We had a magical time on our trip with George to the Kruger Park.
5/5

The arrangements were faultless -and thoughtful! The bonus was seeing the big 5, but enjoyed just as much seeing the tortoise cross the road, the baby jackals teasing their parents, the enormous crocodile, and many birds. I could go on..our check list was pretty full!
It was more than we could have hoped for. Thank you so much George and Wildlife Safaris.

Our guide Nik was fantastic. His knowledge of the park and animals, made our trip unforgettable.
5/5

The trip could not have gone better. From the booking to the final day of the trip, there where no issues. Our guide Nik was a great host. He knew so much about the park and the animals, it was like a history lesson. We where a family of 5 and we saw 4 of the big 5, the Cheetah was elusive. We had some close up encounters with the Elephants, Lions, Giraffes and Rhino's. We spent many hours searching for animals and we where rewarded almost at every turn.It was a trip we will always remember and talk about again and again for a long time. I would highly recommend, Wildlife Safari, as a tour group. I could go on but it is a experience you need to see for yourself, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Nik for sharing your knowledge and love for Kruger Park.

Great experience!
5/5

We did the 4 day Classic Kruger Safari with this very professional company. Excellent communication, answered all my questions very promptly by email! Payment was very easy. We did our safari in a closed vehicle due to poor weather. At first we did wonder if we would feel less ‘at one’ with nature in a closed vehicle, but overall this made it more comfortable for us. We did however go in an open truck on the night time safari (on our last night). We saw a huge variety of animals! Big 5 didn’t take long to tick off. Our guide (Hoppy) has excellent knowledge about the animals and is a master at spotting animals from very very far away! Going in October was perfect because it’s not too busy (fewer cars in the park = better chance at getting a good view of the spotted animals!). Also the animals were out and about more (it wasn’t too hot so the animals weren’t away hiding in the shade). The accommodation is pretty basic but always clean, comfortable, and with air conditioning.

My only two recommendations: a bit more down time to ourselves would have been nice (i.e. dinner or lunch to ourselves); and a chilly bin in the vehicle to keep our drinks cool.

Overall we had an unforgettable experience and would definitely recommend this company!

Great tour, excellent guide
5/5

We were booked on the 4 day Kruger Park and Panorama Route and had a really great time from start to finish. Our guide Liese was fantastic, we learned a lot about both the nature and animals as well as about South Africa in general. Thanks again, Liese, for the amazing trip!

Wildlife Safaris and our extraordinary guide Hoppy, made this one of the best experiences ever.
5/5

Organizing the safari with Christine was a pleasure. We were fortunate to have Hoppy as our guide. He was good humored and was a wealth of information on flora, fauna and animal life. We were lucky to see the big 5 on multiple days including the elusive Black Rhino. Our safari exceeded all of our expectations and was the highlight of our ZA visit.

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!

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.

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).
