We went on a safari in SA as part of our honeymoon and stayed at Tanda Tula, which is a private game reserve. It was awesome and they have huts instead of tents, which I preferred.

I've done safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana & Zimbabwe and all were amazing. We especially liked visiting private reserves where guides could track 'off road'. Definitely highlights of our travels!

We did this and it was cool -- though the driving distances are far. And every time our guide saw an animal there would be 15 other Jeeps in the same place. The beaches of Zanzibar were awesome.

we stayed at 3 different Wilderness Safaris camps -- www.wilderness-safaris.com -- in Botswana and they were amazing. And we didn't even do the highest end camps. Can't remember what travel agent we used (they were in Philly). Recommend 3 days at three camps in various regions to maximize what you see. Also recommend adding a trip to Victoria Falls.
