There was a variety of wildlife. The game drive operators seemed knowledgeable at what they were talking about and we had a great time

Everything about my trip was amazing. It was surreal being in the bush and seeing the wildlife. Food and accommadation was incredible. The weather was chilly but didn't bother me one bit. Everyone was extremely thoughtful and nice.

Fantastic safari experience. Skip the cities.

The lodges were fantastic. Especially leopard mountain. Rhino sands and phinda Zuka. Wish we hadn’t wasted our time at the st Lucia lodge. If going back I would just do two lodges. Minimum 3 nights each. I’d choose leopard mountain and rhino sands over phinda.

Our travel agent did an amazing job. Justin at [email protected] picked us up and transported between Durban and lodges. Provided binoculars. Snacks on the trips. It was all last minute booking for us and his advice and recommendations were fantastic.

We then flew to cape town and drove the wine regions. Which are beautiful. Should not have wasted a night in cape town. Stay in stallenbosch instead. Helicopter tour a must over table mountain. Drive/Walk to cape point a must. Will go back but stay away from the cities.

Amazing

We stayed for 3 nights in skukuza and took many morning ,sunset and night drives as well as an afternoon walk. We saw the big 5 and many more animals and birds , it was really incredible. Most drives we went on were from the skukuza camp. Some guides were great ,some less so , it is often also hard to hear the guide at the back of the jeep. I recommend sitting closer to the driver /guide and if possible going for at least one drive in a smaller vehicle with a more private tour. Besides for one chilly morning the weather was beautiful and very warm. During the morning drives around sunrise it's pretty cold so be prepared. We went in the end October so the bush was pretty dry and allowed us to see animals through the trees into the distance. Overall it was an amazing experience and highly recommended!

Amazing Safari-experience with Wild Wings Safari!

I booked a 4-day Safari for 9 people in Kruger National Park with Wild Wings Safari. So I was quite cautious in picking a tour operator so that everybody would make great memories. Overall the experience has been amazing and worth every penny.
The communication with Wild Wings Safari was very professional. Any questions we had were answered very quickly and diligently.
The transfer to Kruger and back was perfectly organized, the driver who picked us up from the hotel was nice, on time, and professional.
The Safari itself was amazing, we had a really great tour guide Sam, who was guiding us through Kruger so that we could see all the big 5 and many more animals. He was a man with great competence and very sensitive to our wishes. He knew the park inside out, which is important if you want to see as many animals as possible.
Finally, our cook Jacques did an amazing job providing us with breakfast and dinner, each of the meals were tasty and original from South
Read more Africa.
All in all, highly recommended, did not encounter one issue with Wild Wings. Safe bet to make your Safari a success!

Weather was very propitious and there were no mosquitoes. The scenery was good accommodation, transport was good and we had a good and informative guide who explained the habits of the various animals we spotted . This was good.

We had an overland tour booked with On the Go Tours. We added to this a couple of game drives in Zimbabwe and another in Johannesburg. In Johannesburg we went to Pilansberg on a drive booked through Mmilo Tours… it was absolutely amazing and our guide Norman was fantastic. In Zimbabwe we booked through Pure Africa for a morning game drive in the Zambezi National Park and an afternoon drive in the Stanley and Livingston Park. Both were more than expected our guides for both were superb. Our overland tour was a camping tour and it was exactly as we thought it would be and we loved every minute. We travelled from Victoria Falls to Jo'burg and it was just long enough. The experience was incredible the camp sites were spotless the food cooked by our chef Martin was delicious. The wildlife … well just as it should be.. wild and free. We spent time on the Okavango Delta too which we accessed on Mokoro which are flat canoes that are poled across the delta by a poler. Here we also spent
Read more time in an African village which was definitely a highlight. We were able to help one little girl and will be contributing to her welfare in the future.

We could not have had a more perfect experience of Africa.

We planned our family vacation to South Africa a year in advance and anticipated an exciting adventure. We were not disappointed! We planned to spend a week at Kruger and a few nights in Capetown. Booked our first day trip at Kruger with a guide from Legends. Stun was outstanding. So much knowledge, so accommodating. We enjoyed the day so much we booked another day with him. Got to see all the animals including the elusive leopard and rhino. Couldn’t have asked for more.
