We flew with SAA on 8 hops around South Africa in 1995 in everything from 8 seaters to jumbo jets and were quite pleased. SAA is an international airline and I believe their record is quite good. We landed at Strukuza (sp?) outside Kruger and stayed at the Inyati Lodge which was fabulous; the guides were all natives and exremely knowledgable...all we missed seing was a leopard, saw the other 4 of the big 4 plus everythig else we could have wished for.

I recall that driving was not recommended in the Cape area then, and understand that it is still not recommended.
