Rich with natural beauty
The time I spent in South Africa was great, though most of it was driving. I was with some veterinarians who were visiting various game ranches and conservation operations. While I didn't get to spend much time in the "wild bush", the scenic views I experienced while driving down the eastern coast, and inland areas was breathtaking. There is such a variety of natural beauty in South Africa, with many different ecosystems, and varieties of people. I experience such a rich diversity of cultures, languages, and traditions. My time spent in the parks was limited to a few short day visits, but all of the accommodations were top notch, and quite luxurious. Being one of the more developed nations in Africa, many of the facilities and services in South Africa are superior to other countries. A great place to visit, whether you want to go on Safari, tour by car, or just view natural beauty.

Huge diversity and great viewing, but some areas are tourist traps.
Review about Mahale Mountains National Park by butforthesky
A little too close to Arusha to really feel like you're on safari, but decent viewing and scenery

Review about Ithala Game Reserve by Wim Spronk
I have bad memories of Ithala because while camping in their lovely rustic campsite we had a hail storm with stones the size of golf balls which wrote off my car as well, as two caravans belonging to the rangers. The bird life was quite good and there was limited game.

Review about Arusha National Park by Jim Griggs
Birding was spectacular! Other wildlife was amazing but not as diverse as the other parks we visited.
