This was a SUPERLATIVE EXPERIENCE that provide personalized service with maximum wildlife sightings
5/5

Wild planet Safari:
Superlative Experience!
My husband and I chose a private guided tour through Kruger National Park with Wild Planet Safari. Our itinerary was for 12 nights and 13 days. It also included the Panorama Route. We chose the camping option. We feel the price we paid for this experience was incredibly reasonable.
From the moment we contacted this company, Thale and Ryan worked with us patiently and professionally and gave much helpful guidance.
All of our questions were answered thoroughly and quickly.
As to our experience, we had our own very knowledgeable personal guides and a chef.
The camp was set up with a gazebo, and our tent also included comfortable cots, lights, and fans for our convenience. The food that was prepared was incredibly delicious. We couldn’t believe we were camping and eating such a variety of tasty scrumptious meals.
On our Safari, we were able to see the Magnificent Seven. In addition, we had a rare sighting of the white lion. Day after day, we were surrounded by wildlife experiences that we will never forget. We give our highest recommendation for this company.

One Operator with it All: Knowledge, Experience, Fun
5/5

We did a 4-day/ 3-night Skukuza & Lower Sabie tour with Wild Planet in late May/early June.

From planning to execution, Wild Planet delivered a superb experience offering us a tailor-made, iterative experience that combined elements to address our expectations while fine tuning it with their vast experience.

In delivery- the professionalism we experienced during the planning continued.

Our guide (Ryan) was super knowledgeable about the park and its inhabitants which made the experience one of a kind.

Each meal we had was different, well prepared and delicious.

Despite the amount of work and the stress associated with running a whole tour with a million things to plan, our guide did everything seamlessly and remained fun to be around.

Re: animals, having a knowledgeable guide makes a huge difference in the overall experience- and turns it into a fun, adventurous learning experience.

It is always good to keep expectations tempered when it comes to animal sighting because they are not there to entertain us and we are lucky if we get to observe a slice of their lives. We were lucky to see many animals and observe unforgettable moments and our guide’s knowledge made tangible difference.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

My husband and I spent 5 nights in Kruger (Berg-en-dal, Satara, Skukuza) and one night in the mountains at Blyde River Canyon for a private tour. The experience was unforgettable! Everything went smoothly right from the booking, with excellent support from Thale and a secure payment method. The experience was fully personalized to our needs and there were no issues or surprises. During the tour we were assisted by our guide Chris and chef Hope, both knowledgeable, punctual, friendly, and helpful! The park is beautiful, Chris helped us spot many animals, while Hope prepared sublime meals for us (also with separate vegetarian meals for me!!!). We are extremely satisfied with the experience we had with this company; we highly recommend it!!!

A Safari with great guidance
5/5

My husband and I had a wonderful experience. We did a private safari with a wonderful guide named Ryan. In every ride, he did the best he could to spot as many animals as possible. He had an excelent knowledge about plants and animals and their interactions. He was also a great cook, very helpful and a very pleasant company. We are gonna miss our safari and our guide.

Everything you could want from a safari experience!
5/5

We had an amazing first trip to Kruger with Wild Planet. Chris, our guide has a phenomenal ability to spot animals and birds, the honey badger and tiny Malachite kingfisher were particular highlights and we saw all the “big five” and “ugly five” over the five days. Hope our chef cooked amazing meals, braai were a particular favourite and his cheerful helpful manner also made our whole safari experience very special. We would like to add how helpful Thale was in dealing with our pre trip queries. Overall the experience surpassed all our expectations thanks to Chris, Hope and the team and we would highly recommend Wild Planet to anyone seeking a full safari experience.

The Best Experience of our Honeymoon!
5/5

Our safari with Wild Planet Safari was truly the highlight of our entire honeymoon and an experience we will cherish forever.

From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, reliable, and seamless, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and magic of the moment. What made it even more special was our incredible team. Eric, our guide, was outstanding. His passion, knowledge, and eye for spotting wildlife made every single drive exciting and unforgettable. Hope, our cook, completed the experience in the most wonderful way. Every meal was prepared with so much care and was absolutely delicious, something we looked forward to every day.

There were so many emotional moments, from breathtaking encounters with animals to the quiet, awe inspiring landscapes that made us pause and truly take everything in. It felt intimate, authentic, and incredibly special, even more than we could have ever imagined.

We felt safe, well taken care of, and constantly amazed. You can tell that Wild Planet Safari truly cares about creating meaningful experiences, not just tours.

We cannot recommend this enough. If you are looking for something truly extraordinary, this is it. An unforgettable adventure that will stay in our hearts forever. ♥️

Tangible intangible
5/5

Exceptional tour with Ryan and Thale who we met in the Galapagos at Xmas. It was singularly their passion for Africa that brought us there but little did we know that they would be our guides. We learnt so much and it was worth every single penny. The knowledge that they passionately and enthusiastically passed on to us was truly inspiring. There is no wonder to us that this company is so highly recommended. We are sending many friends their way for sure!
