one of the best Trips we ever Took!
5/5

We took a 4 Day Safari in November - it was one of the Most memorable and amazing trips we did! Hoppy was our Guide which was the best that could have happened to us. He is a very experienced and Most importantly kind and friendly Person. We can recommend the safari 100% - ask for Hoppy as your guide! We enjoyed the entire Trip so much since Hoppy knows where to go and See really amazing things, he can track the animals and is also a fun and interesting Person to Chat with. The Tour is really well planned with nice accomodations in the park, good food and so much to See! Try to do at least 4 days, it's worth it.

The next Time we come to SA we would definitely so this Tour again, but only with Hoppy because no Hoppy no Holiday :)
Thanks a lot for this experience

Best Trip ever with our Guide Hoppy!
5/5

We did the 4 Day Safari at the Ende of our SA trip and it was one of the Most memorable and amazing tours we did so far. The tour is very welk organized with nice accomodations in the Park, good food and most importantly we had an awesome guide who made the trip perfect! Hoppy is very experienced and such a Kind and fun Person to spend time with that it almost felt like driving through the park with a friend. We saw so much because of his experience and we learned even more from what je knew about the park and all the animals. We can 100% recommend the tour and would definitely do it again the next time we come to SA. Ask for Hoppy as your guide because no Hoppy, no holiday :) thank you for this great trip!

Fabulous
5/5

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.

A Great Experience on Safari and tour - Highly Recommended
5/5

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.

Very enjoyable trip with a well thought out mix of activities.
5/5

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.

Kruger: the big five plus so much more
4/5

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our safari! The arrangements were easy and professional. Our luck (Clive's skill) was amazing. The weather was great, our animal sightings were up-close and frequent, the accommodations were fun and the food was great! It was more than we expected in many ways, but most of all it was fun and relaxing.

Panorama Route to Kruger Park
5/5

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.

5/5

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.

Amazing African Safari
5/5

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)
