We had a great time in Capetown, and the most fantastic safari experience in Tremisana Lodge by Viva Safari. Saw all the big 5 and lots of other animals and we saw a leopard driving by the water hole 10 ft away from our 4x4 on our last morning drive and then even a cheetah on our way out . We were also taken to The Blyde Canyon which is so beautiful. South Africa is a very blessed country with good food, good wine all reasonably inexpensive . If you love animals and nature this is the perfect destination.

MoAfrika provided an Excellent 4 day safari package where we managed to see 4 of the big 5 in game reserves & Kruger National Park
We spent time in both Johannesburg & Capetown learning about the history of South Africa and living through Apartheid
We also visiting the Cape of Good Hope along with Table Mountain & other National Parks
We also had great wildlife adventures at a cheetah outreach & lovely wine tasting at Ernie Els vineyard in Stellenbosch
Would highly recommend visiting this diverse country

Our Rainbow Nation Destination

Cape Town was wonderful. We had great weather and our air B and B apartment at Docklands was exceptional. We had a fabulous day at the V and A waterfront and a trip up Table Mountain with stunning views. We did a lovely Peninsula drive from CT to Boulders Bay with our driver Jimmy who was so knowledgeable about the area. We then flew to Johannesburg and had a safari trip to the Pilanesburg with MoAfrika. Sibusiko, our driver who collected us from the Holiday Inn at OR Tambo was really friendly and looked after us until we were able to check in to our accommodation at Bakubung in the Pilanesburg Game Reserve. From then Bakubung took over our game drives which we thought was a bit odd as we had paid and expected MoAfrika to take us into the park. We felt young children and their families should be kept separate from other adults wanting to get closer to the animals. There was an issue with one family not wanting to get closer than 200 yards from an elephant because they had young children
Read more on the vehicle which spoilt it for the rest of us. The weather was rainy and miserable which did put a dampener on the game viewing. We will certainly have another trip to the Cape and other SA destinations in the future and I would recommend anyone to have a holiday in South Africa as it is such good value for money to overseas visitors and the people are great.

Incredible experience in the heart of wildlife

My girlfriend and I were amazed during our outings in the reserves. Magnificent encounters whether by vehicle or on foot. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and much more. I highly recommend taking a 3-hour walking tour; it's another experience to be had. Moafrika gave us good advice before the trip. And even though we did the safari with Viva Safaris, it was great. The places where we slept were very well equipped, especially the second camp. Going in March is a good idea to avoid the busy summer periods and, above all, it allows you to see baby elephants, zebras, hyenas, etc. The guides are really great at showing us as many animals as possible and giving us explanations.

We spent 5 lovely days in Kruger and saw almost all of the big 5 only failing to see rhinos. We got up amazingly close to wild animals and our safari was a total joy to my wife and I. Victoria Falls was a bucket list item for my wife and I and it totally lived up to its fame, what an awesome sight and sound it is. Finished off with some days in Cape Town and could have gladly spent an extra week in that beautiful city. We will definitely return.

A lovely holiday in the North East of the country. A few days safari where we saw the big 5 amongst other animals and birds. We also had a days drive around the scenic areas with lots of lovely views and tales of the history.
Great staff at the hotels we were in, helpful with travel, tourist information and dietary requirements.

Far beyond our expectations

5 / 5 5 /5

Our first Safari and it was breathtakingly good, so far beyond our expectations. The guide and tracker were amazing and we got so close to the animals, particularly the big 5 which we encountered on numerous times, as the guide was allowed to go of the tracks and into the bush to view. We saw very young, lion cubs, elephant twins, rhino and Hyena pups. I was slightly concerned about going in April knowing the bush would thick after the rains but it did not matter and a bit as the guide and tracker new where to look. We even experienced a water buffalo stampede (albeit we only heard it as it was dark) as two male lions tried unsuccessfully for a kill. We're not birders but saw so many different birds I'm still trying to remember the names and identify them. Five different eagles, three owls and all the other smaller birds. Well done Discover Africa
