South Africa Wildlife Reviews

Based on 141 customer reviews
Great way to see SA
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“An interesting and varied trip, including trekking in several locations, safaris in a number of places, a trip to a beach and a boat ride to see hippos and other wildlife. I like hippos and gazelles.”
South Africa: Walking and Wildlife
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“Difficult to sum up as we were offered such a wealth of experiences on this holiday. However revelling in the wonders of the natural world, whether specifically looking for wildlife, or walking in the mountains and hills, was a constant.”
Walking and Wildlife South Africa
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“A very varied holiday, filled daily with new adventures so that it felt longer than 2 weeks. The animal sightings on safari and the early morning estuary trip were thrilling and the views on the mountain walks breathtaking. The added excitement of panning for gold, the aspects of historical interest (Anglo-Zulu war) and a day at the beach whale watching made this trip truly memorable.”
