Great Safari with a lot to see
We are home again after a great trip to South Africa.
Our tour guide for Kruger was Hoppy.
We saw about 80+/- birds and animals and were lucky enough to see the big five
If we had been driving ourselves we would probably have seen about 20 birds and animals and not known the names of most of them.
Hoppy has amazing eyes both for spotting wild life and missing pot holes often at the same time.
My wife and I took turns being sick with a parasite we picked up somewhere. Hoppy was very accommodating and sensitive to our needs.
thanks

5-AlivewithClive during four days in Kruger tops great adventures that Michelle and I have enjoyed
Christine was incredible, informed and patient during our efforts to book a safari into Kruger during a busy month in South Africa. The continued professionalism and personal care of Wildlife Safaris was realized by the equally fine work of Clive Alborough, who seemed to sense locations that of the many exciting sightings Michelle and I enjoyed. Clive was patient, instructive an invaluable was we clumsily snapped our keepsake photos. Clive is a fine human with a deep feeling for The Kruger and its wondrous wildlife inhabitants. What we experienced was both fulfilling and joyous. As rather seasoned world travelers and animal lovers, we are grateful for Christine and Clive and the warmth we found as guests in Joberg at Wavery House managed so personally by Jonathan. These people are great ambassadors for South Africa.

Amazing experience!!!!
We did the 4 days panorama and kruger tour, and the whole experience is fantastic!! The service provided exceeded my expectations. The punctuality, knowledge and consideration of Nick our guide were extremely remarkable. The accommodation, the vehicles and the meals are very good. We got to see the big 5, and many other animals with their babies, i we were lucky to see a fight between baboons and wild dogs. A definitively recommendable tour!!!!

helpful, professional, knowledgeable and flexible
My sister and I have just returned from the most amazing trip to the Kruger Park. Apart from seeing such a lot we have also learnt an awful lot about the wildlife, their behaviours and their habitat, thanks to our guides extensive knowledge - his passion for the place is quite evident and infectious.
We were delighted that we booked with Wildlife Safaris and their advise and help in the early stages and patience during times of uncertainty means that we would not hesitate to book with them again and recommend them to others.

Excellent operation and tour guide
The entire operation was easy and effortless. All were open to questions and concerns. Hoppy, our tour guide, was great. Sleeping accommodations were good and Hoppy arranged several good restaurants for dinner. He was extremely knowledgeable and quickly established a positive relationship with the seven of us in the group. We had great success getting our photos of the big 5 and many other animals and birds. Hoppy was always getting us in terrific positions for a clear line of sight. Our "walk" was fun and informative. Kudos to the rangers for providing a great time.

A good guide makes a great trip.
For the trip itself we had excellent info from the tour operator regarding preparation to and for the duration, and we were lucky - being 4 seniors - to be matched with other people with same interest to the trip into Krüger Nat. Park. Service during the tour all depends on the guide - and we got a great guide with knowledge about the animals and birds we saw and humor on top, made a splendid experience.

A thoroughly enjoyable, 'bucket-list' Kruger Park safari & Panorama tour by Wildlife Safaris (Pty)
Our 5-day Kruger Park safari with Panorama tour arranged and managed by Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd. was an overwhelmingly positive experience from the get-go. This was our first trip to Africa and we knew NOTHING about safaris. We found Wildlife Safaris via our Lonely Planet tourbook and reserved our safari online with Christine who was ever informative and patient. She helped arrange our airport pickup and pre and post safari overnight stay in the Johannesburg area, making that aspect simple for us. Our Wildlife Safari guide, Clive was very knowledgeable with 11 years of guide experience and >35 years of visiting the park. His knowledge of the flora, fauna and history of the park was ever reliable and his stories entertaining. The safari vehicle, a clean air-conditioned van (with binoculars provided by Wildlife!) was very comfortable and the ability to view the African wildlife was good from all sides through open or closed windows. During the safari we stayed at a Kruger park bungalow for 2 days and a 4-star private safari lodge for 1 which gave us a sense of the differences between the two types of operation. We saw the greatest diversity of animals at Kruger Park while driving with Clive - lions, leopard, elephants, zebras, various antelopes - amazing in their natural environment. At the private safari lodge though we saw a cheetah with cubs close up which was very special. The Kruger Park bungalow was air-conditioned and had a kitchen which was not needed because Clive cooked wonderful barbeques for the evening meal and we ate at Kruger park venues for breakfast. These meals were fun, comfortable and good though not 'haute cuisine' (which was fine for us). The private safari lodge had their own restaurant and we enjoyed those meals but preferred the more relaxed atmosphere of our Kruger Park meals. Our room at the private safari lodge was beautiful. After the safari, Clive drove us through the canyons and waterfalls that are part of the Panorama tour. It was hazy but the scenery and views were jaw-dropping and well worth the trip. We stopped for shopping (at a silk factory and South African craft places) before staying overnight at a quirky motel called Hippo Hollow where hippos and crocodiles could theoretically join you at breakfast (they can coe on the grounds). It was a niice stay. Then we went on back to Johannesburg for the end of our safir. Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd and Clive provided us with a truly memorable experience that we would return for and highly recommend to others. They provided us with a safe but adventurous safari and touring experience, that was professionally arranged and had the element of a personal touch from our guide, Clive and the various venues that were well-selected by Wildlfe Safaris. They are a great company and the cost was very reasonable!
