Great holiday destination
Why have I not visited South Africa before? I’m not sure but I’m glad I finally did! Such an impressive beautiful country full of beautiful people with so much to see and do. My 10 day visit to Cape Town and the Cape province was short but I managed to pack in winery visits in Stellenbosch, Elgin and Franschhoek, a two day visit to a private game reserve and a few days in Cape Town including a trip to the top of Table Mountain. Great food and wine. All very cost effective. The exchange rate helps.
So many more things to do and see. Will be back soon.

Magnificent country with friendly people
We visited port Elizabeth and Capetown on a cruise. These were modern cities with great facilities restaurants and tours. Felt very safe at all times. All expenses were very reasonable.
Climate on our trip was excellent. Not too hot.

Marvellous
In January we visited South Africa for the first time, on the occasion of my 70th birthday. We were recommended to start with Safari, so we started our adventure in Johannesburg, with 5 days 4 nights in Kruger park. We arrived at the lodge at 7 pm, started with dinner, then went to bed after a long journey, which started in the south of France by car to Barcelona, and flight. On arrival it was hot 38° and high humidity, but it felt lovely. The clock rang at 4 in the morning, quick shower coffee, and off on our first Safari. It was a fantastic experience to experience all the wild animals at arm's length. After about 3 hours of safari back to the lodge for a lovely breakfast, bathed in the crystal clear water in the pool, rested a bit and then went on the afternoon Safari. We were lucky to experience 4 out of 5 big five, unfortunately we did not see rhino. One day we went on an excursion to Swaziland, a fairly long drive of about 4 hours, but so well worth the trip, beautiful nature, wonderful... Read more people, we stopped at an artist's village, with lots of African art, fabrics in all colors and patterns, on to an authentic village, where you learned how people lived for generations, we got to experience traditional singing and dancing. our days in Kruger park are days I deeply value, the people were so wonderful and warm-hearted, we only experienced kindness wherever we were. The staff at the lodge were fantastic and accommodating, our tour guide did everything to ensure that we got the full value. We then continued our trip to Cape Town, we stayed with good friends for 5 nights in Stellenbosch, on a wine farm, it was fantastic to experience the old center of Stellenbosch with beautiful buildings. One day in Franschhoek we rode the wine train and buses between the most amazing vineyards, we walked back the main street, to see the beautiful houses, all the nice shops and have lunch. our last three nights we stayed in the Waterfront with good friends, there we visited Table Mountain and Robben Island. I am so happy with my trip to South Africa, so we have started looking at a new trip there in January 2026

Beautiful country with lovely people
We loved Mdluli safari lodge resort and our package of four days safari. Everything was included except for the drinks which was smooth. The weather was good, pretty hot though and the bushes were pretty densed. So it was a little harder to see the animals, but we saw the big five and a lot more animals. Would love to go back some day!

First trip to South Africa
First trip to South Africa, blown away by this beautiful and diverse country. Visited Cape Town, Franschhoek and Kruger, this was the perfect mix for us. Did our own thing in Cape Town using a hire car and Airbnb in Clifton, visiting cape point, Table Mountain, boulder beach and Constantia Glen vineyard, all fabulous. Then on to Franschhoek, another stunning Airbnb, the vineyards and many wine tastings didn’t disappoint. Then on to Kruger, we booked Hoyo Hoyo with Safari.com, flew to Hoedspruit and we were met at the airport, Hoyo Hoyo was perfect, we stayed for 3 nights, they looked after us so well, we saw almost all the animals it was definitely the highlight of the trip. Trip of a lifetime, thank you South Africa.

A spectacular country with breathtaking scenery plants and animals.
South Africa offers an unbelievable diversity in plants, landscapes, sea scapes. We are also captivated by the wonderful culinary experience both shopping and in restaurants at all levels.
