I believe it is great depending on where you go but Pilanesberg Game Reserve definitely deserves 5 stars for all of those criteria. I am pretty sure the other Game Reserve will also be just as amazing. I live with my best friend who is a South African and all he has described to me has been accurate during my visit there therefore I would definitely go back some day to visit more of South Africa.

Facilities in South African parks are great and the diversity of wildlife is superb.

South Africa was just beautiful -- the landscape itself, not just the animals.

For all the same reasons listed above. It is a wonderful location. Being such a large country, two weeks was hardly enough to experience its beauty. I look forward to a return trip.

South Africa covers a wide geography with extremely diverse ecosytems and unspoiled natural beauty, ranging from Desert to sub-tropical and everything in between. There are an abundance of wildlife reserves across all of these differing ecologies catering to every type of nature enthusiast.

There is something for everyone. From luxury accommodation to camping with a good infrastructure. It's easy to get around. From guided tours to self drive and can still be done without breaking the bank.

everything about KRuger says it all!
Sanna and Saxon Trip Amazing
Overall we had a great trip. Special thanks to our guide Henry who was with us up to and including Elias - he was knowledgable, friendly, Ngorongoro was spectacular with early morning mist later giving way to brighter weather, and many interesting game sightings.
After an interesting side-trip to Oldupai Gorge, we entered the Serengeti which was really beautiful. The early rains meant it was already quite green. We saw quite a lot of game, especially from Dunia, including a lot of the migration. Quite large herds of wildebeest were already moving south through the central Serengeti.
When we got to Olekira we were afraid there might not be any wildebeest left north of the Mara river. However no sooner had we got to our tent on arrival when we had to literally "scramble" to the vehicles to race to a crossing which was taking place just in front of the camp. Later we saw two more crossings during our stay. In one of these we followed a large herd for some time... Read more as they moved along the river bank. Occasionally some would go down to the waters edge, only to go back again up the bank. Finally they decided to stop teasing us, and all charged across the river right in front of us. Many thanks to Northern Masailand Safaris team.
