and my wife have never traveled to another country where everyone is always in a good mood and smiling all the time. From the moment we were picked up at our Hotel in J'Burg for our transfer to Kruger National Park, everyone is always smiling and eager to greet you; unlike Europe where we mostly travel. We went to South Africa foremost for a Safari adventure, and we received more than we expected. Wiring money overseas for something you have never done before would make everyone a little apprehentious, but our agent even gave us here personal cell number in case of any concerns. All payments were handled by a bank and all went smooth. The folks for our safari know why you are there - to see animals ! yes and they get you where the animals are. Though the guides at Kruger must stay on the road - we got some amazing photo's. A few days Later we transferred to Elephant Plains Game Lodge where it was 4-star luxury in the bush with fabulous food. The guides are allowed to go off road as it is private with the most fantastic photo's and video of our trip. Then me and my wife flew to Cape Town ( Camp's Bay ) for 7 nights. I highly recommend Camp's Bay for folks who want to spend a little more for being away from downtown, ocean front views, ease of walking distance to dine out, and all around safety while walking at night. The hop-on, hop off sightseeing bus stop was right in front of The Bay Hotel where we staying making it a convenient way to get downtown to V & A waterfront or to wine tasting region, Tabletop Mountain, monkey and bird exhibits. I decided not to rent a car there - don't forget they drive on the left side of the road down there !! Your US $'s do go far there too, making a splendid trip even more memorable. The weather is a Mediterranean climate and very pleasant. Fantastic time in South Africa.

Wildlife & scenic beauty mixed in a blend
Our trip to SA was hassle free. From booking till we departed it was easy convenient & satisfying. Primarily we went for wildlife & we saw all the big 5 just in the 4 hrs of drive through the jungles of kruger. I was a bit annoyed with our guide because he was not giving us much time to click pictures & he was rather interested in showing us as much animals as he can. He was right in his own way, but our trip was primarily a photographing the wildlife. But it was still ok for us because we spotted almost everything.
I thank staff of Safarbookings.com as well as staffs of the lodge Sabie river bush lodge who we very hospitable during our stay. Our safari guide was unique he made us spot many animals, special thanks yo him

I don't have enough time in other parks to rate them. In fact I haven't been to any of these listed below...yet. But we do love going to Mpumalanga province for vacation. The scenery is fantastic.

Amazing
The wildlife and accommodation were great. the personnel was always helpful and the chefs prepared some of the best dishes I had during my entire stay in SA. Guides really made a difference during the game drives and bush walk as they have a much better clue where to look for animals and other signs of wildlife. The reserve itself was very dry because of the lack of rain. This made spotting animals a lot easier, but it would have been nice if it had already rained so the landscape looks prettier. In general, they definitely surpassed my expectations and I can recommend them for a guided tour to Kruger.
