Starting planning for trip to Africa in May 2014. I will have about a week and a half of time to spend in Africa. I would like to start or end in either CPT or JNB. Included in this time I would like to do a Safari, where and how does one start picking the best Safari? All the information out there makes my head swim. I'm a single traveler and am looking at a safari in the middle of the price point range for a Safari. Would also be interested in doing volunteer work on my Safari if possible.

Any ideas on how my trip should look or any Safari venders that are reputable would be appreciative.
