Competent, efficient, responsive
This is my second Kruger safari with Wild Planet Safari , the first was by myself in August 2018 and the second with my 13 year old son Leo in August 2023 both safaris covered different areas of KNP . Chris was my guide/driver on both occasions … as a biologist and a seasoned safari goer I had several requests and he managed to deliver on all of them . We truly had BBC Nat Geo level sightings. I strongly recommend their services.

Ultimate professional
We’d like to commend Chris for his excellent skills, knowledge & professionalism as he guided us on a full day visit to KNP.
He arrived on time, made sure we were comfortable & kept us informed & updated throughout the tour.
He was a wealth of knowledge about everything we encountered. Also with an eagle eye spotting animals in the distance we would never have seen.
I’d happily do any tour again with Chris.
A proper kind gentleman.
Thank you Chris & hopefully our paths will cross again one day.
Leanne & Tony.

Great tour, would recommend
We went on a 3D2N Kruger tour with Wild Planet Safari. Our tour guide was Ryan, and he was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and birdlife in Kruger. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have no qualms recommending wild planet safari as your tour company for your Kruger trip.
Sensational
Second trip with Wild Planet and again exceeded expectations. Punda Maria south, staying in bush camps. Had many close ups with the Big5 plus Cheetah and Wild Dogs. Ryan can certainly find what we wanted and his meals were excellent. Planning a trip for 2024 and hope that they can excel on our previous

So knowledgeable and caring, clearly wanting us to have an amazing time!!!!
This was my second African safari and by the afternoon of the first day, it completely exceeded my expectations. I traveled with my brother and he was in awe!!! We saw several prides of lions very close up and I will never, ever forget looking into their eyes!!!!

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous!!!
We did the 4-day camping Kruger and Panorama Route and it was fabulous. We managed to see so many animals in our short time in the Kruger and the Panorama route was a trip down memory lane for me having grown up in the area. Such a spectacular part of South Africa. Chris and Hopeson were amazing and we miss them both already. Matt and I highly recommend you book your next safari with Wild Planet. Thank you Guys and also to Thale who does so much behind the scenes and was so helpful with our booking. You guys rock!! We hope to see you all again soon!! Matt and Michelle xx

This safari was incredible!
Wild Planet Safari was absolutely incredible. We went on the four day safari, and our guides Chris and Hopeson were amazing. We were able to see all animals and the Big Five - ranging from rhinos, lions, cheetahs, buffalo, zebras, giraffes, and beyond. Chris and Hopeson were very knowledgable and provided us with a lot of information about Kruger, the animals, and the flora of the park. The food Chris and Hopeson cooked was also delicious - some of the best meals that I have ever eaten. I would recommend this safari to everyone!! It was life changing. We had the best time ever and can't thank Wild Planet Safari, Chris, and Hopeson enough for our amazing experience.

Very professional - punctual, efficient, helpful and well organized; exceeded our expectations.
We did a seven day private camping safari with Chris and Goodwill. They were extremely well organized and always punctual. During setup, knockdown and cooking we were generally on game drives or at a restaurant having lunch - very efficient. Chris was excellent at spotting animals and explaining their behavior. They both went out of their way to make this an amazing experience for us. We saw virtually all available animals including wild dogs and cheetahs. The food was good and plentiful.
We went to four different camps that allowed us to experience different habitats and a wide variety of animals. The booking process with Thale, including hints on where to stay before the safari and how to get to Kruger, was very helpful. Everything was as promised with no additional unexpected costs.

Thanks to Ryan Ker of Wild Planet Safari, we saw an amazing variety of animals in just three days.
We wanted to visit Kruger National Park before leaving South Africa, but we had limited time available. Scrolling through Safari Bookings, we selected Wild Planet Safari, who offered a three day (two night) private safari with transportation from Johannesburg. What a lucky choice! Ryan Ker and his associate met us just outside the park entrance and started pointed out animals right after we passed the gate. We had been on safari before, in Kenya and Tanzania, but with a single guide for multiple guests. A private guide, especially one as knowledgeable as Ryan, enabled us to see far more. The experience was intense, for we awakened before dawn to see animals active at that hour and take maximum advantage of our limited time. The highlight of our trip came on the second morning when Ryan found for us two male lions, certainly brothers, patrolling the edge of their territory, but there were too many encounters with too many other animals to recount. Our down time was spent in our bungalow at the park's Letaba Camp, where Ryan and his associate cooked tasty meals for the four of us. The bungalow itself was comfortable with an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning (although we didn't need it). In short, we packed as much as possible into our three days, thanks to Ryan's expertise and the excellent management of his firm.
