South Africa is the world in one country.
Kruger Park is easy to get to from Cape Town. While I haven't safaried in other areas of Africa, I can't imagine a better experience!
In our group we had a lot of bird lovers. They had the trip of there life. For me the beauty of the nature and the animals was really sensational. South Africa was a trip full of highligts.

Eye opening experiences in an amazing country
South Africa is an amazing country to visit and I recommend it to everyone that I can. I was there studying abroad so I had almost 5 months to experience what I did. I stayed in Stellenbosch for most of my time there, but I did travel on an outside (of my study abroad group) trip to Kruger National Park that was incredible. I also traveled along the Garden Route for a week, which was beautiful. Cape Town was such a fun city to explore - lots of shopping, restaurants, a waterfront area and a lively nightlife. Although I stayed in a part that was settled, there were still plenty of areas that were very rural. I miss South Africa and recommend it as a vacation destination!
Where else in the world can you within a 1000km radius see wildlife and scenic beauty as found in the Kruger Park, Kalahari, Busmanland, Garden Route, the Drakensberg, West Coast and round it of with the wine routes around Cape Town. We really enjoyed our time
Besides the Kruger (and all the hundreds of private game reservers around), you have the Kalahari, Cape Town with Cape-Dutch vineyards, Garden Route, Drakensberg, Soweto and the West Coast. What more can you ask for within a 1000 km?
South Africa is simply the best place in the world for viewing wildlife in luxury while still being close to civilisation.
