Bucket List
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.

A most fabulous and wondrous time.
I am very pleased with our 5-day Kruger safari. It could not have been easier to arrange and I do not know how it could have been more fun. Lynn and Christine with Wildlife Safaris made it a snap to set up the tour via the internet. One or the other were in contact via email and ensured that everything was arranged beforehand. There were three of us traveling together for the safari and we did not know what to expect. Wildlife Safaris specializes in small group tours and for this one it was just the three of us. It was our own private tour! We were extremely fortunate to get “Hoppy” to be our guide. Hoppy quickly adjusted to our idiosyncrasies and was very patient with us. He is exceedingly knowledgeable and has a sharp eye for spotting something interesting while driving in Kruger. He was happy to stop whenever we wished and managed to find an angle for viewing by everyone in the vehicle. I appreciated the fact that he did not spend his time “chasing down” animals, but rather let things unfold. We were drawn to the birds and other animals and not just the “big five.” Hoppy gave us a magical experience in a fabulous country. Wildlife Safaris made it very easy for us.

Perfect days
Our guide, Anthony came to get us at our hotel. As soon as we met him, the holidays began....He's very nice, he laughs all the time. We were lucky enough to be only 4 with him, and we felt privileged. He's a real bushman, with great knowledge about the bush and South Africa, always available, but most af all, he's a great person. At the end, we considered him as a friend and were very sad to leave him.
About the safari, the landscapes are amazing, we could see very animals, even leopards, lions, elephants...
Two weaknesses:
- The visit of the elephant sanctuary after 3 days in the Kruger is not a good thing. Elephants are locked like in a zoo and we didn't enjoy it at all.
- The drive night was not with our guide Anthony, but with guides from the Kruger Park. We had to take a bus for 10 persons, and felt like tourists. It was too crowded. It was not so interesting as it's too dark and you can't see animals.
Thanks to Wildlife Safaris for their availability, flexibility and enthousiasm!

Perfect
Everything was organized in a perfect way.
A qualified and well prepaired tourguide accompained us all the the time allowing us to take the best of our 3day safari tour. The care received made this trip an exciting experience.
Fantastic safari
From the moment we were picked in Johannesburg, we knew we had chosen the right tour operator. Hoppy, our driver, was caring, very knowledgeable about wildlife and looked after us very well. We stayed two nights in the Kruger National Park and one night at Mohltabesi Private Lodge. Our safaris were brilliantly organised and we were fortunate to see many species of wild animals close up and beautiful birds in abundance.
We would thoroughly recommend Wildlife Safaris. At every stage we had personal attention and felt well cared for.
Educational, safe, fun!
The guide was knowledgeable and willing to point out both flora and fauna. Will do it again when the opportunity arises. Enjoyed the variety of game drives and courtesy of the guide.

Top Shelf 4 Day Kruger Adventure with Wildlife Safaris
My experience with Wildlife Safari's was exceptional across the board. Christine at the office was responsive and quickly translated my safari desires into packaged reality, Nik managed the tour and all on the ground logistics with exacting professionalism and safari expertise, and Willem and Kylie were proved extremely knowledgeable and fun guides on the game drives into the bush. The service level was excellent, end-end, and even though the operation was 'very well oiled', the staff were such a pleasure to spend time with it never felt like a 'machine'. It felt like I went on an adventure with friends, and that was the transcendent quality that turned an amazing trip into an incredible journey.

An amazing experience
We're still overwhelmed by our Kruger experience and frequently relive it through our many pictures. The trip was well organised by Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd. Clive was a great guide, providing a wealth of information to accompany our amazing wildlife sitings. Accommodation in Kruger and Chisomo tented camp was excellent. The downside of the trip was learning about the poaching crisis in Kruger and the knowledge that many of the rhinos we were blessed to see will likely have already fallen victim since our visit. We feel immensely fortunate to have seen so many of these majestic creatures in the wild and hope future generations of South Africans will be able to experience the same. We hope Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd will join in calling on the South African government to do everything possible to eliminate this scourge!

Fantastic
The whole experience was life changing, everything went to plan and our guide was brilliant, we saw all the normal thing you expect but what lifted the whole thing was the in depth knowledge of our guide, we saw so many small things and an incredible array of bird life, he was able to name them all, the accommodation was clean and comfortable, the attention to detail shone through and we will be booking again
