African Safari

…What is a good safari to go on at Kruger Park? How do I start to plan this?
How do I go about planning a safari in South Africa’s Kruger Park? I will be in Johannesburg, so I assume Kruger Park makes the most sense. I have 3-Days for the safari. Do you have any recommendations of lodges or tour operators? What is the difference between lodges and tours? I know there are some options where you just find housing, some are just the jeep/tour guide, and some are the whole package. I am not sure where to begin.
I want to make this as affordable as possible. Closer to $500 US for the entire 3 days, versus $1000 for the entire 3 days.

Thanks!

Are there any Safari parks near Cape Town where you can go see Lions and Elephants etc in the wild? I’m not sure what the correct name is, wildlife tours?

I live in the United States, and plan on moving to Africa in the next five or six years.
I’ve been doing some research, and I’m starting a safari company… May sound crazy, I know…
I need opinions on whether or not I should live Near where I’m giving the safari tours, meaning not DAY’S of driving or flying away to and from home.. Or should I move more into a current city area. I know that South Africa speaks mainly english, so that will be a major pro. Although I’m willing to learn a language…Maby Kenya? That seems like a heavy tourist area.. Just looking for opinions… Thanks guys

I am thinking of going traveling to Africa next year for 6 weeks – 2 months on a tour including safaris and activities. I wondered if anyone had been and could tell me how much I could expect to spend in total including flights and extras as I have nothing to base prices on. Thanks
