Hello Lesley, I did this trip a couple of months ago. It was my first solo long haul holiday and I just loved every minute of it. It's well planned, with lots to do and see. The other holiday makers were great company and we all got along fine. South Africa is really interesting, extremely scenic and I am sure you would have a fabulous time. Kruger at the end is good, as there are a couple of early starts. Well worth it!
