r2d2, it would be a waste of money to try and do this trip in 5 days, first your flight will be 13 hours each way only if going direct and it will cost you 900 a head for tickets alone, it will cost about 300 a piece on injections, if you want to see real wild animals then kuger park is the only one in SA, You will see the big 5 and others in smaller game reserves in a day, totally enjoyable this way and also you can do the feeding of elephants, petting cheetahs,etc in other small parks, Some one mentioned Robbin island, We tried this trip and there was a 5 day waiting list for it,It took us 5 days to get to top of table mountain, wind, cloud and fog were the culprits, but when we did there wasn't a breeze up there and dead clear just a small bit of table cloth at far end,
northsideboy; Tipping in all restaurants is a min of 10% and regards rest car parks guides etc its what ever you wish, A small tip in our money is a lot to them.100Rand or €10 is a big tip, you will get a full steak dinner for that there.
