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.

Even better than I could ever imagine!
We had a family experience: my husband, my 11 years old son and I. South Africa is much better than great! We visited Johannesburg, than we drove to Kruger National Park and we had one of the best experiences in the Safari. We could see the Big 5 plus the Cheetah! People are amazing, very kind and gentle everywhere! We could eat zebra and crocodile meat (delicious)!!! The weather helped a lot, not too hot, despite it's summer time! Table Mountain (in Cape Town) was the best city! And Plettemberg the most beautiful and lovely! The wildlife, the landscape, the views... we'll never forget. Important to mention: we rented a car and it was very easy to park everywhere. And it was also very safe!

Beautiful and Diverse
It’s hard to find a trip that can match what South Africa offers. It provides something for everyone from chasing the Big Five in Kruger to sipping wines in the Cape Winelands to cycling the Cape Peninsula.
We read a lot about safety in South Africa but we never felt unsafe at any time. We did an incredibly well organized tour to Kruger with MoAfrika but also toured on own in the Capetown area. Renting a car was easy and safe, much prefer driving in South Africa to let’s say Italy.
I can’t imagine a better climate than you will find in Capetown. Always sunny and never too hot. I found it to be a cross between the beauty of Vancouver, Canada and the wonderful climate of San Diego, USA. Kruger can be very hot so I would choose a cooler time of year to visit if that is a concern.

Beautiful country, beautiful animals and beautiful people!
South Africa was an experience of a lifetime. We did not see much of Johannesburg as we left for a safari in Sabi Sands. Learned a lot about the local culture and did a scenic tour of the canyon and waterfalls. Food was excellent everywhere we ate! The scenery is stunning. We had a guide every step of the way, so I am unsure of the safety of the area if we were on our own.

South Africa has stunning wildlife, terrific food and really friendly people.
South Africa is a fantastic destination for a safari. We went to Sabi Sands and had a magical time and were really well looked after. The wildlife was breathtaking and the staff went above and beyond. Had a few days in Johannesburg as my husband works there. The South Africans are absolutely delightful, I felt so welcomed and the food is superb. All the locals are very friendly however there is a high crime rate in Johannesburg so you can't really wander off and explore. Having said that we did a bus tour which was very interesting and we learnt a lot about the city. There is also a nice shopping mall. My husband went to Capetown on business and loved it, stunning place.

Our Safari blew my dreams out of the water.
A Safari has always been my dream. We saw so many animals up close, so majestic and proud in their own space.
