An unforgettable experience!
We had 4 of the most fantastic days of our lives in Kruger Park in February 2016 with Wildlife Safaris.....Hoppy was an excellent guide, for whom nothing was to much trouble. He has an in-depth knowledge of the bush which he is keen to share with his clients and which he uses to great effect in finding the wildlife....through his efforts we'd seen the 'Big 5' by the afternoon of our second day...The rest camps were in fantastic locations with great views of the Sabie river and the wildlife which come to drink from it at dawn and dusk.....This really was a most memorable experience provided by a fantastic guide and a company with a vast experience of providing quality safaris...thank you so much and see you 2017...!

Excellent Trip
We took the 4 days Kruger tour, including 1 night at the Mohlabetsi private safari lodge, one night at Satara and one night at Skukusa. I had been on a Wildlife Safaris tour in 2007 which was excellent, so I didn't hesitate to book with them again. As in 2007, Clive was the guide. Clive is a fantastic guide and professional. He is totally committed to making sure you see as many great things as possible, and when we were on the public park drives he talked to the drivers prior to the drives to tell them up to the minute spottings. He did everything he could to make our holiday fantastic, and it really was. We saw all the big five, with a number of very good leopard sightings. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would certainly book with Wildlife Safaris again.

Excellent safari and brilliant guide!
We went on a 3 day safari over New Years Eve 2015. Hoppy was the name of our guide, he was so knowledgable about all the different animals, birds, creatures. He was also so patient with us and great company, we were very sad to leave him after spending 3 full days with him, he is such a great person all round, a pleasure to have met him. We seen all of the big 5 in our time there, even on the first day we seen nearly everything we needed to, so the other days were just an added bonus. The communication from the office staff was great, they arranged to pick us up at an address where we were staying with friends instead of the airport and called a few days before, then a day before to confirm everything. I can't reccommend this enough, we expected the food would be a canteen with "self serve" basic lunch/dinner but actually it's a lovely restaurant where you can chose whatever you like from the menu for dinner, lunch is at any other place you stop at whilst out on the safari, again you order what you want and it is included in the price. We were also the only two on our trip, in a dedicated air conditioned van, where we expected to be amongst a large group, another bonus. We did go out on a safari one night with the resort in an open top bus and a guide who works at the resort, this was pretty awful, the guides have no respect for the animals - racing around at high speeds just trying to get from one place to the next to enable a "big 5 spotting" regardless of any other animals you could see on the way. It made us realise how amazing our guide and safari trip was, and also how grateful we were!
We will never forget Hoppy our guide, he was just brilliant, we have such great memories of our trip with him :-)

Amazing African Safari
From the time we began our booking enquiry to the time we returned from our trip the customer service with this company was outstanding. Christine was very responsive, helpful and insightful about what to expect, what to bring, where we were going and assured us that we would enjoy our trip – my gosh she was right! Our guide Anthony ‘Hoppy’ was a wonderful man who made sure we made it into the Kruger Park when our flight was delayed into Jo’berg on the first day, and his knowledge of the local area and the Kruger Park itself was amazing.
We were a family of 5 from Australia travelling together and luckily ‘Hoppy’ was our personal tour guide over the next 4 days. Hoppy was up first every morning ready with coffee and biscuits for us before the early morning drive, and breakfast, and would teach us something new each day. Hoppy has been a tour guide in the Kruger for some years and this was evident as he knew all the spots of where to find the animals and would allow us time to stop for photos whenever we wanted. We saw all of the Big 5 on numerous occasions, except for the Leopard which eluded us, however we saw many other animals which amazed us, including two rare white rhino – Hoppy even gave us a check list to mark off the animals which was great!.
We stayed at two rest camps over the four days, and they were both clean, had good facilities and were of a decent standard (aircon, fridge, shower and little balcony) – they were not 5 star but I didn’t expect that either, you are in Africa after all. The dinner at the restaurant at Skukuza camp was very impressive and the selection was endless, additionally all other camps were serviced by a ‘Mug and Bean’ which was also very good, believe me you won’t go hungry!
Thank you Wildlife Safaris for being a wonderful ambassador for tourism in South Africa, I would recommend your company and ‘Hoppy’ to everyone. We will be back some day, hopefully sooner rather than later!
Thanks – The Johnsons (Leanne, Gab, Charmaine, Charles and Bianca)

Life memories began here.
I cannot thank Wildlife Safaris and their wonderful guide Sue Wilson enough for my wonderful time in Kruger National Park. I went on a 4 day safari. I was picked up and dropped off at my lodgings in Johannesburg. Great accommodation and meals included. Very good value for money. The company was very professional. The guide was fantastic. I traveled ion my own and joined another 6 people for my safari. I recommend this Safari and this company to any one who wishes to have a unforgettable time with true value for money.
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.

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.

A Great Experience on Safari and tour - Highly Recommended
Having never taken a safari before, or visited South Africa, we arrived as a family of 4 (parents and 2 teenage girls) not knowing what to expect. I can only say the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The travel was comfortable as we took in some wonderful sights. And the safari was superb with a very good standard of food and accommodation throughout. Our guide and driver, Hoppy, was incredibly knowledgeable and conducted the tour in a friendly and informative way which really made for the whole experience. And to cap it all we saw the Big Five! It was a memorable holiday which we can thoroughly recommend to all.

Fabulous
From being picked up to being dropped off we had an unforgettable experience. Our guide Nick was just brilliant, he was so patient (same questions being asked over again), his knowledge was phenomenal, he went out of his way to make sure we saw lots of animals even though it was the rainy season. We were very well looked after throughout and there was much hilarity mistaking rocks for animals! Can hardly wait for another holiday in South Africa and the Kruger. Well done Wildlife Safaris, top class company.
