There were beautiful birds everywhere and we wished we were more knowledgeable about them.

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.
Lots of animals & birds to sight in their natural habitat. The bush has a certain unique beauty about it but the drought had dried up a lot of creek beds & vegetation. It's exciting to witness wild animals in the wild - almost surreal at times.

It was the only safari I've ever been on, so I don't have anything to compare it to. However, for a first time, it was wonderful.

Very good views of a number of mammals, especially leopards, elephants and white rhino but fewer bird species than expected. This could have been due to the very dry months prior to our visit with rains only beginning a day or two before our arrival. During the course of our stay the bush started to turn green so I can imagine that the scenic beauty will be much better in the weeks and months to come.

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.
