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.

The Best trip of 2018 so far. I booked Legend Safaris for Kruger and it was above my expectations.
Thanks to Arun & Team from Legend Safaris, Keep Growing and keep up the good work.

Amazing Safari-experience with Wild Wings Safari!

5 / 5 5 /5

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!

Amazing

5 / 5 5 /5

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!

Fantastic safari experience. Skip the cities.

4 / 5 4 /5

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.

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.

South Africa is such an amazing Country. We spent time in East London Town, Cape Town, Johannesburg and the safari in Kruger National Park. The weather was perfect , the food was amazing and the animals were awesome. The US dollar went so far it was great. I would recommend everyone to go and experience the people, culture and animals

Phenomenal experience

We began our South African adventure in Capetown. We met friendly, warm and welcoming people, experienced great hospitality, all while being surrounded by natural beauty and stunning scenery. Driving the route to Cape of Good Hope offered great hikes with magnificent views of mountains and oceans along with some wildlife viewing. Next was the wine route with it's lovely vineyards, where hospitality was un-paralleled.
Our safari experience at Thornybush Monwana allowed us to see the Big 5 up close and personal many times over along with an untold number of other species. The knowledgeable guide provided amazing insight into the life and habits of these incredible creatures while the Chef provided meals that were second to none in a setting that allowed us to be fully immersed in nature with animals mere feet away from our deck.
Victoria Falls is one of the "seven wonders of the World". Having been to Niagara Falls many times, I can attest that Victoria Falls
Read more is in a class by itself and the Falls and Rainforest are a sight to see.
Al in all, a Phenomenal trip to a beautiful area with friendly people and diverse natural and animal world that we will remember fondly for years.
