There are so many game reserves to visit with such a wide variety of game viewing and birding. We camp mostly so I can't comment of other accommodation or food.

We are not particularly birders, we did see a number of birds, but not a huge variety.

The South African National Parks are superbly managed, and cater to every possible taste. All the national parks have fabulous birding and photographic opportunities, as well as excellent game viewing. Many of the parks have the big five.

The best three months of my life were spent in South Africa. From the Cape to Kruger, everything is amazing. I saw over 350 species of birds, incredible mammals, and gorgeous views.

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.

You probably don't get the wilderness experience you would get elsewhere - unless you go for the smaller lodges & private concessions.
