My safari was a week in the Kruger Park, a magnificent event in my varied 74 years! Frank, the guide, was perfect to his fingertips sighting Cheetah, Lions and on one occassion herds of Elephant drinking from the Timbavati river. In Klaverie, a private reserve ajoining Kruger, l saw two different pairs of Rhino, close-up, grazing peacefully on the savanna and Spotted Hyaena cubs all black fur and big eyes sheltering in their lair. Even Hyaena cubs are cute! Just some of God's creatures l saw on my morning and evening drives in an open safari vehicle. Accommodation was comfortable at the "Old Olive Tree Tented Camp" just outside Orpen Gate. A real bush experience, but with comfortable private facilities. In Klaserie "Baobab Ridge Lodge" is 5 star luxury where you are pampered and your every need is catered for. All meals were excellent at both camps. Just some comments for you, the reader, to consider if you are planning a trip to the African bush. Thank you Madi for your professionalism in attending to every detail of my African adventure Your care and consideration for my every request was much appreciated and to Dianne for ensuring that there was never a hitch on my travels. Visit South Africa with Wild Wings they really are a

A Faultless experience and great value for money
My wife and I have both been thinking of something negative to say about our safari and experience with Wild Wings, but we come up blank. Everything from the very informative website, ease of booking and payment, organisation and detailed information of our personal safari and guide, was exceptional.
We really appreciated them responding very timely and fully to any questions we had. We must also mention that our guide, Sam, did a fantastic job in spotting things and educating us. The way he communicated with other guides to make sure we didn't miss anything was excellent and I'm sure he is held in high esteem with his peers.
We made a good choice booking with Wild Wings and thank you very much for making this once in a lifetime trip exactly what we'd hoped for We would definitely recommend WW to anybody for efficiency, planning and value for money.

Unforgettable experience, Excellent service
First of all just wanted to thank Corlie at Wild Wings Safari to facilitate this amazing tour for me. She is so patient, attentive, passionate for her job and responsible! I was travelling solo with restricted dates for the safari but she managed to organized it for me in the best possible way. Many thanks Corlie.
I was picked up from hotel in Johannesburg by Vula Tours and drove all the way to to Skukuza camp. The driver was nice, social, funny and gave us whole lot of information on the way to the camp.
The bungalow was a very basic accommodation but air conditioned.
Tour was exceptional, a trip of a lifetime and fantastic.Sam, our tour leader, was great, knowledgeable and tried to spot as many animals as he could.
Before I forget, huge thank to chef Jack for preparing the amazing authentic to SA brunches and dinners.
Thanks again Wild Wings for this amazing tour!

Excellent service again and another wonderful trip to South Africa
From the onset, Clare was excellent in her planning, tailoring her recommendations for lodges around our needs and prior experiences. She was always prompt in responding to our queries. Her final plan was just what we wanted...and more. This led to a fantastic 20 day trip round Greater Kruger.
We visited Ximongwe in Balalule (an eco camp with wonderful hosts, Ronell and Johan), Satara and skukhuza on the Wildwings four night safari, led by the irrepressible Nicky who found us a rich variety of game, Nottens in Sabi Sands ( perfect again!) and another camp new to us, Bataleur Safari Camp in Timbavati for three nights. This last camp, newly refurbished and recommended by Wildwings was a delight with guide Brad and his partner Sophia offering great guiding, food , sightings and a warm welcome.
Our private transfers, organised by Clare, were prompt and efficient in new vehicles with experienced drivers.
We could not have asked for more so many thanks to Wildwings.

Absolutely amazing, stress free, excellent!!
My dad and I travelled to SA together for 10 days in February. We had a few days in Capetown, did a 4 day safari at Inyati game lodge, Sabi Sands game reserve and finished off with a full day in Johannesburg. What an absolutely amazing experience!! Madi booked everything for us and it couldn't have been better. Everything from drivers, accommodation, domestic flights was arranged and we only had to think about having fun and enjoying ourselves. We rate everything a 10+ :-). We had an unforgettable experience and want to thank Madi and Wild Wings for this awesome trip! We HIGHLY recommend them! Nothing is too much trouble, such an easy way to book and travel. We also travelled with Wild Wings 2 years ago and had the same experience. If you want a stress free trip with absolutely nothing to worry or think about, book through Wild Wings!

The most magical safari I have ever been on!
Just a short note to say thank you so much for organising our safari , from start to finish we had the most amazing time! We booked through Madi - she was extremely helpful and professional and answered all our questions promptly and thoroughly!
We were lucky enough to have our guide Nicky and the open vehicle all to ourselves which made our honeymoon even more special.
We managed to see the Big 5 twice and then some. Nicky was a wonderful guide who did everything in her power to provide us with the most wonderful sights , her knowledge of the area and the animals was so interesting, we learned a lot from her. The accommodation at Lower Sabie was just perfect , and the food cooked and provided by Nicky was fantastic.
The only problem with our safari was that it was too short and we wished we could have stayed longer!!!!
Thank you so much again , you were fantastic to deal with. I will highly recommend Wild Wings to all our family and friends. Please pass on our thanks to Nicky!

Perfect Experience
Absolutely perfect! The best trip we’ve experienced. Simon, our guide, was a gem possessing an outstanding blend of knowledge and personality. The accommodations were comfortable with nice rooms. Chef John provided impressive culinary experiences and was extremely talented in preparing traditional South African dishes accompanied with historical background of the meals. Overall, great culinary experience.
Thank you, Simon. You're the greatest! All together it was a remarkably unforgettable experience - very friendly staff and excellent game drives. We would definitely book again. A perfect stay and safari experience!

Definitely a 5-star experience
Madi's kind, patient and professional attitude was amazing. All questions during the booking phase were answered swiftly and in detail. All our arrangements worked out as planned, we faced no hick-ups along the road at all. Our safari guide, Simon, was truly special. The game drives were great and Simon's inspiring attitude made our visit to the Kruger national park truly special. Last but not least, he can cook a great meal as well. We can recommend Wild Wings Safaris to anybody who's looking for that special experience in South Africa. We will certainly not hesitate to book with them again on a next occasion.

Wonderful
Gavin of Wild Wings Safaris customized an itinerary for us based on our preferences. The safaris both at Kruger National Park (stayed at Skukuza camp) and at Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge (Balule Reserve) were great. Everything was well organized and we had no problems with accommodations, transportation, etc. A once in a lifetime trip for us.

Unforgettable Trip
After doing some research and reading online reviews I contacted Wild Wings regarding their 5 day Best of Kruger safari. Gavin from Wild Wings replied to me immediately and promptly responded to any further questions I had. On the day of my arrival at Nelspruit Airport I was collected and brought to the gates of Kruger Park where I was met by Nicky who was to be our guide for the safari. The next 5 days were absolutely brilliant. We spent 2 nights in the Skukuza camp where our chef John provided us with great breakfasts and dinners and 2 days further north in Satara where Nicky herself was our own personal chef. The meals she made for us were fantastic aswell. Nicky was a brilliant guide with an excellent knowledge of the park, it's animals and plant and tree life. I would highly recommend Wild Wings for anyone looking to book a safari in Kruger. Everything went as smooth as it could have from my initial email to Gavin right up to being dropped off at Jo'burg airport by Nicky on my last day and all at a very reasonable price.
