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.

Incredible Experience!
We chose the five day safari and had a wonderful experience! We saw all seven of the "big seven" And had great views of many others. Our guide Clive was very informative and entertaining, a real pleasure! We really appreciated his special attention and accommodation for an older member of our group. Everything was well planned and the accommodations and food were very good. Exceptional service throughout!

All that we hoped for
Our guide, Sue, was excellent:- friendly, knowledgeable and eagle-eyed (and a good driver!) Although she didn't promise what we might see, we actually saw everything we hoped for and more, both large and small, animals, birds, insects and reptiles.
Communication with the company was efficient during the booking process and Sue was asked to report back every evening, to ensure there were no problems.
The accommodation and food were adequate, though not luxurious. However, it was worth having the last day in the private game reserve, both for the higher standard of lodge and the fact that we could go off-road and get even closer to the animals, including an exciting encounter with a leopard!

A perfect introduction to safari tailored to our family's needs!
We decided to book our safari through an organised tour as my husband had never been on safari and was unsure of what to expect. We found the booking process very easy, and the service was efficient and very professional.
The day before our departure, we were contacted to make our final arrangements and given advice on what to take, etc.
Clive, our guide, collected us at 7am, and from then until the moment he dropped us off, he treated us with unbelievable patience and really looked after us. Clive was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions and impart information in a gentle manner. While we were on safari, our son had his birthday, and the company was fantastic with sending messages and arranging a special surprise cake for him. Clive's patience came to the fore yet again as our son wanted to take photos of every single animal on his new camera!
Our whole experience surpassed expectations, and we would highly recommend this company to anyone wishing to go to the Kruger National Park. A very special thanks to everyone involved in making our safari the highlight of our holiday.

The perfect introduction to Kruger National Park!
After a great deal of research, we sent inquiries to Wildlife Safaris and another company. In just a few minutes, Lynn called us! We discussed what we were looking for in a safari to Kruger National Park and she explained that this week end was a 4 day holiday and all the camps at Kruger were fully booked. She could book us for the Monday, she offered. We agreed. We proceeded through the booking and payment process and waited for Monday! Hoppy, our driver and guide, arrived to pick us up in Jo'burg. The ride to Kruger showed us a fascinating region of South Africa. Once inside the park, the sightings of birds and animals began. Hoppy was a great guide, knows so much about all the wildlife, especially birds! We identified so many birds during our drives - amazing and fun, and we observed elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, and other critters Kruger is so well known for. He took very good care of us, too. This 3 day safari was the perfect introduction to Kruger National Park. We are SO happy Lynn called!

Trip of a Lifetime
Amazing experience from beginning to end.. Excellent communication when booking the safari with prompt responses and informative answers to MANY questions that we asked. Made us feel comfortable as we were booking this trip online from the USA. They made an excellent recommendation for B&B prior to pick up as we travelled from Cape Town to Joburg the day prior to leaving for the safari. On time pickup from B&B. Tour guide.. Susan Wilson was AMAZING... Extremely knowledgable about all aspects of the trip from travel from Joburg to Kruger National Park. Excellent experience with her for our 3 day, 2 night trip. Knowledgable to all wildlife and the park itself. Accommodations in park were nice, well maintained and clean. We will use Wildlife Safaris when we book out next safari.

Fantastic guide, flawless arrangements, best holiday ever
Lynn was fantastic at arranging our safari and stay at Waybury with only four weeks notice. All the arrangements worked like clockwork and the guest house was wonderful too. Hoppy was the most amazing guide and the best company ever. We saw all the "big 5" and his knowledge of all the other flora and fauna was amazing and really made the experience so much more interesting. We're saving our money to come back as soon as we can.
Thank you to everyone at Wildlife Safairs for the best holiday ever

have been with wildlife safari 5 times best tour company ever
Your communication with your clients is great. I felt informed at all times even though I had booked 10 months in advance. I was met by hoppy at exactly where you said hoppy was as I remembered. Kind helpful and very knowagebly. I would recommend your company and him to all my friends. I have been with you 5 times and have seen the big 5 every time plus this time hunting dogs, a herd of 63 elephants and 20 rino. Hoppy surpassed himself. Well done! Made my holiday.
