I was very pleased--off the plane in less than 24 hours and I saw all the Big 5--can't beat that!

South Africa feels like the real Africa

South Africa must be the top country in the world when it comes to Wild Life and is a mecca for birders. All game reserves are well organised and do everything to make visitors comfortable.

Although South Africa is not "Africa", it shows plenty athmosphere. I will always try to come back!

Great variety of wildlife, but we are extremely worried about the high rate of poaching at the moment which really spoils the whole experience

Our guide was kind and well informed, pointing out all the hidden treasures of Zulu Nyala.

We saw so much wild life that it was extraordinary. I'm not very interested in birds, but we saw a good amount of them. Overall, I would give the experience a 5 star rating. Highly recommend it!

Africa was just amazing, but we went also to Botswana and there we had a more bush vibe.
