I'm in the early stages of planning.

Can i get input from those who've been there done that?....

*How much did a 2 week stay run you?
I'll be departing from the caribbean so i figure there'll be extra airfare involved, i just need a ball park idea so i can compare with the quotes.

*Besides safari and sightseeing, what else is there to do?

*how is security? did you feel safe? Any guidelines you can offer?

* Currency, should i exchange USD for rand? what is the rate? how are prices? for food for example? is dining out expensive? I'm a foodie are there good eats in SA?

*I'm thinking summer, is that a good time of the year to go? will it bwe too hot and muggy?

I thank you all in advance for your input and suggestions.
