Excellent, knowledgeable guide, fantastic experience!
We were picked up from our hotel promptly by our guide, with whom we spent the next 3 days. He was very friendly, helpful, and most important, he knew his stuff when it came to animals. He looked after us really well, everyone on the camp knew him. When we hadn't seen one of the Big Five, he made a special effort to find us rhino, and you could tell he really wanted us to have that experience, and boy, did we have an amazing close-up with a white rhino. The only thing he couldn't arrange for us was a lion chase. Oh well, next time!

The big 5 and more!
The safari was amazing! We saw every animal we wanted (lions, leopards, cheetah, rhinos, zebras, elephants, hippos, giraffe, hyena, ect). Our guide (Hoppy) was really friendly and helpful. We took the 5 day safari and got to experience both Kruger National Park and a private reserve. It was great to experience both options. Kruger was better in my opinion, less hokey. But the private reserve was able to show us the animals we hadn't seen yet. The food was excellent and there was always plenty of it. The beds were nice too. We felt safe the entire time if that's a concern. I would (and have) totally recommend to anyone. If you're looking to go on a safari, this one is worth the cost and time.

Our trip far exceeded our expectations, which were already pretty high!
I couldn't praise Wildlife Safari's enough. From our initial enquiry when our questions were dealt with helpfully and quickly, right through to the end of our trip. Admittedly the amount and variety of wildlife we saw made a difference, but the guide, attention to detail, standard of accommodation and scheduling were all excellent.

Fantastic safari with an excellent guide
We went on a fantastic four-day Kruger safari. This was our second trip with Wildlife Safaris, and we wouldn't hesitate in going again. The booking process was very smooth, and professionally handled by Christine. Our guide, Hoppy, was very knowledgeable and he was a pleasure to have as a guide. He was always tailoring the safari to our interests in order to make it the best experience possible, and he definitely succeeded. We saw many different animals and we had a great time. This safari was the highlight of our two-month trip to Africa and Europe.

Panorama Route to Kruger Park
We had a wonderful trip to Kruger Park. Christine was very efficient in getting back to you and answering any concerns prior to our trip. Our guide, Hoppy, was very knowledgable and easy going. He had a great eye for spotting animals. We stayed in some unique accommodations and had a wonderful stay in Skokuza Rest Camp. I would recommend booking thru Wildlife Safaris.

Fantastic experience and excellent organization
Communication was efficient but there were a few small bloomers on the way (mixing up Kruger with Madikwe).
Service was excellent, we were picked up at the airport on time, traveled on a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus with a friendly driver who gave us a guided tour. We were excited when we entered the Park as our driver pointed out the impala, giraffes and zebras. The accommodation was wonderful and we received a warm welcome from the owners of Bush Lodge and the rangers. The garden there is beautiful and the water-hole and hide at the bottom of the garden were the icing on the cake. Elephants, lions, impala, zebra, giraffes,waterhogs, rhinos came daily to enjoy the water, as though for our benefit. The ranger-guided tours were exciting and it was great to see cooperation among the rangers in tracking and locating the big 5. Seeing the big 5 at close quarters was nerve-tingling but amazing as the animals either didn't move (lionesses) or just walked by the jeep without paying us any attention (elephant and lions). A bonus was the dramatic starlit nights. Seeing southern hemisphere stars and constellations clearly for the first time, with the expert guidance of our ranger, was particularly exciting for me from the Northern hemisphere. On our last night, we were entertained with traditional local singing and dancing by the Lodge staff. All in all, a fabulous 3 days, highly recommended.

Very enjoyable trip with a well thought out mix of activities.
We booked the 5 day Kruger Park, Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge and Panorama trip for lat February 2015. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We saw as expected, many different animals (and a great many impala) on a number of game drives. Our guides were very knowledgeable and informative. Accommodation was to a high standard as were the meals. The panoramic views in the Drakensberg mountains were spectacular.

Fulfilled a 50 year old dream
This was a truly memorable experience. Having been fascinated by the natural world from an early age it was wonderful to see the big five (and so many more) in their natural habitat. Our guide was extremely good at identifying any animals or plants. My only criticism would be that I would have liked to learn more about specific creatures, it seemed a little like a "box-ticking" exercise. I would certainly go again like a shot, but would try and make it a more "academic" trip.
