Awesome!!!
Everything about this trip was great. Lisa and Hanas picked us up in Jo-burg for our three day trip and dropped us back at the airport after the tour. Our group was large (18) but the tour ran like a well oiled machine. The guides were very professional and fun. We were able to see four of the big five in Kruger (leopard eluded us). I cannot recommend this Safari enough, it was the highlight of our trip to South Africa.

Professional, quality safari that was the perfect family experience
There are numerous safari companies operating in the main Kruger Park and you realise the difference when you get there (quality of vehicles, size of tour group etc). I was very pleased we booked with Wildlife Safaris! We had Hoppy as a fantastic guide for our 5 day safari via the Panorama route. I believe the maximum group size is 6 but we were very lucky that it was just our family of 4 on the trip. That said, even with 6 people, the open sided safari vehicles are geared for 9 people so there is plenty of room to look in both directions. I fully recommend Wildlife Safaris

Amazing experience in the Kruger
We went on a three day trip and didn't want it to end. Hoppy was our guide for the trip and he was brilliant, he was very knowledgeable about the animals and where to see them. He was happy to answer any questions we had and it was great to get to know him over the three days. The experience with wildlife safaris was great from start to finish and I'd definitely recommend!

Amazing experience with top class guide
Having investigated a few tour operators we went with Wildlife due to their efficient and friendly communication and booking process.
We were collected from Nelspruit Airport by our wonderful guide Hoppy who looked after us for our entire trip. Hoppy was extremely knowledgeable and with his expertise we managed to see the big 5. We had early morning drives and a sunset drive to maximise our chance of seeing as many animals as possible.
Accommodation was clean and comfortable and food was courtesy of camp restaurants - all great quality.
I had such an amazing time that I cried when it was time to leave - and I am 31 years old...
Would highly recommend Wildlife Safaris to all.

It was great!
They were very thorough with everything, the guide was very knowledgeable and knew his stuff and made sure we were able to catch maximum sightings. They were very patient with us and made us feel very good.
The accommodation was very beautiful and comfortable. I specially liked the fact that they arranged for accommodation for us in Johannesburg, arranged for us to be picked up right from there and the drop-off at Johannesburg airport, from where we continued our journey to Cape Town.
Their representative was also very responsive and prompt with getting us proper documentation for obtaining our tourist visas.
I would highly recommend them. Great service at a great price.

Kruger 4 day excursion
We had an excellent experience with Wildlife Safari. Chris was very communicative upfront and able to answer our many questions prior to booking. Wildlife booked the entire experience for us which made this part of our trip to SA a breeze. Our guide Hoppy was wonderful and made the trip that much better. He was punctuatual at pick up, made us feel safe, stuck with us every step of the way and has a great sense of humor which we appreciated. He was a wealth of knowledge about park history as well as the animals which made the rides even more fascinating. Hoppy ensured our safety and satisfaction with the accommodations as well which were as advertised on wildlife's site. Hoppy even insisted we get a new room when our AC unit wasn't working properly. The food and accommodations exceeded our expectations. Thank you Wildlife Safari for helping us make great memories.

Knowledgeable, personable, expert guide made all the difference
We cannot imagine a better excursion than the one Liese led us on for four days and three nights.
We chose Wildlife Safaris because of its extensive experience at safaris but also because it was a founder of the trade association that self-governs such outfits and holds them accountable to high-quality consumer service. Liese validated our choice.
Liese picked us up at our hotel in Johannesburg, drove us to Kruger as well as Chisomo Safari Camp, guided us on a number of safaris, dined with us twice a day and then returned us to the hotel afterward.
She immediately felt like family to my wife and teenage daughter and me. She knew how to relate to each of us in various moods at different times, and she endeared herself to us with her stories and the personal interest she took in us.
Her vast experience as a guide as well as a citizen of South Africa helped us gain valuable understanding not just of the wildlife we encountered (including the Big 5) and their environments but also some of the grander forces that have influenced the area and its inhabitants over time. She was knowledgeable, respectful and still enthusiastically curious about everything we experienced on the safari.
When at last we parted ways, we separated from someone who briefly became a close friend.
