Why do you, your companions, etc want to go to SA?

The answer to this question will help a lot in deciding on where specifically to stay.

Where you are flying from will also help in deciding if Cape Town or Johannesburg works best as your first destination.

I choose to use a travel agent to book my time on safari's, in country transport, activities and countries. I picked a couple and let them come up with a plan based on what we wanted to accomplish on our trip, and what broadly we could spend in dollars and time.

Have you done a search on "trip reports"?

My report explains how we decided and where we went.

Good luck
