Big 5 became Big 7 !
We selected Wildlife Safaris because of the quick and efficient response from Christine Duxbury.
The tour was amazing. Everything well organized, lodging, meals, transport.
But it was Hoppy who made us happy. Because of his sharp eye and his knowledge of where to find the animals according to the weatherconditions of the day, we saw so many different animals.
Lots of beautifull birds and the Big 5 plus the extra 2 ( wild dogs and cheetah).Fun and laughter on top of that in our group made it an unforgettable trip. Thx Hoppy!

Professionalism we didn’t meet before
This was our first trip to Kruger Park. We have organized it totally by our self via Internet. Hence we were afraid that the contracts made by remote contact mayn’t be kept and we will lose time by looking for auxiliary solutions. The reality was surprisingly other. The splendor of South Africa and Kruger Park we expected. But the high standard of service offered by Wildlife Safaris was far beyond our projections. We were happy by choosing this company. In the case we will come back to Kruger again without any doubt we ask for service only there.

Amazing Guide, Amazing Time
We had an amazing tour. The safari would not have been the same without our guide Hoppy. From the moment he picked us up in Johannesburg we felt like we were family members. Nothing was too much for him, and he has eyes like an eagle. He would spot animals at a distance and we would take several minutes with the help of binoculars to see the same animals that he spotted just with his eyes. He had a vast knowledge of the animals, fauna and birds and it was easy to ask him questions. We had been on other safaris where the guides treated you as just another tourist, Hoppy made the safari fun and enjoyable and helped all the clients interact together. We saw tones of animals and Hoppy made sure we all had our pictures before we moved on. While not on the safari, Hoppy also made sure we had everything we needed and that we were well fed and comfortable. Can not say enough about Hoppy, we saw some of the other guides, and you could tell they were doing a job, and I just kept thinking, wow, we have the best guide by far, one who is not just doing a job but is also passionate about the environment, the animals and us. Can't wait to go back again.

A most wonderful way to celebrate my birthday!!
We planned this trip to celebrate my birthday in a rustic style - & we weren't disappointed! Mike, our guide was so knowledgeable about the park & its inhabitants, we cant thank him enough!! He looked after our every needs & we all learnt so much about the wildlife in the park. The vehicles were road worthy & comfortable. We enjoyed every moment & would highly recommend this tour
Short 3 day safari with Hoppy
Sorry for the delayed review, my husband and I did a 3 day safari tour with Hoppy, it was a small group with another couple who were lovely to get to know and we still keep in touch with! The food was good and Hoppy was helpful and informative, not just about the big 5 but other wildlife around us, we got some amazing photos!

First time To the Kruger.
We selected Wildlife Safaris because of the quick and efficient response from Christine Duxbury.
The tour was amazing. Everything well organized, lodging, meals, transport.Our guide Sue was a
total mine of information she made the whole tour a pleasant and relaxed time (even the 5 am starts).
We were collected from Johanesburg south and went to Kruger via the panoramic route which made
the start of the tour fantastic to see the beauty of South Africa.

Quick response and personalised service.
The safari was well organised and the guides professional and helpfull. Unfortunately the safari vehicle did not have covers for the side so the first days when it rained we got soaked.

Best safari tour!
Clive was the perfect guide .. We recommended Wild Safari to our friends and family. Our guide struggled to complete our big 5 challenge and succeed!!

A Fantastic Experience
Good communication throughout . The safari itself was organised well, and wasn't cramped. We had a fantastic guide (Hoppy) who looked after us impecibly from picking us up to dropping us off. Would definitely recommend doing the 3 night classic safari with this company.

Incredible experience. Kruger is an absolute must see.
I would recommend Wildlife safaris to anyone. We had a wonderful time. The itinerary was perfect. We chose the 4 day panoramic route and it was perfect for us. This included plenty of game drives so we saw the big 5 more than once up close! Our guide Clive was fantastic and so enthusiastic about the Kruger and very knowledgable. Thank you for an amazing trip.
