AMAZING experience with knowledgeable & enthusiastic guide. The whole process was smooth and easy!
We booked the 5 Day Best of Kruger trip and had an AMAZING time. From the booking process to the experience, everything was smooth, communicative, and very professional. Everything was organised on our behalf, so we just had to show up and have fun! Shout out to Nicky, our guide, who gave 110% and provided such and awesome and memorable experience for us. We saw so, so many animals (all the Big 5 and many more!) and had many incredible encounters. Nicky was so knowledgeable and passionate - even for the "small" things - her enthusiasm was infectious and our group had such a blast! If I ever have the opportunity to safari again in Kruger, I would 100% book again with Wild Wings. If I could give more stars, I would!

Amazing
We had three day safari and some additional trips around. Everything was planned very well and all worked perfectly and punctually. Our guide on Safari was excellent also he was a very good cook.
The whole trip was worth of the price paid and communication before the trip covered well all our questions and program sent to us covered completely in details everything.

Fun, safe, professional, genuine - must do Kruger with Wild Wings
We went on the 4 day Wild Wings Kruger Safari and can highly recommend!
Booking/Office:
Everything from booking to general enquiries was handled promptly by our consultant Michael - including a courtesy email a couple of days before our trip. Wild wings send you a information guidebook when booking which we found incredibly helpful. Service, communication and transfers from Johannesburg were 10/10.
Safari/Tour guide: We had a great time with our guide Rufus - the itinerary was flexible each day making it an extremely fun and relaxed trip. We never felt like we were on a tour because the timing was up to us (we were lucky to have a small group of 4 as we travelled in the off season). Breakfast and dinner is cooked by your guide - if you’re lucky to get Rufus you’re in for a treat. We loved Rufus’ banter and genuine passion. He has 16 years in the industry and it shows when he sees a hyena more than a kilometre away!
Time of year/game viewing:
The off-season made no impact to our animal viewing - it is a game of luck however we managed to see the Big 5 on day 1 and 4 leopards in total! December is a great time to go - seeing the baby animals is an experience of a life time. Not everyone was as lucky as us. It helped that Rufus knew everyone and has a good network to find the best game viewing on the day.
Advice:
Wear layers
Bring binoculars
Bring shampoo and conditioner for the bungalow at Skukuza (only soaps provided)
Laundromat mentioned at skukuza camp did not have washing machines
Store at skukuza camp is well stocked with fruit, vegetables, sandwiches/snacks, liquor and has a cafe, restaurant, and souvenir store.

Amazing vacation
Just returned from Inyati at Sabi Sands in Kruger Nat’l Park, Victoria Falls and Cape Town. Best trip of my life. The entire trip was planned by Clare at Wild Wings Safaris. What an incredible job she did! Everything was seamless. I look forward to using Wild Wings Safari again as I look forward to going back to Africa. If you haven’t been to Africa go! But first contact Clare and Wild Wing Safaris. Then sit back and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.

Probably the best, no need to check the others
Took a 5 days safari in Kruger National Park (South Africa) with my partner. Simon was our guide and he is the most professional guide I've ever travelled with. He shared his enormous knowledge with us and took care of our needs. Every part of the trip was well thought of and we'll executed. Simon was very patient in looking for animals that interested us, but knew his role in leading the games and making sure our time is well spent. We were surprised not only by his game drive skills but also by his cooking skills.
We left Kruger knowing we were lucky to travel with Wild Wings. Thank you very much. Can't wait to go there or elsewhere again, surely with you.

Professional Safari tours operator
Absolutely amazing experience.
We spent 5 days in August in Kruger Park, South Africa.
Our guides were professional, informative, educational & kind.
We were extremely happy with the Game drives and the animal viewings that we had.
All the Safari logistics were well taken care of in advance, which helped us make the most of our time in the park.
Highly recommended.

The perfect holiday!
My sister and I used Wild Wings to organise our South African trip. We originally planned to go in May 2020, and had part paid for the trip, but then Covid got in the way.
Cathari and her team were great at keeping in contact and, when we were finally able to go in September 2022, Cathari made sure it was a perfect trip.
Wild Wings put together a fantastic tour that gave us an amazing overview of South Africa and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
Everything was brilliantly organised - we didn't have to worry about a thing. Everywhere we stayed was beautiful, all the transfers and flights were coordinated perfectly and there was a perfect balance of safari and city throughout the trip.
We really appreciate the effort and care put into organising this holiday for us, and would not hesitate to use Wild Wings again should we have the opportunity to travel to Africa again.

Fabulous service & achieving bucket list - priceless
LOVED booking w/Wild Wings Safari group. Small group, excellent personalized service from the office, to the 5 day Safari in 2 parts of Kruger National Park. Nikki --- I would give her a 15 if I could...she was excellent, determined, fun, did her absolute best to help us see all there was to see...amazing! Highly recommend. Just back and still pinching myself for what a wonderful priceless experience. Do it!

Perfect organization - Experience of a lifetime
Clare was our travel advisor, and from the very beginning she created a trip based on our needs. Everything was perfectly organized since we arrived in Cape Town and left from Johannesburg. She provided tons of information prior to our trip and was super fast replying to all our emails. Our guide in CT was amazing, she adapted to the things we wanted to see or do. Additionally we were celebrating my birthday during this trip, and Clare managed to organize a private dinner in our lodge to celebrate. There were changes in our itinerary very last minute, due to some protest in South Africa, and Clare proactively re-organized the route. I do not know what we would have done without her. This was the best trip of our lives. We will for sure be in touch with Clare, when we return to Africa! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing
We did a 5-day safari tour in Kruger park and everything went above our expectations. Our safari guide, Simon, explained to us every single aspect about the animals, the sightings, the weather, everything!
The food he cooked was absolutely delicious and in huge quantity.
We were lucky enought to see the big five, see a white lion, and see 3 elephant playing while having a bath in a lake.
A beautiful experience!
