Excellent tour, spotted the big 5 plus much more.
5/5

What a great tour! From start to finish the tour was run professionally and was extremely informative. Our guide Simon was fantastic. He has been doing tour around South Africa for a very long time, including Kruger, and it was evident. We were very lucky to see the big 5 on our 3 day tour, plus a whole lot more.
The accommodation was nice, we even had Hippos playing in the river outside our accommodation during sunset which was awesome.
The open safari van is a must on any safari, as it really gives you a much better view of the animals. We were given blankets for our morning safaris as it was a bit chilly, and that was great.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Kruger.

Great guide
5/5

The tour was a memorable experience thanks to our guide Simon. Simon was extremely professional, with great experience and deep knowledge of the animals. He was fantastic in guiding us to discover the beauty of Kruger Park. We have really enjoyed our four days, learnt a lot and will bring these memories with us forever.

Nick was fantastic. He helped us see things that we might otherwise have missed.
5/5

Nick was always cheerful. Always informative. The only animal we did not see was a cheetah, but we saw others that people rarely see, too.

Wonderful safari
5/5

This safari was definitely an excellent choice. The food was pretty good, our guides (Hoopy and Bobie) were extremely friendly and attentive. As far as animals are concerned, it was wonderful, we saw a rhino with her calf, we saw lionesses hunting and many more animals. I highly recommend this safari, if I return to South Africa I would choose this company again.

Outstanding
5/5

This is my third time using Wildlife Safaris and each time has been exceptional. The careful attention Christine provided in planning our custom 7 night safari, our knowledgeable and friendly guide Simon, and our excellent driver Hubert, ensured our family of 7 had the trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend this company, as well as including a stay at Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge as part of your safari experience.

The most amazing safari made perfect by Wildlife Safaris and our guide Simon
5/5

Highly recommend working with Wildlife Safaris. They provided excellent communication, organization, and service from the initial inquiry to the running of the Safari. Everything was meticulously planned in terms of timing, accommodations, and stops, offering excellent value for the experiences we enjoyed.

However, it was our guide, Simon, who truly made our trip exceptional. I cannot commend him highly enough for his professionalism, knowledge, and skills. When spending hours upon hours over days with a guide, they can truly make or break the experience. Simon ensured our comfort throughout and showed great courtesy to all family members. His deep, insider knowledge of the parks and wildlife was evident, and he used it to maximize our animal sightings. Simon knew precisely where to pause for breaks and how to make our time enriching. I enthusiastically recommend both him and the company to others.

Thorough, dedicated, informative, determined, and patient
5/5

Our experience was a phenomenal anomaly. We were only able to stay 48 hours and in that short time, we caught the entire 'Big 5' PLUS we saw a lion pride hunt a pack of impalas, with a singled-off impala barely escaping their clutches. This was incredible. I have friends who have been on safari 10 times and did not catch all of that in 1 short visit. I credit this to our guide, Simon, who was incredible. The accommodations were arranged and ready upon our arrival. It was a 'roughing it' experience, but we enjoyed being close to the hippos the first night and inside Kruger the second night. I highly recommend Wildlife Safaris for your excursion. Thank you Wildlife!

Team was responsive and able to accommodate our requests.
5/5

Our tour guide (Barney) was knowledgeable about wildlife, Kruger National Park and South Africa. He told us about how the animals inhabit the space and diligently looked out for different animals while he drove us around the park. Before and during the trip he was responsive via text/phone. He was able to accommodate our request when we had to shorten the tour by one day due to a logistical reason. I would recommend booking a private tour with Wildlife Safari.
Accommodations while we were at the Kruger National Park were okay. The accommodation at the final stop (Hazyview) was particularly nice.

Amazing safari in Kruger Natl. Park
5/5

Myself and three of my friends booked a safari as part of a college graduation trip to South Africa. We were truly blown away by the quality of experience we received. We were lucky enough to have Simon T. as our guide and not only is he a great guide who is well educated, but he is a very personable person that made our trip that much better. The lodging facilities arranged by the company were 10/10, not to mention the amazing food and hospitality shown by all involved. If you are at all contemplating going on a safari with this company, use this as a sign that you should, and request Simon!!!
