"……I love the sunshine, always sunshine and skies that are blue for ever…..I love the thunderstorms and lighting that do remind you who is boss!.....I love the people, a multitude of colours, forms and shapes, smiling and greeting you!"

2 Of all the sensational wildlife national parks in South Africa, which one is your favourite ?

"……Went to SA for 3 weeks in 2005. Managed to visit Kruger National Park, Addo Elephant National Park, Tsitsikamma National park, Wilderness National Park, and Table Mountain National park. All very different, but all wonderfull. Will be back in South Africa in Oct. 2008. Hard choice to make if we should try Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park or re-visit Kruger National Park. Our children decided - re-visit Kruger National Park. We will also go to Golden Gate Highlands National park."

3 Tell us about your most breathtaking experience in South Africa's national parks.

"……We had come upon a midden of rhino dung and the top layer was noticeably warm and visibly steaming in the cold morning air. That meant the rhino was close. The game ranger motioned for us to remain silent and completely still. He had heard the whine of a baby rhino. Then we heard another sound, a loud explosive grunt! Was the mother rhino signaling her intention to charge? Should we find a tree?"

4 "South Africa’s scenery is just sensational"!! Do YOU agree? Please share with us.

"……On the way back, we drove through Chapman's Peak, a scenic drive from Cape Town to Hout Bay. We caught the most amazing sunset there. I highly recommend this drive. We met some guys from Greece and they said they had not seen anything so magnificent.

5 What is YOUR most unforgettable South African safari experience? Tell us YOUR story.

"……During one night, 2 male lions came to our hut. One urinated on the side of the sandbags, and then they proceeded to lick the braai grid for a while. Then they were roaring at a range of less than 5 metres from the cabin and I will never forget the sound. As the sun rose they lay down in front of our cabin and then proceeded to drink from the waterhole before walking off into the dunes."

6 Let others benefit from your experience, share your South Africa travel info and tips.

"……The major banks have branches as well as automated teller machines (ATMs) in most large towns and all over the cities. International banks have branches in the major cities. Thomas Cook (represented by Rennies Travel) and American Express foreign exchange offices are also available in the major cities."

7 Do you have a picture to go along with your South Africa travel story? Do share it with us together with your story.

"……The lion took a few sips from the water on the ground but did not look impressed….It then walked around the waterhole, took another few sips, but still did not look happy and again walked around….On the other side of the waterhole it looked straight at us and I was just busy pointing my camera at this majestic beast looking at us, when, without warning, it jumped!!!!......

I pressed the button and captured it while it jumped."
