Wonderful experience
Overall rating
5/5

We stayed in the Tangala safari camp as part of a trip organised by Wayfairer travel. The safari was the first part of our trip to South Africa (before we went to Cape Town and Hermanus). The safari was the highlight of the trip with great sightings of the Big 5 but overall the trip was fab. It felt like 3 very different trips in one holiday and each part of the holiday was wonderful

SA is a country to visit for but unsafe though.For tourists and for me personally is a huge issue to travel and feel safe smth that was missed there. Cape Town is a beautiful city and Kruger park a great safari experience.

July is winter in South Africa, but the days were absolutely beautiful, and the cooler nights were crisp and calming. We were only in Johannesburg and Pretoria, and I would love to go back to see the rest of South Africa! I cannot recommend Safari Bookings website enough - they had great communication and made sure we were connecting with the tour offices we had booked. I also cannot recommend MMilo Tours enough! We had a pleasant 2.5 hour ride to our destination with the best driver who went out of his way to find us a Starbucks so we could take home a mug! Our tour turned out to be so much more than we expected. Beautiful experience seeing all the wildlife with a most knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. Fantastic trip! I hope I get to visit South Africa again!

Amazing Experience with lots of Wildlife
Overall rating
5/5

My wife and I had a wonderful experience in South Africa. We saw far more wild animals than we were expecting. The Panorama View tour we did saw incredible! South Africa has some of the best scenery I have ever experienced. We saw so much of the wildlife we had hoped to see as well. From leopards to lions, elephants, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, and more. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend South Africa to anyone else, and will hopefully be able to return myself at some point!

Tourico Vacations "Loves South Africa"
Overall rating
5/5

Planning a South African vacation is a great idea not only for you, but your entire family. The country has so many things to offer everyone. You can plan a romantic holiday with your partner in the beautiful Cape Town or Johannesburg, or let your hair down comfortably in the sun-soaked beaches while keeping your children occupied with the numerous amusement park and nature reserve tours. Whatever the occasion, South Africa definitely has its own unique platter for everybody. Just take a look.


Talking about the vivacious heritages of the country, South Africa offers a number of world heritage sites for its visitors. Starting with the Cradle of Humankind, it is a collection of several hominid fossil sites scattered in Taung, Sterkfontein, Kromdraai and Swartkrans. More particularly, the Taung Heritage Site is of special importance for archaeologists who consider it to be the most significant source of the missing link between man and the apes. Situated in the northern coastal region of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park is home to a wide variety of waterbird species. The park also includes mountains, forests, wetlands, mangroves and dune vegetation.


Now coming down to the city life, Johannesburg is one of the most popular destinations among tourists. The city is commonly known as the city of gold due to its gold mines. Clad in cultural extravagance, the city of Johannesburg is a great location for fun and festivities. That is not all, your air tickets to South Africa destinations certainly will offer lots of holiday ideas for a memorable travel experience in the country. If you like shopping, just head to the Sandton city, where you will find Africa’s best shopping malls. Next to Sandton is the Randburg Waterfront, where you will find a collection of restaurants, fast food outlets and a flea market. So shopping now meets an interesting opportunity to experience the exquisite delicacies of the country!

South African parks are affordable compared to Botswana and Zimbabwe.
The big five look the same any where in Southern Africa so decide why added expense and four extra days of travel with petrol costs make it worth while.

If you are in Gauteng a visit to the Pilanesberg especially during the week will make you feel as though you own the park. It is really a weekend park with often not more than 30 cars in the park during the week.

The Botswana side of the Kgalakadi probably trumps Chobe and Savute for its remoteness from other people minus the very big game. There with the proximity to the South African side there are always supplies of essentials should you need them as well as vehicle support and repair.
