Outstanding!
5/5

We booked the 5 day Kruger Park safari. Happy to say all communications regarding booking as well as other questions were promptly answered by Christine. Accommodations were fine and meals were good. Anthony was our guide and he was great!! Every game drive was a delight as he shared so much interesting information about all the animals and birds we were seeing and we saw many! We never felt rushed and always had time to take lots of photos. Everything about this trip was wonderfully memorable!

One of the best experiences of our Life!
5/5

Sharon and I had one of the best experiences of our life through our 4 days classic tour with Wildelife Safaris. The booking process went through very smoothly and Christine was super professional and assisted us in all the aspects with very quick replies.
Kruger is amazing and our guide Anthony was super knowledgable driving us to the best spots and giving us very detailed info about animals, plants and birds. We got to see the big 5 plus many more. Anthony "Hoppy" contributed a lot to make the experience truly unforgettable, we found the best guide ever and we sadly left a friend. We will definitively be back!

Welcoming, knowledgeable, down to earth and... Phenomenal!!!
5/5

From start to finish the booking and communication with Wildlife Safaris was superb. If we needed any advice they were on hand to provide it.

We were picked on promptly at our hotel by our friendly guide Anthony (Hoppy) and we were on our way in the comfortable and clean vehicle. Hoppy was a fantastic host from the off and explained our route, expected stops along the way and rough arrival time into Sabie River Bush Lodge. His banter is pretty good too, so be sure to have a laugh and a joke with him. It's a fairly long drive, but the time passes quickly as there is so much to look at and a good amount of information to take in.

When we arrived at the first lodge we were not disappointed! Although not a 5 star resort, it had everything you could possibly need and was clean and comfortable. A real treat was sitting by the river with our feet up watching a herd of Elephants grazing right on the opposite bank... The perfect start. Dinner at Sabie was delicious and would cater to both carnivores and vegetarians alike, with a fantastic spread of international food and local delicacies.

The next morning we had a quick breakfast and headed to check in at Skakuza Camp and pick up the truck. Even on our short drive from Kruger gate to the camp we were treated to an abundance of wildlife, including 2 of the "Big 5", it was just the beginning . Once we got through a seamless check in we jumped straight into the truck to start our game drives. To explain the experience would take some talented writing, so all i will say is.... WOW!!! Needless to say we witnessed the "Big 5" and more within our first 2 drives! Once again Hoppy was on hand to impart knowledge about all the species we spotted, and he's happy to answer any question.

The camp itself is very basic, but has everything you require. In our eyes the idea of being on safari didn't require luxury so it was perfect, but if you like a bit of pampering you might prefer different accommodation. They are currently building a new hotel within the camp, once that is completed i'm sure it will be a great place to stay.

Breakfast, lunches and dinners are all included and they were, as expected, fantastic! The steaks are a must try, some of the best I've ever eaten. There's no chance of going hungry!

To summarise, we had the experience of a lifetime and we owe a lot of that to our guide, he helped to make a memory that will stay with us for a lifetime! No matter how much explanation i could've written, this is one thing people just need to do in their lives! Thank you Wildlife Safaris for a PHENOMENAL trip!

We'll be back!

Well organised and a great experience
5/5

Communications before the safari let us know what would be happening and what we needed to do. On the tour itself the tour guides were very knowledgeable and provided us with many opportunities to see the wildlife. Accommodation was good and the food also was good quality. In terms of all the animals we saw, it more than lived up to expectations, along with the visit to the Panorama route.
Would recommend.

Most Unforgettable Trip
5/5

Wildlife Safaris exceeded our expectations. Communication was seamless and my inquiries were answered promptly. I booked our tour a month ahead of the trip and made requests to stay at certain lodges. I was skeptical I would get the reservations but Christine made all my requests happen.
Our tour guides, Mr. Clive and Mr. George, were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The safari experience is something I will treasure and cherish for the rest of my life. As soon as I landed back home, nostalgia instantly hit me because I feel like I left a piece of my heart in South Africa. We saw the Big Five and learned so much about the wildlife. I loved our tour because we experienced safaris in a private game reserve (we stayed at a
private lodge) as well as game drives in Kruger National Park (stayed at camps). Our itinerary also included an evening game drive. Although we were only in South africa for a few days, our itinerary made it possible for us to experience everything. Thank you so much, Wildlife Safaris, for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime! I would like to make a shoutout to Mr. Clive and Mr. George for making sure we had an unforgettable safari experience and to Christine for arranging the best birthday celebration I have experienced so far. Wildlife Safaris is a pro at what they do and the experience of their guests is proof of their excellence.

5/5

Working with Christine at Wildlife Safaris was a pleasure. She answered all of our questions and made it easy for us to book. Our guide, Hoppi, was excellent. He worked hard to find wonderful wildlife and attended to all of our needs. I wish we could have spent more time in Kruger.

We thought a safari would be a once in a lifetime experience, but we can't wait to come back again!
5/5

From the start to the finish the communication with Christine was excellent throughout the booking, and when our guide Nik turned up to meet us he continued to ensure we had an amazing time throughout the duration of our safari. The accommodation, food and guided game drives are of the highest standard and the whole experience is so well organised that it is so relaxed. But what really made this safari tour one which we will never forget was our guide Nik, who was friendly from the start and so enthusiastic towards all the game viewing (even though he's probably seen and described the animals a million times for people), it's like he is seeing them for the first time too, even the impala. We left not really wanting it to end, and even though we both don't really like visiting the same place twice we're sure we'll come back to take another trip with Nik again someday in the future. We did the 4 day Kruger trip via the panorama route, but wish we'd had an extra day now. The weather was great for viewing Blyde Canyon but soon took a turn for the worse, despite that we managed to see some incredible animals at our own pace...the moments watching both mother and baby hyena, along with the 3 cheetah are ones we still talk about on a near-daily basis. If you're even thinking of booking a trip then I couldn't recommend Wildlife Safaris more to anyone, and be sure to ask for Nik.
Hopefully we'll return to see the evasive leopard we didn't manage to spot (pun intended).

Responsive, pleasant, accommodating and professional
5/5

This was my second several day wildlife tour with Clive from Johannesburg to Kruger. His knowledge of the habits and habitat of the animals is impressive and his love of Kruger is infectious. Big five? Two out of two early on the second day. And that just scratches the surface of what there is to see and learn in the park and nearby areas.

We had a great experience with Wildlife Safaris. Previous communication was very clear. Everything happened according to what was in the inquiry. The Safari experience was excellent. Hoppy is a great guide. This was the highest point of our travel.
