We return every year to South Africa, it has spectacular scenery and the hospitality is amazing, no to mention the Safari experience!

The wildlife I saw exceeded my expectations and the Veldt is beautiful. The area we were in at Idube had a great 'Bush Vibe' with its off road tracking and drives. There was less bird life about than I expected in July.

South Africa is unlike any place I've ever been. It is beautiful in a way I never imagined. I came away with a greater appreciation for its variety of wildlife and how important it is to protect these animals in their environment.

South Africa is a beautiful, friendly, country that has something for everyone. Although I have not experienced Safaris elsewhere, South Africa seems to have all the animals anyone would want to see (penguins included!). I'm not a birder so I'm fairly unsure as to what the variety is although the lilac breasted roller is the most beautiful bird I've ever seen.

You can find very nice cities, and in a few hours on the road, you are in the middle of the wildlife.

South Africa is the ultimate adventure destination. The continent is hard to get to but once there, you really don't want to leave until you've seen it all. And you cannot see it all in just two weeks so it makes you want to plan your next trip to South Africa right after you return.

It's ideal in that you can go a relatively short distance from civilisation and be in the wild outdoors of nature. South Africa does offer that, although I do not have a comparison point with another safari-offering country.

South Africa is unlike any place I have ever experienced. It's modern yet basic, unique in it's own customs that draws one in personally.

South Africa has it all; from breathtakingly beautiful wildlife to (for those who seek that) interesting city-trips (Cape Town) and beaches, wonderful scenery (the Flower route and the Wine route)
