which is better for wildlife viewing and safety – South Africa (Kruger park) vs. Kenya/Tanzania safari tour? ?
It has been a lifelong dream to see wildlife in Africa, but I’m concerned about safety. Is Krueger Park a reasonable alternative to a typical multi-stop tour of Kenya and Tanzania to places like masi mara and ngorogoro crater?

Kruger National Park!!! You will love South Africa, all the people can speak english, and the infrastructure is great. The crime is not that bad…

In the Free State Province there are a lot of game farms lately, some even keep lion…
Why not try places like La La Nathi guest farm or Places like Quantani which is situated on the banks of Sterkfontein Dam or try a little place called “The Windmills” on the border of the Free State Province and Kwa Zulu Natal.
Here is another;
Get to the holiday chalets of the Sterkfontein Dam and do daily excursions to game farms in the area.
Or
Get a booking at Cathedral Peak hotel which is situated right in the heart of the Drakensberg where lots of natural game prevail.
