Rufus was AMAZING - went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable!
Clare was an absolute pleasure to work with when planning our trip to South Africa. She took the time to understand our travel preferences, and put together multiple different versions of the trip after we flip flopped plans on her several times. Each customized plan was exactly what we asked for, and she was so patient and accommodating with our changes and tweaks. Once the plan was finalized, Clare was very communicative and gave us clear next steps and clear expectations for the trip which was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable in their hands. As for the trip itself, everything Wild Wings Safaris put together was executed to perfection. The three day safari in Kruger was outstanding - I cannot sing Rufus' praises enough. He went so far out of his way and used his incredible knowledge of the park and animals to make sure we had the experience of a lifetime. We saw all big 5, wild dogs, and learned so much with Rufus. He was so much fun to spend time with and the dinners were some of the best meals we had on the trip! On top of the Safari, every other element of our trip was taken care of expertly. Not a single hiccup the entire time with the logistics and the pieces that we relied on Wild Wings to handle. I would use their services again 1000% and highly recommend Wild Wings for anyone planning a trip to the many places and experiences they service. Many thanks again to the entire team for making our trip spectacular!

Highly professional and reliable tour company
This was the fifth trip to South Africa that WildWings Safaris have planned for us and was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
We decided to concentrate on game watching in the Greater Kruger area and used Clare again to plan the detail. She’s attentive, prompt, thorough…and patient with us, helping us to choose two family run camps,- Motswari in Timbavati and Nottens in Sabi Sands. They were both perfect for our needs. We had lots of wonderful sightings, great food and exceptionally friendly service.
The transport arrangements made by Clare ( internal flights from Johannesburg and private taxi transfers between camps) were seamless and made the logistics of the travel comfortable. These were very affordable by the way!
Back home less than two days and we’ve already asked Clare to put together our next trip to South Africa.

Awesome Safari Adventure
Can’t say enough about Wild Wings Safaris and the trip they put together for all 11 of us. I contacted 5 other safari companies and not one came close to the professionalism and responsiveness of Wild Wings. And the itinerary developed and the lodging quoted, we knew we made the right choice.
And looking back on the trip, we had no issues or glitches along the way. And I can’t speak more highly of the lodging our Tour Consultant, Tanja, set up. The people working at these places were exceptional. And a shout out to Baobab Ridge Private Lodge near Kruger. A truly hidden gem!
I could go on and on, but let’s just say, thanks to Wild Wings, what a trip of a lifetime we had.

Trip of a life time
We had the best time on safari - hands down one of the best trips and experiences we’ve had. The pick up/transfer with the external company and then wild wings into the park was super smooth, as was the trip back to J’burg for us on the transfer bus for our evening flight.
The safari itself was exceptional - we felt 4 days was perfect for us - we were really fortunate to see the whole magnificent 7, and the way the guides communicate with each other to help ensure that all clients get a great experience in the park was fantastic. We were the only people on our safari and the experience of having our guide Rufus to ourself and timings / locations then being entirely flexible was excellent - we were surprised at how little free time we had by the time we’d been out on a drive, detoured to various sightings and then popped back for a brief lunch, before back out again and home for dinner.
Accommodation was simple (as described) but perfectly clean and serviceable for what we needed. Rufus cooked for us each evening, and this was also great - plenty of tasty and varied food. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Rufus and sitting to eat with him; the opportunity to eat as a group with others on safari or have the option to go to the camp restaurant for dinner would have been an added bonus but this isn’t to say the food and experience we had wasn’t great! Both of us were astonished how nice ostrich was and the meals Rufus did were delicious, with us still then having a few hours in the evening before sleeping ready for the next day.
A really fabulous trip with great communication and smooth pick up/organising. We would (and already have!) recommended to friends/family as a fantastic tour provider.

Excellent safari!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Wild Wings! Our tour guide, Nicky, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see all of the big 5 (we realize this is not guaranteed) and many more animals as well. The trip was comfortable, the food was great, there was absolutely nothing to complain about. I highly recommend Wild Wings for anyone looking for a Kruger safari!

Very good service
My husband and I went on a trip to South Africa for 11 days in the end of June. We stayed 6 days in Cape Town and 5 days in Kruger Park at the Baobab Ridge lodge area for a safari experience. All the pick ups and tranfers to and from the airport and between places inside of South Africa worked out very well, the service was very good and efficient. The communication between us and the operator was impecable. All our questions were answered and everything was organized with detail and caution. The operator was also very easy to reach out at all times before the trip and also during. Our guide in Cape Town was very knowledgeable, she knew a lot about not just the history of the country, but also about endemic vegetation and wild life. We definitely learned a lot with her, which was amazing. She also knew where to get certain things that are traditional in south africa. She also bought me a lip balm for my dry lips. Very caring and thoughtful. We spent one day out in the ocean for a shark cage experience. Very unique and all worked out pretty well too. In the Kruger Park at the logde where we stayed, people were very nice, the facilities were great, pretty luxurious. The food was so delicious, I am pretty sure the cook was a top chef. The guides in the safari were very nice and we also learned a lot with them about the animals and the surroundings. It felt really crazy and spectacular to see the animals in their habitat and so close. It was a fabulous experience and I truly recommend this company to organize such a trip.

An amazing experience of a lifetime!
We just returned from an amazing 5-Day Best of Kruger Safari with Wild Wings Safari. If you are thinking about booking- don’t hesitate. Here’s why:
Clare’s coordination of our safari and prompt communication set the tone for our trip. We felt like we were in good, solid, professional hands from the start.
This professionalism, warmth and “heart” carried through to our Safari experience with Simon, Nicky and Doug. Our Safari experience truly exceeded our expectations. We got to see the Big 5, went on a bush walk and night drive. Our guides were a blast and were so knowledgeable.
Having Doug cook our delicious meals was a delight. We appreciated his thoughtful menu choices and preparation. Our family/group meals together was a highlight.
Thank you so much to the Wild Wings Safari team who made this experience so fantastic and accessible! We had such a wonderful time as a family!

Unforgettable experience!
Clare from Wild Wings Safari helped us plan the trip of a lifetime. We stayed in the Bush for 4 nights but didn't want to leave. We heard lions roaring in the middle of the night while we were gazing up at the Milky Way. Clare arranged our transportation so that we could meet up with our friends who went on a different type of safari (ours was much better! ;). Our trip was everything and more than we had anticipated.
