Fantastic experience with caring, knowledgeable people
I treated my family to the experience of a lifetime, choosing Wild Planet Safari and I am so pleased I did. We were a group of 5 adults and one child aged 9.
From the first emails with Thale, nothing was too much trouble and we developed a 'plan' together to cater for us from our flights from UK into the Kruger to our flight out 6 days later.
Thale recommended the Call of the Wild for our first 2 nights stay. This was a very special place and offered us our first sightings of wild life in the garden, including giraffe and zebra! We went to see endangered animals and a boat trip, all in the capable hands of Raff, our guide for the time in the Krugar.
We then set off for 3 nights in Krugar park and were joined by Hope who was to be our resident chef. He had a tough job on his hands, with 2 vegetarians and one very fussy 9 year old boy. Hope and Raff provided us with fantastic food including a BBQ and picnics. We all loved the food and Hope gave me a recipe for his special chicken dish!
On the drives, we saw all the usual game but were enthralled by not one pair, but 2 pairs of mating lions. One couple were lying on the edge of the road exhausted from their efforts! We were booked on a night drive (not requested but Thale thought it would add to our experience). We found 5 lions walking in the road on a mission! You could have heard a pin drop despite a big vehicle with around 20 people on board.
At all times, Raff was respectful of the animals and added to our sightings with sharing his extensive knowledge of animals, birds and trees! We could not have wished for a better guide. The pair remained with us until we were safely through security for our onward flight. I think we will all be talking about this experience for years to come so if you are looking for a small, caring company who make everything work smoothly, I would recommend Wild Planet!

Amazing experience in Kruger!
We had the most incredible 5-day safari in Kruger National Park, and I can't recommend Wild Planet Safari enough! From the start, Thale was fantastic, helping us with booking and answering all our questions. Our guide, Chris, was wonderful. His knowledge of the park and its wildlife was unmatched, and his experience ensured we saw all of the Big 5! Chris made sure we were at the gates early every morning to maximize our chances of spotting animals like lions, who are more active at dawn. Our chef, Goodwill, was also great. The meals were delicious. It was fun to eat breakfast at one of the picnic sites in the bush each morning. In addition to the daily game drives, we also went on a night drive and a morning bush walk, both of which were very fun and added to the whole experience. The entire Wild Planet team made sure the trip was tailored to our preferences. Highly recommend going on safari with Wild Planet!

Amazing + Ethical
This was an amazing experience - as someone who has been on multiple safaris across different countries in Africa, this experience stands out for the personalisation, ethical and eco nature of the viewings, wildlife sighting and overall a brilliant experience that was an enjoyment from start to finish. Rafel my guide was a true professional and Thale was great to work with during the planning phase. Kruger’s offering were only multiplied by the service offered by wild planet safari - definitely will be back and will work with them again.

Perfection on Safari
This safari was amazing from the pick up at the airport to drop off. We saw the Big 5 the first day in the park. We were treated like royalty and became fast friends with our guide and chef. Highly recommended! 5 STARS!
