I love everthing in that amazing country, but most of all the feeling to be welcome...
We booked our trip with Viva Safari and everthing was perfectly organised. Victor, Rocky, Raymond, Smiley and all others at Tremisana Lodge made as e wonderfull, unforgetable time.
A lovely, unique trip
We visited SA for remote work in Cape Town followed by a safari at Arathusa Lodge. The lodge was lovely and our tour operator, who helped us coordinate the flights and accommodation, was a wonderful help throughout. Saw an abundance of animals and had a spacious, beautiful room.
Beautiful country with so much to see and do!
We loved the experience of staying at a lodge in private game reserve which allowed us to see wildlife up close! Kruger was also amazing, but just a different experience. I would highly recommend combining both of those types of safaris.
The lodge was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Food was amazing and the staff very friendly. Amazing experience for us for sure!

The beat of your heart
South Africa has such great experiences to enjoy. The ocean and mountains in Cape Town makes one feel as though you found a hidden secret in the world. The beauty and calm that one experiences is certain to be a memorable journey. Go dolphin chasing in on a kayak, drive to Cape Point through Chapman’s Peak, watch a sunset off of signal hill over looking the ocean, ride up a cable car to Table mountain, climb Lions head, a winelands tour are just to name a few. Plenty more things to do but do not miss out on staying in the Cape. I highly recommend for a 1st Safari to go to Kruger National Park and make sure you have a guide. I used Wild Wing Safaris which was very reasonable priced but you can go to more expensive places too. Your guide is key to tracking and making sure you see the Big 5 and many animals. Pamper yourself in relaxation at The Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg before your long journey back home. It’s a masterpiece of a hotel with great food, spa and absolute luxury. No question you will fall in love with South Africa!

A totally magical country to visit for nature lovers
We never tire of visiting South Africa for business and pleasure. After a dozen trips and several safaris, we're already planning our next. Safari Bookings helped us this time, with seamless care and attention at short notice.

beautiful country that has much to offer.
I was very happy with the safari trip. The trip to the Kruger was worth it. The communication with "Safari with us" was very straightforward and I received a response at any time.

Amazing beautiful scenery, with wide variety of open spaces, and exotic animal life.
I would highly recommend South Africa as a travel destination. The people here are friendly, English is widely spoken, and costs of food is relatively low. The Kruger national park is amazing to visit, as well as Johannesburg. Cape Town is a very amazing city and I would highly recommend all first time visitors to Africa, to check it out.
Amazing destination to enjoy the nature
The team on the safari are top of the world, their passion they put its amazing, you enjoy the wildlife but also its an amazing opportunity to meet people from all around the world

Excellent trip in a stunning, exciting country
Spent a few days in Johannesburg - a city with an obviously troubled history, but I never felt anything other than welcomed. Tours of the city highlights and Soweto was intruiging and moving in equal measure - but never dull and the people were wonderful.
Five days on safari in Kruger National Park was nothing less than magnificent - animals in abundance and the guides find even the elusive species, even in the rainy season. Need to time it though, as rains flooded some of the park days after I left, so I was lucky. Stayed outside the park in the excellent Kruger Adventure Lodge at Hazyview - game drives from there with excellent guides. Panorama Tour also thrown in, and this was a stunning day touring spectacular coutryside outisde the park.
Then on to Cape Town, which was stunning and friendly, with great beaches (although water is very cold) and a busy, interesting town centre. An excellent day tour of Table Mountain, Boulders Beach and the pengiun colony there, ended at Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope - the traditional end of Africa, an incredible scenic and historic site which felt like the end of the known world. Simply amazing.
There is much more to see in South Africa than I covered, so don't limit your time there if you want to see it all!
