In my opinion South Africa is perfect for safaris especially if it's your first or second time in Africa. You have the wildlife mostly intact and often pretty close (compared to some Eastern African Countries), usually it's not to crowded and you get the same standards in food and accomodation you're used to, often even better.

South Africa has so much to offer and is very diverse in its safari destinations. Visited different parks on different holidays over the past years and still hope to cross them all of my list someday. South Africa hasn't seen the last of me yet!
South Africa more than exceeded our expectations, we were treated wonderfully wherever we went , And the wildlife totally took our breath away
South Africa as a whole is a very big country with many different biomes creating a large variety of wonderful places to visit accommodating every interest out there!

Amazing country with amazing diversity

The only reason I gave one 4-star rating is because the South African bush is much more dense than areas like Kenya and Tanzania where it can be easier to spot game from further off. That said; it does bring an additional sense of adventure to South African game drives, because you really feel like you're tracking animals in order to find them.

For birding it is best to go to KZN, around St Lucia.
