Put this on your bucket list
We went at the end of March to arrive in rain - a bit of a shock! First safari drive challenging in terms of weather but such an experience. The sighting of a beautiful leopard melted my heart!! Weather did improve and sightings of animals on the drive were wonderful. After safari, garden route, national forests, beautiful scenery. Cape Town and peninsula beyond beauty.
A visit is a must. Wonderful food and wine and so reasonably priced.

Best trip ever
Thornybush lodge was terrific, with knowledgeable and friendly staff, great wildlife -saw everything, and not too crowded.
Best vacation of my life so far!
In South Africa, we started our voyage from Capetown, on to Franchoek (wine region) and then onward to Kruger National Park and then through Johannesburg on our way back home. The country of South Africa is like no other I have seen - it is so diverse, with a very westernized city like Capetown with amazing food and scenery, and then the wine region which was like Napa Valley or Okanagan (Canada) on steroids - it was THAT good - the buildings were designed beautifully and the wine was fantastic. And finally, the unbelievable wild animal life in Kruger National Park! It really was a dream trip and South Africa is an amazing place with many secrets that unfold for the tourist! Our private lodge, Simbavati, was beautiful, high-end, amazing service and food. Our guides and trackers made our trip, by teaching us so much about the animals, the terrain and the foliage. We loved every minute of our trip and have been highly recommending to anyone who will listen.

It was a great, thrilling and unsual experience
Wildlife was amazing. It was great we went to two different areas of the Kruger as we did not see the same animals in both.
As above, the scenery was also different in both areas so we did not get bored of seeing the same scenery for four days. The southern area of the park was more open and therefore more beautiful than the Thornybush area.
The weather was perfect. Not too warm during the day, and not cool early in the morning nor in the evenings. Even though it was mostly cloudy, this helped avoid the sun/shade contrast which makes taking good pictures somewhat more complicated.
Food was excellent everywhere, as was the service during meals.
Transportation during the safaris was perfect, and the guides were knowledgeable and helpful.
