Great Safari Experience
5/5

We did a 4 Day Krüger Tour in March 2023. Everything was well organized and Barney was a great guide who even drove the extra mile to show us a Rhino. We saw many animals and all the big 5. Accommodation and Food were good as well. We liked the fact that we stayed at different lodges and got to see different parts of the park.
So, we definitely recommend this Tour!

Amazing experience in Kruger Park, great itinerary and fantastic guide
5/5

We did the 4 Day Kruger Park and Private Lodge Safari tour and everything has far exceeded our expectations. The organization was seamless, the Sales team was very responsive and patiently handled all our queries, and our guide (Nik) was fantastic. We got to see all the animals we were hoping to see despite going in a suboptimal season for Kruger, and this is also thanks to Nik who went above and beyond to help us find them. He would also enthusiastically share his extensive knowledge about animals and the park and made the tour even more interesting. Food and accommodation were great and everything was well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Fantastic itinerary, knowledgeable and caring guide, awesome accommodations & plenty of wildlife!
5/5

From the very offset, Jonathan & Christine handled our queries with excellent turn around times and they answered all our questions. It was our first time in South Africa and they ensured that our safari experience in Kruger National Park was absolutely top notch. The payment was handled securely and quickly and all the instructions about the safari were very clear.

Hoppy Howell was an amazing guide throughout our safari and it was like travelling with a family member. He took such good care of us and he is extremely knowledgeable and caring about the wildlife & the environment. My wife and I love doing photography and videography and he patient stopped the vehicle at every good opportunity. We must have seen more than 50 species of birds and more than 20 species of mammals and an extensive variety of other critters. It was one simply one of the best wildlife experiences for us!

Amazing experience in Blyde river Canyon and Kruger Park
5/5

We had a great time in Blyde river canyon on the way to the Kruger Park with our guide. We were stunned by the incredible landscapes and the animals crossing the road sometines a few meters in front of us. Our 9 years old boy has still the eyes full of wonder. One wish ? To go back...

Our trip experience fulfilled all expectations.
5/5

We booked a 5-day trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa. There were no issues customizing our trip to see everything we wanted to visit. Our tour guide’s name was Simon Tyler. He made our trip experience exceptional. He took complete care of us from the pickup to drop off. In addition, Simon’s knowledge of the fauna and flora of South Africa is phenomenal. He could provide valuable information about any animal we encountered and identify any trees, shrubs or plants local or invasive to South Africa. To sum up, booking our trip and trip was very positive, and we highly recommend Wildlife Safari tours.

Worth every penny
5/5

Choosing a safari company is almost as hard as choosing your safari itinerary. We wondered, "Which is best for our needs? Which would be most accommodating? Which is best value?" We had inquired several safari companies and I knew immediately Wildlife Safaris was the best in many aspects. It had the best customer service with the owner and her representatives contacting us immediately (also answering my abundant questions). Their itinerary was beyond what we asked for and had many options to choose from. This was all before the Safari experience... As for the safari, our guide Hoppy was professional, friendly and most of all passionate about his job, the conservation, the wildlife and his country. He had nothing but great input for any question. Most importantly, he had taught us about wildlife, his nation, the history and the culture about the country. It was more than just a safari tour. It was an overly exceptional experience with a great man and with phenomenal customer service. I respected Hoppy more and more as the days went by. I got to learn about the inception of the company, the hardships overcome and how Christine (the owner) is a great business woman that would let nothing stop her to continue a legacy she has started. I applaud this organization for their efforts. I have never felt more value for my hard earned money on a trip until this safari company. Great work all, you will be getting positive reviews and recommendations as much as we can say it. I will be sending everyone I know your direction.

Wildlife Safaris made our trip through Krugerpark extremely comfortable and enjoyable!
5/5

We absolutely loved our Krugerpark tour with Wildlife Safaris! Our tour guide, Hoppy, was one of the best parts of our trip through Krugerpark. He is a very friendly and funny man who has been a tour guide for two decades and does it for the love of the animals, company and the park. He has great stories and had answers to all our questions in regards to the animals and Krugerpark.
Everything is arranged by the company so the only thing you have to do is show up at the right times and they take care of the rest. We booked the 5 day tour with the private lodge and Panorama route. If possible I would recommend this because this way you can see different parts of the park, a lot of animals (We completed the "Big Five"), beautiful views and different accommodations in 5 day tour. The private lodge was absolutely stunning and offered tours of the private part of the park with was a perfect addition to the public part of the part.
I would highly recommend booking with Wildlife Safaris!
Thank you Wildlife Safaris and Hoppy (!) for an unforgettable safari through Krugerpark!

Fantastic
5/5

From pickup to drop off, our tour guide was fantastic. He was so informative throughout our week together and had everything planned. He spent most spare time confirming plans, reservations and ensuring we received all aspects of the itinerary and experiences. We not only enjoyed all the planned activities and sights, but the guide gave us a history lesson and background information during transfers, driving through towns and regions and on all aspects of South Africa. He would make a great history teacher and newspaper editor.

Will be going back and ensuring we travel with Wildlife Safaris with Simon Taylor as our guide.
