I didn't feel my life was in danger. However, there are many vagrants and many beggars. At the airport, you will be asked for a lot of tips. This was also an experience that made me realize the disparity. I was a little scared when I was asked to use marijuana only once. However, marijuana is not illegal in South Africa. Safari was perfect. I was able to see the Big Five. All the staff were helpful and friendly.

A place we would go again!
Overall rating
5/5

South Africa had everything we could have wanted. To start with all the drivers were friendly and knowledgeable. We chose to go on a safari close to Cape Town and were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation, food, atmosphere and getting a chance to see the big 5. In Cape Town we had the best meals of our lives, eating lots of fresh seafood and local game. My wife enjoyed the shopping and walking around town. The areas were spotless, safe, and had a fun vibe. A must-visit is Robyn Island and the Desmond Tutu Foundation. I would recommend South Africa as a destination for all!

We saw so much wildlife we were overwhelmed! We had a good driver/guide who impressed us by finding animals we couldn’t see and he worked really hard so we could see lots of animals.

First Holiday Experience in South Africa and we were very impressed with the whole experience.
Overall rating
5/5

This was our first holiday experience in South Africa. Through Safaribookings.com we were contacted by Indigo Safaris who put together a short sampler trip together for us, collecting us from our cruise having arrived in Durban and transferring us to their recommended Lodge , Nambiti Plains in the Nambiti Private game reserve and then ensuring we got to Cape Town to rejoin our cruise in Cape Town six days later. Mathew at Indigo understood our brief perfectly and organised a wonderful experience for us. We would thoroughly recommend all who were involved in our short trip, Safaribookings, Indigo and Nambiti Plains for a truly memorable holiday. We will return , no doubts on that

Stunning country
Overall rating
5/5

We had a wonderful safari with Wildlife Safaris. We had Hoppy as our guide. He was simply quite brilliant; helpful, caring, friendly and so knowledgeable. We looked at various companies for our safari; Do not hesitate to book this company. Everything was wonderful from start to finish. We saw so many animals (apart from the elusive leopard) and enjoyed wonderful breakfasts overlooking the Sabie river hippos, after our early morning game drives.

The rest of South Africa is so beautiful. If you can cope with the emotions of seeing terrible poverty while you enjoy luxury, then you must go!

5/5

I love south Africa. there is soo much going on. from great Beaches to scenic landscapes with great weather and let us not forget the wildlife. (never trust the Monkeys though). My recent trip was the Second time I've been to south Africa and I loved discovering new places I Have not seen before. There's Truly something for everyone. and I'm constantly surprised why south African "Braii" and wine is not more internationally Known. I have such an appreciation for South Africa that I often forget I'm in a foreign country. If I ever Learn to speak Swahili or Afrikaans I'm going to set up shop somewhere in the bush with a pack of wild dogs and maybe a leopard or two and sell Biltong and Pinotage to Tourists.
