Awesome Kruger experience
The trip was organized trip perfectly! Everything was perfect and Mike was a wonderful guide who went out of his way to make everything comfortable for us. In addition, he knows a lot about the animals
and also how to find them. We had amazing animal sightings in Kruger.
Christine was most helpful and very patient in the phase of "designing" our private customized trip.

Wonderful experience
We are very pleased with the service during the safari, from the pick-up at the hotel through out the 4 days to the drop off at airport. The guide and rangers were very knowledgeable and competent and were very dedicated to giving us the best experience possible. Wildlife Safaris certainly lived up to our expectations during the tour. Apart from som slow response time while booking and getting confirmation the overall rating is excellent.

Must See!
We were extremely pleased with the service, expertise, and quality of Wildlife Safaris and our guide, Hoppy! His encyclopedic knowledge and obvious passion for Kruger Park and the amazing wildlife there was infectious!

Safari Kruger and Mohlabetsi Game reserve
There were two of us, a couple, and we lived a great experience with combination of visits inside Kruger N.P. and game reserve.
We have seen Big 5 (2 times each one), Impalas, Eagles, hippos,Giraffes, Ienas...and Cheetah too. finally even 6 weeks lions cubs.
Our Guide Sue Wilson has been fantastic, friendly, enthusiastic, expert, in actual fact we have seen our first leopard thanks to her knowledge, hearing impalas yelling near a river, she supposed that a predator would been there...she was right, we chased him and after few minutes...a leopard was there, 20 meters far from us,
amazing.
Mohlabetsi is a great lodge too, comfortable and with a lot of animals that you can see sometimes even closer than in Kruger...but have a sigthseen in Kruger N.P. seems more "real" and "natural". I suggest combination of N.P. with a guide + game reserve if you have 3-4 Days as well us.

Having no expectations got us everything!
My friend and I selected Wildlife Sararis based on where they went and the number of days. That being said, we had the most fantastic experiences and sightings imaginable. First of all, the service was fantastic. Our driver/guide, Liese, always went out of her way to make sure our needs were met; whether it was an extra stop to pick something up, or tea and coffee to keep us warm on our morning game drive, or making sure there was enough for me to eat as a vegetarian. As a driver, we felt safe and never worried when we were very close to the animals. She always made sure we had the best viewing possible without endangering us or the animals. As a guide, she has in depth knowledge of the animals and terrain and was most willing to share with us as much as we could handle. Most of our accommodations were tented lodges and/or rondavels. They were clean and up to date and well maintained. As for animals, we were extremely lucky. Not only did we see the Big Five (which is why we chose Kruger N'tl Park) but lots of viewings of lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, buffalo, zebras, and giraffes. Unfortunately, we also came upon a recent poaching of a rhino. This indeed, was an experience of a life time! Thank you Liese, and Wildlife Safaris!

Great first safari experience
We entirely enjoyed every minute of our 4 days safari experience. Such an arrangement - which also includes travelling from and to Johannesburg (count with good 5 hours per one direction) - will give you enough opportunities to spot nearly all the species you have came for to see. Guided with the experienced empathetic guide - as was Hoppy in our case - you will see a big part of the park and learn a lot of it's ecosystem. Accommodation arranged by the agency was comfortable and food available during safari was more than good. In the camp selected for the accommodation in the park many up to date services - including ATM, wifi & shop - are available.
Again many thanks mainly to Hoppy who provided an excellent service to us.

Professionalism we didn’t meet before
This was our first trip to Kruger Park. We have organized it totally by our self via Internet. Hence we were afraid that the contracts made by remote contact mayn’t be kept and we will lose time by looking for auxiliary solutions. The reality was surprisingly other. The splendor of South Africa and Kruger Park we expected. But the high standard of service offered by Wildlife Safaris was far beyond our projections. We were happy by choosing this company. In the case we will come back to Kruger again without any doubt we ask for service only there.

Amazing Guide, Amazing Time
We had an amazing tour. The safari would not have been the same without our guide Hoppy. From the moment he picked us up in Johannesburg we felt like we were family members. Nothing was too much for him, and he has eyes like an eagle. He would spot animals at a distance and we would take several minutes with the help of binoculars to see the same animals that he spotted just with his eyes. He had a vast knowledge of the animals, fauna and birds and it was easy to ask him questions. We had been on other safaris where the guides treated you as just another tourist, Hoppy made the safari fun and enjoyable and helped all the clients interact together. We saw tones of animals and Hoppy made sure we all had our pictures before we moved on. While not on the safari, Hoppy also made sure we had everything we needed and that we were well fed and comfortable. Can not say enough about Hoppy, we saw some of the other guides, and you could tell they were doing a job, and I just kept thinking, wow, we have the best guide by far, one who is not just doing a job but is also passionate about the environment, the animals and us. Can't wait to go back again.

He looked after our every needs & we all learnt so much about the wildlife in the park. The vehicles were road worthy & comfortable. We enjoyed every moment & would highly recommend this tour

Incredible experience. Kruger is an absolute must see.
I would recommend Wildlife safaris to anyone. We had a wonderful time. The itinerary was perfect. We chose the 4 day panoramic route and it was perfect for us. This included plenty of game drives so we saw the big 5 more than once up close! Our guide Clive was fantastic and so enthusiastic about the Kruger and very knowledgable. Thank you for an amazing trip.
