South Africa offers incredible natural beauty, an abundance of animal life, and cultural diversity.
Took a full day tour of Pilanesburg Reserve, Ultimate Johannesburg Tour which included Nelson Mendela House and Museum, Constitutional Hill, and Soweto. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. Our visit to Soweto was enlightening. There were five of us on the tour and we always felt safe. We booked a three-night/four-day Kruger National Park tour through Mmilo Tours. Norman Lok took care of everything! Mmilo Tours made the best decision when they booked our room at the Pestana Kruger Lodge. Absolutely incredible! This lodge is situation on the Crocodile River. Imagine having breakfast, dinner, or enjoying drinks while watching African animals who come to drink water. There were hippopotamus, crocodiles, elephants, etc. We stayed in a premium room at this lodge and had the same view of the river from our room. The staff and the general manager were especially gracious and accommodating. Four private game drives, two sunset and two sunrise, into Kruger National Park were included on this tour with Mmilo Tours. Amazing! We also spent one full day with Thapelo Seerane from Vince Shuttle and Taxi Services, taking in the Panorama Route, which included several waterfalls, Blyde River Canyon, the three Rondavels, God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes, and a lunch stop at Harrie's Pancakes...the best! I would encourage everyone to buy your souvenirs from the vendors at these stops. You are helping to support the people of South Africa and they are most appreciative! Book your trip today!!!

Fantastic, amazing and very affordable
It has been 15 years since I last visited and was pleasantly surprised at how energetic and vibrant the Western Cape was. We were vacationing in the Houtbay area and enjoyed our stay immensely. Surrounded by mountains and the Atlantic ocean. The area was conducive to hiking and water activities. Cape Town was a few kilometres away and offered stunning views, restaurants and night life. Table Mountain was a challenge we accepted with trepidation but conquered in about five hours..the gondola ride down was about 5 minutes. Highly recommended

Our first safari
My wife and I had a wonderful time on our first safari. All the staff that we met were more than helpful . We had a chance to see and learn about a lot of interesting things. We will certainly pass our experience on to our friends and family so maybe they can enjoy a trip like we did.

Stunning and bucket list once in a lifetime experience.
Had an amazing safari with Junglers Adventure tours. From start to finish organization and booking was easy. It was a private tour so felt very special. Our guides Eric and Bertjan were amazing, knowledgeable, friendly but professional and great fun. I had some amazing vegetarian dishes especially those cooked by the guides. The wildlife we see was out of this world, seeing the top 4 within an hour and lions the next day. An amazing leopard encounter, a lion couple on honeymoon and watching vultures and hyenas devour a kill stolen off some cheetahs. The guides were patient and allowed us plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the experience. I will never forget this experience and thank them for making my childhood dreams come to life and feel like I was David Attenborough.

Amazing country with lots of different qualities
We spent time in Cape Town, which is a beautiful city. It has its poorer side, as do all major cities, but is an amazing place to visit. The culture, Table Mountain and the waterfront are some of the highlights. Langa township is well worth a visit.
We then spent 4 days in the Kruger National Park and saw most of the wild animals that we wanted to see. Only the leopard remained illusive. Lots of lions with cubs, elephants, rhino's, giraffes and zebra to name a few. An amazing experience. Totally recommended.
South Africa is an amazing country.

South Africa is a country with great cultural and wildlife diversity.
Due to a flight change, we ended up with an extra day in Johannesburg, so we did a private one-day trip in Pilanesberg Park. The trip was very well organized and our guides were knowledgeable and very entertaining. It was a great way to spend a day.

Nice View, Various Tourist Attraction and Mostly Nice People
I was told before visiting South Africa that it is a dangerous country. But after visiting for 10 days, I would say it's not true. As long as you always alert, not taking only photos, you will find South Africa is a nice country that you should visit. Not only a beautiful country with a various activities (eg, sunset cruise, safari, etc), the cost of living is comparatively cheap. The most important thing I experienced from this trip is, South African people are so friendly, kindly and helpful.

Ivory Wilderness was Wonderful
We spent 4 days at Ivory Wilderness camp on the Klaserie River - just south of Kruger I have been on safari many times and this was as good as it gets. Animals everywhere. Lions, leopards, elephants, Rhinos, buffalo, hippo, wild dogs, hyena and a wonderous array of antelope. We even did a bush walk and encountered elephants. Frightening and exhilarating at the same time. The lodge was great with great food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.
