Amazing Bucket List Experience
5/5

We highly recommend booking your safari with Wildlife Safaris! We had a seamless experience right from the first contact online. They quickly responded and gave detailed answers to all of my many MANY questions. The online payment system was smooth. Then the safari itself was an unbelievably wonderful experience. Our guide Hoppy was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and we managed to see everything we were aiming to see! Truly the bucket list experience that we were looking for!

Organized and well planned tour
5/5

Great communication before our trip, so we knew exactly what to expect. Good quality accommodation and vehicles. We thoroughly enjoyed our game drives, where we saw the Big 5 and lots of other wonderful animals. Our tour guide Brian was a wealth of knowledge, and had great patience for all our questions!

Fab from start to finish
5/5

From receiving a speedy reply to my initial enquiry, to answering my endless questions, nothing was too much trouble for staff!
We were collected on time by our brilliant guide Hoppy, and had a smooth transfer from Johannesburg to Kruger Park in a comfortable air conditioned bus....the icing on the cake was finding out we were the only ones booked on the 5 day Safari & Panoramic Route, allowing endless flexibility for husband to keep shouting, 'can we just stop here', 'what's that bird', 'can we just go back a bit to get a picture'!!

We stayed at Sabie River Bush Lodge, Skukuza & Satara rest camps in Kruger Park, before our final night in Hazyview. Each move was well planned, plenty of time for rest stops and never felt rushed. The monkeys at Satara were absolutely fascinating and very inquisitive! All the accommodation was clean with most things you would need for your stay. The travel back to Johannesburg allowed time to take in scenic stops for more fabulous photos, taking in the green contrast of the mountains after time spent in the park.

We were lucky enough to see lots of animals and birds (not the elusive rhino), but did not go with any 'must sees' being mindful these are wild animals and anything is a bonus! The experience of watching them moving freely in their natural environment has provided us with memories that will last a lifetime.

Our guide Hoppy clearly loves what he does, and nothing was too much trouble. It was a nice touch having an early morning coffee together before we set off, and great to chat over our adventures when we all met up for an evening meal. The only downside was coming home and having to go back to work to save up and do it all again ;)

I would thoroughly recommended Wildlife Safaris - and indeed already have to colleagues, who I hope will book with you for their bucket list holiday!! Thank you once again, it was everything we had hoped and more.

Great Safari!
5/5

Overall the safari aspect of our trip was great. We saw lots of animals and spent more time than expected in the park. All of the lodges we stayed at were very nice, clean, and had great views. Our guide was knowledgeable, and did his best to give us a great safari. My only nitpick would be to minimize US politics talk.

Great value and most professional
5/5

Wildlife Safaris was professional from the time of booking to the conclusion of our trip. They provided an excellent service exactly as described in their tour package. Our tour guide, Anthony “Hoppy” Hawell was a punctual, patient and knowledgeable guide, who knew about all the birds and flora in the park. He made our tour a very pleasant and memorable experience. We are so grateful for having him have as our tour guide!

Excellent tour, spotted the big 5 plus much more.
5/5

What a great tour! From start to finish the tour was run professionally and was extremely informative. Our guide Simon was fantastic. He has been doing tour around South Africa for a very long time, including Kruger, and it was evident. We were very lucky to see the big 5 on our 3 day tour, plus a whole lot more.
The accommodation was nice, we even had Hippos playing in the river outside our accommodation during sunset which was awesome.
The open safari van is a must on any safari, as it really gives you a much better view of the animals. We were given blankets for our morning safaris as it was a bit chilly, and that was great.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Kruger.

Great guide
5/5

The tour was a memorable experience thanks to our guide Simon. Simon was extremely professional, with great experience and deep knowledge of the animals. He was fantastic in guiding us to discover the beauty of Kruger Park. We have really enjoyed our four days, learnt a lot and will bring these memories with us forever.

Nick was fantastic. He helped us see things that we might otherwise have missed.
5/5

Nick was always cheerful. Always informative. The only animal we did not see was a cheetah, but we saw others that people rarely see, too.

Wonderful safari
5/5

This safari was definitely an excellent choice. The food was pretty good, our guides (Hoopy and Bobie) were extremely friendly and attentive. As far as animals are concerned, it was wonderful, we saw a rhino with her calf, we saw lionesses hunting and many more animals. I highly recommend this safari, if I return to South Africa I would choose this company again.

Outstanding
5/5

This is my third time using Wildlife Safaris and each time has been exceptional. The careful attention Christine provided in planning our custom 7 night safari, our knowledgeable and friendly guide Simon, and our excellent driver Hubert, ensured our family of 7 had the trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend this company, as well as including a stay at Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge as part of your safari experience.
