Once in a lifetime experience.
Everything about this experience was amazing. The people were genuine, the animals were awesome, everything about it was authentic. Clear and easy communication to put your concerns at ease. I highly recommend this experience, you won’t be disappointed.

it was the trip of a lifetime
Run Wild African Safaris booked me on a three week trip through Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Africa. I went on Safari in Southern Zimbabwe. Slept in a tent that was unbelievable with a chef, houseboys and a wonderful guide. Travelled to Zambia where I swam at the top of Victoria Falls in a pool at the edge. I visited a tribe and walked in the bush with two lions. Went to Cape Town and the Cape of good hope. Every where I went I was provided first class accommodations and never once did I feel that I was in any kind of danger. The people who met me at the airports, my drivers and guides were both very nice and knowledgeable about the area. I cannot do anything but highly recommend Run Wild African Safaris if you plan to take a trip to Africa

Great experience
Run Wild Safaris has provided us with several fantastic photographic safari experiences! Everything one would need to plan for beforehand as well as while you are on the trip itself, can be catered to your liking. Run Wild Safaris has first hand knowledge, from people who are actually from Southern Africa, and can provide you with extensive knowledge on preferred locations to travel to, how to best coordinate which regions to see and what activities to do while there - all of which were at competitive prices. Its worth noting that Run Wild Safaris will not just simply book your trip for you, but rather, they can guide you from the very beginning stages of planning your trip (visa questions, air travel advice, airport charters, etc.) all the way through to ensuring you have a enjoyable experience while on your trip.
Some of the locations we have visited with Run Wild Safaris include Matabeleland, Kavongo Zambezi, Victoria Falls, Shangani and Chizarira. The accommodations we stayed in at these locations were fully staffed, with chefs cooking our meals daily, camp staff who were readily available, and excursion guides who provided us with insight into the local culture and surroundings in a way that only locals can.
My friends and family have many more places within southern Africa that we would like to visit and we will definitely be utilizing the services of Run Wild Safaris in the future. Run Wild Safaris provides valuable expertise for planning our trips to Africa – and I’d recommend their service to anybody!

Thoroughly investigate prior to booking
Purchased a Safari Via a charity. They were very difficult to communicate with, did not have black out dates, once we started nailing down trip, my dates became unavailable, then they became unresponsive, then when I reached out Charity, they all of a sudden had our dates available but then tried to charge us fees to get to the location of more then $8,000. for a few hours drive. They are suppose to be a non profit however in further research, it is difficult to find information about that part. They had not kept up their paperwork and it had just gotten filed a year prior. We have decided not to trust them on such an important vacation. if they can't communicate now, what would we do in a foreign company. Do your research.
