Best Trip ever with our Guide Hoppy!
We did the 4 Day Safari at the Ende of our SA trip and it was one of the Most memorable and amazing tours we did so far. The tour is very welk organized with nice accomodations in the Park, good food and most importantly we had an awesome guide who made the trip perfect! Hoppy is very experienced and such a Kind and fun Person to spend time with that it almost felt like driving through the park with a friend. We saw so much because of his experience and we learned even more from what je knew about the park and all the animals. We can 100% recommend the tour and would definitely do it again the next time we come to SA. Ask for Hoppy as your guide because no Hoppy, no holiday :) thank you for this great trip!

one of the best Trips we ever Took!
We took a 4 Day Safari in November - it was one of the Most memorable and amazing trips we did! Hoppy was our Guide which was the best that could have happened to us. He is a very experienced and Most importantly kind and friendly Person. We can recommend the safari 100% - ask for Hoppy as your guide! We enjoyed the entire Trip so much since Hoppy knows where to go and See really amazing things, he can track the animals and is also a fun and interesting Person to Chat with. The Tour is really well planned with nice accomodations in the park, good food and so much to See! Try to do at least 4 days, it's worth it.
The next Time we come to SA we would definitely so this Tour again, but only with Hoppy because no Hoppy no Holiday :)
Thanks a lot for this experience

A once in a lifetime experience...
My co-workers and I joined 3 other under guide Sue's watchful eye. We saw SO many animals... and of course the Big 5. We spent 2 nights in Kruger, then the last in a private resort. Kruger was rustic accommodations, but adequate... and interesting, including the Baboon that visited our unit when we werent there!! He ate all of my cough drops. Sue kept firm control of us rookies... demanding on-time appearances from us all. She also rotated us every safari (3 a day) so that everyone had a chance to be in a different row on the safari vehicle. Sue is really an eagle-eye, and we saw many animals that don't normally make an appearance. She was very informative, fun, and excellent at her job... we learned so much about South Africa, wildlife, and South African history. I will never forget this experience. Sue was an excellent driver, only wish she wouldn't turn around to look at us while talking and driving... although no issues, just a bit uncomfortable.
Wildlife Safaris was excellent in explaining all their options, and responded immediately to any questions we had while making the arrangements... Thanks Christine!
I plan to take my husband back again later this year, and would deal with no other company than WS... Thanks!!

Pricesless experience!!!
We just finished the 4-day Kruger Park safari via Panorama Route. We had the best time of our lifes made possible by Wildlife Safaris. We enjoyed every minute of it.
We are so thankful and so lucky to have had Clive as our guide. He's the best! As we called him: captain Clive! He does his work with so much passion and excitement. Still after all these years of guiding. It makes him so special; not only as a guide, but certainly as a person!!!!!! He did everything he could to
give us this priceless experience. He went above and beyond.
Thank you Wildlife Safaris. Thank you captain Clive!

Amazing Experience!
Our tour guide was wonderful. We saw so many animals and he made sure that we were able to spend as much time as we needed to view and photograph them. It was a dream come true experience.
Guides, service, accommodation - all excellent. Will be coming back!
We had never been on safari before, but as we were going to be in South Africa on business, we decided to take the opportunity to explore Kruger using a safari company. We did not want the hassle of having to figure everything out ourselves with regard to accommodation, driving through the park etc as we had very little time to plan this trip. So, we took the 4 day panorama route, staying one night just outside Kruger, one night inside, and one night in Balule private reserve. We were a group of three, and were joined for two days by another couple. Our guides were Sue (the first 2 days) and Clive (last 2 days), and they were fantastic - very informative and knowledgeable about all creatures big and small, and good company to boot. They took care of all the arrangements, and we were impressed at how they sorted out even the most minor issues quickly and efficiently (such as being served slowly at a lodge restaurant - like I say, minor details). The accommodation was lovely everywhere that we stayed. To cap it all, Clive took us back to the airport in record time, leaving us plenty of time before our flight home (something we had initially been a bit concerned about before booking!). I have already been recommending this company to friends, and would love to go back on another trip with these guys. Thanks a lot Sue and Clive :)

Tremendous praise for Wildlife Safaris and our guide, Hoppy
My fiancee and I had the pleasure of traveling on safari with Wildlife Safaris in August 2014 for our honeymoon. We chose the five day trip to Kruger and could not have been more pleased with our experience. From the beginning communications, the staff of Wildlife Safaris was professional, prompt, and accommodating.
Our guide, Hoppy, was quite simply outstanding and we'd recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone wishing to book with Wildlife. He was extremely professional and well-versed in his trade as a guide. He was doggedly determined in looking after us, going the extra mile with staff at the various locations to ensure that my wife, who is pescetarian, had excellent food options. More than that, he was a pleasure to share five days with and we consider it a joy and privilege to have gotten to know him as a person.
As for animals, we saw well beyond what we could have expected from the Big Five to wild dogs running along the safari vehicle at night to a honeybadger and much more.

Adventure filled Safari
An absolutely fantastic safari trip! Nik was the best guide a tour group could have. A very organized and friendly company. Very responsive to requests and a staff that was easy to work with. A great safari, lots of animals to be seen, and would do it again tomorrow!

Everything went to plan and the Bush House at Madikwe was great. I have no issue recommending Wildlife Safaris or the Bush House.

With Wildlife Safaris you are in good hands
My son and I did the 4 day classic Safari. From the first exchanges, through the Q&As, organisational aspects, paperwork and tour itself Wildlife Safaris were responsive, helpful and very professional. We were a group of 6. Hoppy was a great guide, very friendly and good humoured. He was worried that the food at the camp might not be good, but it was perfect. We saw all the big five, and much more: cheetah, hyenas....Standard accommodation (bungalows) was well equipped and tidy. Weather was cold in the morning and evening and pleasant during the day. Day 4 consisted mainly in a quick last safari on the way out, breakfast and travel back. Hoppy is a fast driver who should keep more distance with the vehicles in front. I am satisfied with Wildlifesafaris and happily recommend them.
