Trip of a lifetime!
5/5

I first began speaking to Wild Planet Safari in 2017 - when we arranged our first trip to South Africa, a 10day north to south Kruger tour - March 2018

We were lucky enough to have the owners Ryan & Thale as part of this tour - which was an amazing first safari experience for my grandad & I
I won't go into details, as ive already left a review for this but we decided we would like to return to SA for what will probably be my grandads last big trip abroad and Wild Planet Safari were at the top of our list to get in touch with

Thale wasted no time at all in arranging another fantastic tour for us, this time experiencing the east side of Kruger that we didn't get to see previously.

We began with the panorama route with a brilliant guide, who filled the long drive with humour & stories until we met with Ryan & Thale the next day to begin our drive to Kruger.

We stayed at some of quieter camps this year, including Pafuri Border, Batleur and Tsenze, a rustik camp site - this added so much more to the experience.

I've never experienced another tour company and if im honest, I don't need too - these guys are amazing; they have so much passion about what they do.

Ryan's knowledge of everything about the bush, is something else - any question you have, he'll know the answer.

As for his memory - thats on another level, he remembered the tiniest little details & places of particular sightings from our first visit 18months earlier!

Im unsure when ill returning to SA again, but what I do know is that when I do Wild Planet Safari will be my first port of call.

I cant thank you guys enough for the memories, experience, great food, many funs times and the friendship!

I wish you both all the best for the future and hope to visit again sometime, if you come back to the UK anytime - I'd love to catch up.

Wild Planet Safari gave us a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. We were treated extremely well and they were very accommodating. I have referred this company to several friends.
I would not have changed a thing.

excellent experience
5/5

absolute top communication from Thale and Ryan.
Things were clear at all stages.
we did a 4 night 5-day tour.
Our tour guide was Reinhardt + Lungisani and it was a great experience overall. Reinhardt was very considerate and made every effort to show us as many wild animals, birds, flora and fauna as possible. It was clear he is very passionate about his job and enjoys it thoroughly. Lungisani was hilarious and cooked delicious cuisine for us. Overall, we had a fab time and enjoyed the trip.
In hindsight, it would have been better to spend 1 extra night at Satara instead of 2 nights at Letaba.

Excellent Safari Experience
5/5

We had a really good guide, Holly, with us who was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and about the locations in general. The accommodation selection was good. The safari took us quite deep into the national parks and we saw a lot of wildlife including 3/5 of the big five.

Unforgettable trip!
5/5

My husband and I had a wonderful time during our 3 night stay in Kruger. Wild Planet Safari ensured a seamless pick up from a train station in Pretoria and made sure we arrived in the park before it closed. All accommodations and meals were as described. Our tour guide ensured we saw as many animals as possible and was available for any questions.

Exceeded expectations
5/5

I would highly recommend Wild Planet Safari for anyone looking at going to the Kruger. We did a 4 day all inclusive and once again can not recommend them enough. The food was fantastic, the company brilliant and the knowledge of the two guides that we had was out of this world. We really wanted to see the big five and they made our dream come true.
Thank you Wild planet Safari for an absolutely unforgettable experience.
A special thank you to our two tour guides Chris and “Mr Fix It”. Thank you for looking after us, for sharing in your knowledge and being so much fun.
We will treasure the memories forever :)

5/5

Thank you Thale for the great experience. Everything from the beginning till the end was perfectly planned. We didn't have to worry about anything. The transport from and to Jo'burg, the lodge we slept in (amazing), the driver (the little 5 safari) and the extra activities. I will definitely recommend you to others!

A wonderful travel organised by Wild planet Safari
5/5

We were very lucky to have our short tour from May 18 to 20, 2019 in Hwange National Park and Matobo National Park organized by Wild Planet Safari. Lance did not only answered my request very quickly, but also adjusted the whole programm in accordance with our wishes. We appreciate his flexibility very much! Lance accompanied us personally during the whole tour and took great care for everything. The two restaurants booked by Lance for our dinners are located so beautifully with a real ambient, and we, of course, also enjoyed our food very much. The game drive in Hwange National Park was unforgettable. I made some of my best photos there. We are also very grateful to Lance for all the first-hand information not only about the parks and animals, but also about Zimbabwe. Our tour ended in the hotel in Bulawayo, but Lance offered us transfers from the hotel to the airport without any extra charge for this service.

EXCELLENT SERVICE
5/5

We enjoy the Safari and have great time with Chris and Benjamin. They are very professional.

Chris went extra miles, even at the risk of penalty for lake coming back before gate closing, to chase the wild dogs. We were lucky to see 6 wild dogs which is so rare now all over Africa.

Benjamin is a good cook. I am quite a big fan of his chicken curry and garlic bread.

We also did the extra tour panoramic trail today to Blyde River Canyon which is great place as well.
