Wild Wings Safaris - Never ceases to amaze me
Being my Fifth booking through Wild Wings Safaris , I already knew that my adventure would be one to remember. Once again , Dianne from Wild Wings organised Everything , from internal flights,accomodation,transfers and everything in between. This time I opted for a 4 day stay in Balule with everything included ,including game drives and meals , from there I spent 4 days in the Kruger National Park on a spectacular Wild Wings Safari. Simon our guide was amazing , full of knowledge , a wonderful cook , great sense of humour ,he really knows how to make your stay a memorable one.The game viewing was incredible , Simon always doing his best to please everybody.
Dianne also organised my following few days in zimbabwe , spending time in Hwange NP and Mana Pools NP. I was totally blown away by my whole trip , Dianne , Simon and Wild wings Safaris never cease to amaze me , always living up to, and beyond, my expectations. Thankyou so much for once again giving me so many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Your The Best.

Fantastic 5 Day Best of Kruger Park Safari - surpassed all expectations
Traveling with Wild Wings Safari was a fantastic experience! one I plan to repeat this year. The admin and communication during planning was excellent and from our collection at the airport by our guide Simon - it couldn't have been better. Simon was our guide , cook and driver - and while being very professional and a great cook, his experience and knowledge made this trip unforgettable. Simon made this a memorable trip I can't wait to repeat. This is an excellent option for anyone who wants a fantastic Kruger Park trip with someone else managing all the food, travel, accommodation and takes cares of all the arrangements.

Exactly What You'd Hope!
We went as a group of educators and zoo staff from Minnesota, with a mixed background in what to expect. Simon was our main guide and could not have been a more perfect host. We felt like we got the absolute best animal sightings and anecdotal information possible. The homemade food, camaraderie and lodging were also great. We went in winter, so it was easy to see the animals that were out, and Simon was great about letting us view and take pictures to our heart's content. We saw everything except a cheetah and wild dogs. I would absolutely book with Wild Wings again, and hope to bring my family.

Fabulous experience with Wild-Wings-Safaris in Kruger Park
From the very beginning of our planning for this trip, Clare, our Wild-Wings agent, was totally on top of every detail and e-mailed frequently to keep us up-to-date. Simon, our guide for the 5 days, was outstanding, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He went out of his way to be sure we knew what was going to happen everyday and was a wealth of information on mammals, birds, reptiles, terrain, and the environment. He also had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great cook! We will definitely recommend Wild Wings to our friends knowing they will thoroughly enjoy this Kruger Park safari.

Once in a lifetime experience, saw the big 5, twice, Simon was an outstanding guide.
From the time I enquired Clare was efficient and booked our safari as we wanted, we did the Panaroma route wanting to see the countryside. We were picked up in Jo-Burg by Gap Transfers on time and driven through to Laughing Waters Guest Lodge which Clare had booked, it was a great overnight stay with Carole and Gavin making us feel the most important guests with delicious meals. Next morning we were collected by Simon who took us to Kruger for our first leg of our 3 day 2 night safari. As we are seniors Simon was patient and understanding of our requirements. He gave us the best opportunity to take the very best photos moving the truck around to get the best shots. We saw the Big 5 and after our safari we returned to beautiful meals prepared by Simon. After our 3 days we were off Elephant Plains Lodge, where we were greeted with a glass of champagne and taken to our luxury room overlooking beautiful grounds with animals grazing. This lodge also provided 3 meals daily with 2 game drives, the setting and staff were most friendly and efficient. We could not speak more highly of Wild Wings Safaris, they met all our needs and it will be a holiday to remember, we highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to see wild animals in their natural habitat.

Perfect safari experience
If you are looking to go on safari and have no idea where to begin...book with Wild Wings! Claire was knowledgeable, professional and arranged the perfect trip to Kambaku Safari Lodge (see separate review for Kambaku on Trip Advisor), that has run smoothly and efficiently. She offered advise and sent thorough documents and additional information, without which, I would have gone unprepared. (Who knew that you need to take a baggie with toilet tissue into the bush!) Well done and many thanks.

Wild Wings Safari Are Simply The Best In Business
Just returned from a big trip from Africa. We found Wild Wings Safari on the tripadviser. From the first contact we had with Madi about a year ago, Wild Wings' approach is the best level of personal and friendly service, meticulous attention to detail, and thorough preparation and follow-up. Me and my daughter had 25 days of travel, 5 days in Namibia, more than a week in Botswana, 3 days in Vistoria Falls and then rest of the trip in Kruger and Cape Town, Madi in Wild Wings planned everything and all was done with complete honesty and integrity. Such a company is truly a rare find these days!
We never expected our trip so smoothly &successfully, considering about so many places, so many transfers through land and air, expecially air, we could not do it without Madi's countless hours helping us create that perfect 25 day Safari that suited all our needs. We just really enjoyed our great trip and we even more appreciate Madi's hard work.
We will definitely use Wild Wings again for our future Africa trips!!!

4 day tour to Kruger National Park
Outstanding experience and the trip of a lifetime. Our guide was excellent both at finding and spotting game. In addition Neil was a gourmet cook and kept us well fed and warm (blankets on morning game drives). We also got an interesting history lesson on the Anglo-Boer War and the first uso concentration camps. Neil is a true Renaissance man and greatly contributed to our tour.

Excellent service and driving, have seen many animals with a guide having a lot of experience
The service was very good. Our guide was always in time, he prepared almost every meal for us. We were a small group and our guide drived us to the best places. We saw elephants, zebras, girafs, hyenas, baboons, eagles, voltures, crocodiles, hippos, rhinos and lots of impalas. Far away we could discover some cheetas having their meal. One lepard was crossing the road marking his area. Besides we loved the outdoor breakfast in Krüger with a great sight over the park. And the barbecue in the evening was also excellent. Our guide telled us a lot about the animals and life in South Africa. So it was very interesting for us Eurpeans.

A dream come true!
We just returned from the most incredible trip to South Africa, thanks to Wild Wings Safaris. From first contact with our consultant, Madi, to our departure after 2.5 weeks in the beautiful country, everything was fantastic. Our trip included a couple of day tours near Johannesburg, 9 days in the Greater Kruger Area, and 5 days in Cape Town. I emailed back and forth with Madi for a year, and she helped me plan the perfect trip based on our budget, style, and needs. This was our first time travelling overseas, so we had many questions and concerns and Madi answered them all. The main focus of the trip was to fulfill my Dad's lifelong dream of going on safari, but we did and saw so much more.
Everything went so smoothly. All of the service we experienced was absolutely fantastic, everything exceeded our expectations. All of our accommodations were great, the food and the service outstanding. We would go back to any and all of them!
Of course I must mention our time in Kruger with Simon (co-owner of Wild Wings, and guide extraordinaire), what a character! We had such fun with him, and were so impressed with his knowledge of all things wild. We saw so much wildlife, and it was so great how we were able to learn so much about birds. We saw all of the big 5, and more, including leopards and cheetahs. He must be one of the best guides in the park! The food was also great - he was so well prepared and we enjoyed all of it. A huge huge thanks to shoeless Simon! We really got a kick out of him.
I highly recommend a safari trip to South Africa; the people are friendly, the scenery is stunning, and the wildlife is abundant and amazing. The service and advice we received from Wild Wings made this trip outstanding and truly worry-free. I can't say enough about this company. I will be using them again in the future, and recommending them to friends. Thank you, Wild Wings, our trip was truly a dream come true!
