South Africa focuses on conservation and wildlife preservation. There are many national parks in South Africa highlighting this as one of its foremost tourist attractions. The biodiversity of South Africa is plentiful, and ecotourism takes full advantage of this. There is a big drive in the South African culture on ecotourism and much of the profits made in all the national parks are fed back into the system and education. When you add good roads and infrastructure into the mix, it makes South Africa arguably Africas foremost safari and ecotourism destination.

Undeniably great wildlife, nature, scenery and birding opportunities. South Africa is a very popular tourist destination, and as the world gets more populated and more and more people are able to afford overseas holidays it is very difficult not to see a lot of other tourists around, unless you are prepared to pay a lot more money for exclusive private game reserves/lodges.

I've also journeyed to Amboseli National Park in Kenya. That sits next to Mount Kilimanjaro and was much greener with different wildlife -- but I was also there in May. What I liked about South Africa was the different ecology, the ease of having English spoken everywhere, and the incredible knowledge of most everyone we ran into around the Balule Reserve. I came away far more educated than in Kenya.

Conservation is a high priority in South Africa and there are many reserves and wild life parks through out. The bird life, fauna and flora are so diverse and often unique to the area that it is a country that has to be experienced

I have been in SA around 20 times, in different places and I must say it is a gorgeous country which has a bad reputation oversea. But I only met good people there and I am ready to go back in a couple of weeks.

Marianne helped 7 of us go on private safari to 2 very different, but equally spectacular places with Victoria Falls in the middle. We did a lot, but were never rushed.
Our guides were very good at their craft. We were amazed at how much we could see in such a short time. They also talked about life in Africa, and the culture and history. We took the trip of a lifetime.
The accommodations were great, food excellent. We have referred friends to Marianne, and would use her services again.
