The only reason I gave one 4-star rating is because the South African bush is much more dense than areas like Kenya and Tanzania where it can be easier to spot game from further off. That said; it does bring an additional sense of adventure to South African game drives, because you really feel like you're tracking animals in order to find them.

South Africa has it all. I never tire of visiting our national parks and nature reserves.

For birding it is best to go to KZN, around St Lucia.

South Africa offers increadible sceneries, not only inside Kruger National Park.
The general organisation and attention to detail of South African game reserves is second to none. The rangers and hotel staff are universally knowledgeable and pleasant. Our one regret is that South Africa is a big country and we can't visit all of it much though we would like to!

Ideally I would like to see all the animals that I shoot photos of as totally wild "not on reserves", but I realize that in South Africa that's just not available as much. The parks I've visited have been amazing and the birding is top notch.
We found South Africa to be more beautiful, friendly and scenic than we expected! It is truly a great destination for safari, and other travel experiences!

I loved South Africa, and I will definitely be back. September was a lovely time of year, not too hot. Loads of wildlife and birds (all beautifully coloured). A photographer's dream!
There are so many beautiful places to visit in South Africa you will want to go back again and again!
