We stayed at Rissington Inn and it was great. The time to the gates for Kruger national Park werent long and it was a really relaxing place to stay and still in nature. The Kruger game drives were great, we got to see the big 5 with a couple of close encounters (in a good way).

Everything was so good.:) my two little ones really enjoyed. Food was delicious, if Agent would advise all transport options would be perfect, as we did not realise there's a small flight to Safaris instead of 6 hours shuttle.

What an amazing animal adventure, one of my favorite trips!

We went primarily to see the wildlife in their natural habitat and the trip surpassed our expectations. The animals came so close to our vehicle and were not bothered by our presence at all. We got to see them behaving as they do, protecting their babies, protecting their kill, playing, eating, and sleeping. January is a good time to see the babies. The big cats are as awesome as you expect, the elephants are a delight to watch play in the mud, the giraffes are elegant, and who knew warthogs could be so cute! We did see the big five but those and the vervet monkeys and baboons were our favorites. I did not know what to expect with accommodations or food, but both were fabulous! Viewing animals outside your bedroom window is really cool and they fed us more delicious fresh, food than we could ever eat. The service was outstanding everywhere we went. People are friendly and helpful and our guides, Sebastion and Armand, and tracker, Rifos, were extremely knowledgeable. We hated to
Read more leave! Six days was really not enough to see and do all that South Africa has to offer. I recommend staying 10 days to 2 weeks if you want to get enough of animals, scenery and culture. We could have spent more time viewing animals and we missed out on museums and culture. Lastly, save room for the South African wine!

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

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!

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

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

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.
