Don't hesitate to book a safari with these guys. Amazing!
5/5

We ( 3 couples) had a 3 day safari, with Hoppy as our guide. He looked after us like a parent, collecting us from Jo'burg and driving for hours and hours to the KNP and around it and making sure we were OK at every stage. He knew where to go, identified over 30 birds for us, and we saw so many animals. Only a Leopard eluded us. He even stopped after spotting a tiny chameleon at the edge of the road! The open safari vehicle was an excellent way to see the game, and photograph them. So many shots of wild animals up close. Elephants, impala and giraffes galore, warthogs, waterbuck, kudu, buffalo, wildebeeste, crocs, hippos, and on our final day, a lion and eventually rhino, sable, eland and gemsbok. We spent about 25 hours over those 3 days being driven around. It sounds like alot but it passed so quickly and comfortably. Even when the animals were hiding, driving around the African bush with a warm breeze in your face was delightful.
The attention to detail in our care was exceptional, and Hoppy knew so much about the animals and birds, and about the park in general. The breakfasts at Sabie River Lodge and Skukusa were amazing and the accommodation at Sabie River was delightful; Skukusa was a little more basic but comfortable. Getting up at 5am for early morning game drives seemed no hardship. We had a truly wonderful time. Thank you guys, and huge thanks to Hoppy. Our Safari finished a week ago, and I'm still dreaming of those elephants and giraffes!!

Fantastic, well organized experience
5/5

The communication throughout the booking process and arranging all of the logistics was very clear and straightforward with no issues. Everything was on time, well planned out, and delivered against what was described. Our guide, Henry, was wonderful and was such a joy to learn more about the region from someone so passionate about what they do.

Great experience!
5/5

The tour was great and it was completely worth it.
We had an awesome time in Kruger Nationalpark and Simon Taylor was the best guide.
We saw a lot of animals and he explained very interesting information about each animal.
I highly recommend the tour.

Exclusive and professional experience
5/5

We toured the Kruger park with our own experienced and very knowledgable guide for three days, which was great. I would highly recommend our guide, Nick Snyman and Wildlife Safaris. We were lucky enough to see lions, elephants, giraffes and other amazing animals at close range several times. Nick’s background knowledge and care for us added so much to this memorable experience.

Great Safari Experience
5/5

We did a 4 Day Krüger Tour in March 2023. Everything was well organized and Barney was a great guide who even drove the extra mile to show us a Rhino. We saw many animals and all the big 5. Accommodation and Food were good as well. We liked the fact that we stayed at different lodges and got to see different parts of the park.
So, we definitely recommend this Tour!

Amazing experience in Kruger Park, great itinerary and fantastic guide
5/5

We did the 4 Day Kruger Park and Private Lodge Safari tour and everything has far exceeded our expectations. The organization was seamless, the Sales team was very responsive and patiently handled all our queries, and our guide (Nik) was fantastic. We got to see all the animals we were hoping to see despite going in a suboptimal season for Kruger, and this is also thanks to Nik who went above and beyond to help us find them. He would also enthusiastically share his extensive knowledge about animals and the park and made the tour even more interesting. Food and accommodation were great and everything was well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Fantastic itinerary, knowledgeable and caring guide, awesome accommodations & plenty of wildlife!
5/5

From the very offset, Jonathan & Christine handled our queries with excellent turn around times and they answered all our questions. It was our first time in South Africa and they ensured that our safari experience in Kruger National Park was absolutely top notch. The payment was handled securely and quickly and all the instructions about the safari were very clear.

Hoppy Howell was an amazing guide throughout our safari and it was like travelling with a family member. He took such good care of us and he is extremely knowledgeable and caring about the wildlife & the environment. My wife and I love doing photography and videography and he patient stopped the vehicle at every good opportunity. We must have seen more than 50 species of birds and more than 20 species of mammals and an extensive variety of other critters. It was one simply one of the best wildlife experiences for us!

Amazing experience in Blyde river Canyon and Kruger Park
5/5

We had a great time in Blyde river canyon on the way to the Kruger Park with our guide. We were stunned by the incredible landscapes and the animals crossing the road sometines a few meters in front of us. Our 9 years old boy has still the eyes full of wonder. One wish ? To go back...

Our trip experience fulfilled all expectations.
5/5

We booked a 5-day trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa. There were no issues customizing our trip to see everything we wanted to visit. Our tour guide’s name was Simon Tyler. He made our trip experience exceptional. He took complete care of us from the pickup to drop off. In addition, Simon’s knowledge of the fauna and flora of South Africa is phenomenal. He could provide valuable information about any animal we encountered and identify any trees, shrubs or plants local or invasive to South Africa. To sum up, booking our trip and trip was very positive, and we highly recommend Wildlife Safari tours.
