Highly enjoyable and relaxing tour
Me and my wife went on the trip together with her sister and husband, and after much research, decided to go with wild wings safari. Right from the get-go, the service was top notch. Michael was our point of contact and was patient with our questions and gave us a guide on what to expect and what to do in the lead up to the trip.
Fast forward to the trip itself, and Rufus came to pick us up after our long drive from Johannesburg airport. It was a fascinating 5 days 4 nights spent with Rufus, who was our driver, tracker, cook and guide all rolled in 1. He was not only funny, but also a walking encyclopedia on the animals, birds and even insects that we met throughout the whole trip. Our bellies were well taken care of as well. More importantly, we managed to see what everyone went there for: the Big 5. And to top it off, we got to witness lions feeding on a baby zebra near the end of the trip. It was amazing to see animals up close and how they behave in the wild. We definitely could not have done it if we had done a self drive on our own, even with our many pairs of eyes, Rufus was the one who pointed out most of the animals to us (we could only spot giraffes and elephants), and he still had to direct our eyes to the exact location of the animals. His eye sight is simply amazing. He could spot something that is 700-800 meters out and we were speechless when he told us there were 2 people sitting beside a pool on the train hotel, something that we verified only with the help of binoculars.
A big shout out to the team and especially Rufus for making this trip such an enjoyable one for us, and it is definitely a core memory for us all. Will definitely recommend would be travelers and friends to go with Rufus for an unforgettable trip!

Professional, smooth experience and fun!
Our first safari experience with Wild Wings Safari (WWS) was perfect! From the enquiry to confirmation process, Michael was professional, clear, and quick to respond. It was reassuring that the he provided all the details needed to prepare for our trip, such as a packing list, tipping culture, etc.
Our safari guide, Rufus, made our 5 days extremely fun, informative and exciting. Not only is he very knowledgable about the park and the animals, he made extra efforts to ensure we saw the animals we wanted. We managed to see all the big 5 up close! Besides being a great guide, Rufus cooked yummy brunch and dinners for us and ensured we were well fed. The conversations and stories we shared made the experience all the more memorable!
We are very happy with our decision to go with Wild Wings Safari and have recommended them to our friends. Thank you again to Michael and Rufus for making this trip such a memorable one!

South African Safari Trip: Kruger Park and Victoria Falls Safari - 29 April - 09 May 2025
The tour operator (Tanya) was outstanding—Tanya’s patience and genuine care in crafting the perfect South Africa itinerary made the entire planning process seamless and completely stress-free. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, budget range and thoughtfully tailoring every detail to ensure an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
Everything ran smoothly and seamlessly from start to finish. There were no hiccups, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The staff at each stop were incredibly friendly, approachable, and always available to help, which made the entire journey even more enjoyable. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout the trip. We felt truly taken care of every step of the way, allowing us to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the experience. It was a memorable safari, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or book again.
Highlights of Our Journey:
Africa Sky Boutique Hotel (Johannesburg, South Africa)
A peaceful and charming retreat with warm hospitality—perfect for a restful start to the adventure. Front desk rep was outstanding and helped set-up a tour guide to explore Johannesburg before our Safari journey started.
Southern Kruger National Park
Breathtaking wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes made for an unforgettable safari in the heart of Africa. Nicky was an outstanding safari guide—passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated. She made it a point to seek out a wide variety of animals, ensuring we had a rich and diverse wildlife experience. Her deep understanding of Kruger National Park brought every game drive to life, as she shared fascinating facts and insights along the way. On top of that, she cooked us a delicious dinner, adding a warm and personal touch to the adventure. Nicky’s enthusiasm, expertise, and hospitality truly elevated our safari and made it an experience we’ll never forget.
Kambaku Safari Lodge (Private) - An intimate and luxurious stay with expert guides, incredible game drives, and heartfelt service in a serene setting. This lodge was an extra special spot that exceeded all expectations. The serene atmosphere, personalized service, and attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. The highlight was a beautiful surprise—a private, intimate dinner under the stars to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It was thoughtful, romantic, and truly magical. The lodge staff went above and beyond to make the evening feel uniquely ours, adding a deeply personal touch to an already incredible safari experience. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect way to mark such a special milestone.
Bayete Guesthouse (Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe)
A welcoming oasis with cozy rooms, lush gardens, and a relaxed vibe just minutes from the iconic Victoria Falls.
Wild Horizons Tour of the Falls (Zimbabwe)
A spectacular guided walk featuring awe-inspiring views, rich storytelling, and the thunderous beauty of Victoria Falls.

Our African Adventure
We are 4 friends who planned and booked our African Adventure with Clare from Wild Wings. All the way through planning, confirming and throughout our journey Clare was professional, experienced and friendly. Our tour guide in Kruger was the amazing Nicky. Nicky was a bundle of energy, enthusiasm and passion. Her knowledge was vast and she made sure we managed to get the best pictures.
Our private Game Reserve was Molhalbetsi and that too was great. We went to both sides of Victoria Falls and had different experiences. The accommodation Clare chose for us was perfect. We also went to Chobe and the Jackalberry Lodge and safari gave us another worthwhile experience.
All in all, the flights, accommodation, guides and experiences were exceptional. Thanks for all your assistance. Congratulations on your 20th celebrations, it is well earned.

Perfect Safari Experience! Professional, Fun & Memorable
We used Wild Wings Safaris for a company incentive trip and it truly exceeded our expectations. Ilaria was fantastic from the very start, helping us plan every detail and ensuring the whole experience ran flawlessly. The guides, Simon, Rufus, and Manuel brought so much energy, fun, and knowledge to the trip.
Everything was smooth, fun, and beautifully arranged. Highly recommend Wild Wings to anyone looking for a memorable safari adventure.

Wild Wings Safaris helped us meet all of our hopes and dreams for this trip.
The trip arranged by Ilaria was seamless, filled with spectacular adventures, wonderful accommodations, and amazing guides for our journey. The time of year she recommended was perfect. It was so reassuring that all arrangements were made, including drivers and transfers, flights, and our excursions. Highlights for us, besides the kindness of the people in the countries we visited, were trekking in to see the gorillas and the amazing safari rides. The guides were all so friendly and full of history about their countries. We will definitely recommend Wild Wing Safaris to our friends and family who wish to visit.

Always reliable, they provide excellent service.
Just returned to the UK from another trip to Kruger organised by Wildwings. Clare is always thorough and attentive in designing our holiday. The lodges (Motswari in northern Timbavati then Nottens in Sabie Sands) were wonderful. The transfers between airports and lodges were seamless, prompt, comfortable and efficient.
This is our fifth trip in South Africa with Wildwings and we are already planning our next.
Trust them…..they’re great!

Unforgettable Family Safari with Wild Wings Safaris!
Our family of five (kids aged 14 to 18) went on a Kruger National Park safari with Wild Wings Safaris in August 2025, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. I’m so glad I chose Wild Wings to introduce my children to the magic of the Kruger for the first time.
Our guide was exceptional—by far the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met when it comes to the bush. She understood every aspect of the park, from the big animals to the birds and plants, and her passion and enthusiasm were absolutely contagious.
Wild Wings also handled all our catering, treating us to delicious, traditional South African meals that made each day special. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and the entire trip exceeded our expectations.
If you’re looking for a genuine, family-friendly safari experience, I can’t recommend Wild Wings Safaris highly enough.

Incredible Partners in Planning our Dream Trip to Africa
We have been back for two weeks, and the joy and awe our journey to Africa brought us has not faded. It had long been a dream of mine to travel to Africa, and the experience far exceeded every expectation. It was more beautiful, more meaningful, and more transformative than I could have imagined.
Every destination, every encounter, and every moment was remarkable. The Victoria Falls River Lodge was absolutely lovely—we could have happily stayed longer—and Victoria Falls itself was spectacular. Both The Peech in Johannesburg and The Twelve Apostles in Cape Town were exceptional, with warm hospitality and excellent service throughout. The team at The Peech went above and could not have been more gracious. Our guides at every stop were outstanding—deeply knowledgeable, attentive, and engaging.
Our highest praise, though, is reserved for Londolozi, which was, without question, the most extraordinary place we have ever stayed. The service was impeccable, the safari experience unforgettable, and our guide and tracker truly world-class. We quickly ran out of superlatives trying to describe it all.
Thank you, Clare, and everyone at Wild Wings, for turning a lifelong dream into a reality for me, my husband, and our friends. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. And you were right—Africa is now in my heart, and I know I’ll be back.
