trip of a lifetime
I booked the a 3-day Kruger Park safari for myself and a work colleague. After doing so I was nervous it was too affordable, and that he'd hate it.
I couldn't be more wrong. It was incredible. We saw 4 of the Big 5 on day 1, so kept thinking things would be downhill after that. Instead they kept getting even better. Our guide, Simon, had a magic touch that allowed him to find everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27FljjUGBJw. His depth of knowledge was really impressive--I enjoyed learning about the animals as much as I loved seeing them up close. ...that would all be sufficient, but the huts at Skukuza were great, as were the breakfasts and dinner Simon made each day
Colleagues in Durban were jealous when they heard about our trip. All had been on safaris, but none had seen a leopard. We saw two!

Wild Wings provided a seamless service which resulted in a wonderful holiday
On fairly short notice, Wild Wings provided us with a lovely holiday experience. Our time with Simon in Kruger was particularly special. His great knowledge and general enthusiasm made our days in the park special.

Honest, Helpful and full of good ideas
Covid meant that we had to postpone for two years. Clare at west Wings stayed in touch and kept our booking alive.
When we finally got there, Simon the barefoot guide did the rest. My family had the best time ever, saw the big 5 (made more difficult due to the rain) and we were fed and watered by Simon. We had breakfast lunch and dinner cooked for us .. and it was all amazingly done, we we're fed restaurant standard food in the bush!!
This is the only address you will need for the safari experience of your dreams.

Phenomenally organised, zero stress holiday. The way it should be.
From start to finish, the trip was insane, from the get go there were no issues arranging the perfect dates, the length of the stay or choices of accommodation. Ilaria and I spent far more than most would deem necessary emailing back and forth making sure absolutely everything was perfect. From the moment I landed in Kenya I was greeted at the airport by the team and from then on, totally hands off on my part, everything was thought through by them. Once we arrived into the Mara it just kept getting better. James my guide was one of the most knowledgeable and thorough guides I've met while being super chilled out and great fun to be around, to the point I can't think of anyone I'd want more for my next guide, he also had an interest in photography so we spent time between drives going over each others photos to see what we each managed to capture! He knew exactly the best spots to go and how to get there as well as the ideal times to leave the camps and hotels to make sure we'd be one of the first out there for sunrise and being the first out there to see the wildlife on the morning hunts. I genuinely cannot rate this trip highly enough and will be planning another visit as soon as I can.

Everything we could hope for and more
This was our third trip with Wild Wings and they ensured that our Honeymoon was perfect. Right from the first interaction and ideas for what we wanted, Wild Wings crafted the perfect itinerary to meet our needs as well as providing regular updates on the different COVID requirements. The communication we received throughout the booking process was superb, answering any question and responding quickly to changing situations to update our itinerary. Wild Wings delivered an amazing safari experience, their guides knowledge of the park, wildlife & flexibility to tailor the drives to our needs makes them the standout safari company. We never would use a different company for a safari or journey in Africa and cannot reckon them highly enough for both Kruger safari's as well as their support in shaping the rest of journey and their partners in other countries.

Clare was very helpful and patient with our changes due to Covid.
Our experience with Wild Wings was nothing short of exceptional. Our booking agent Clare was very quick to return emails and answering our questions. She assisted us in moving our safari one year due to Covid and worked very hard to ensure we had a great experience. The lodge we chose, Kambaku River Sands exceeded our expectations in every way, and that is due to Clare and her assistance. I would not hesitate to utilize Wild Wings to book your dream safari!

Even with covid restrictions they found me an incredible offer and my experience was unforgettable
Madi was super responsive and we had a phone call beforehand to align expectations. She then proceeded to finding different options for my needs, and ended up finding an incredible solution that I was happy to book. The 3 nights safari at Notten's was an experience I will never forget, and I thank them for making it so easy and worry free!!

Perfect!
Words cannot express how grateful I am for Madi at Wild Wings Safari. I did a lot of research with different companies and prices and wild wings was the best and most flexible. Madi was so patient with me (I'm a pretty indecisive and detail oriented person) and in the end we came up with the perfect plan. And then unforeseen problems arose and we had to cancel our trip. However, everything aligned last minute and Madi was able to make our trip come true again and rebooked everything about a month away! She was so calm and patient and comforting through the whole planning process. It was stressful canceling and rebooking but she never made me feel rushed or forced. Also, I loved all of her recommendations for specific price points. We were able to see the Big 5 in 5 days of being there. It was a quick trip and were able to do Nthambo tree camp (unique experience) and Arathusa (Out of this world 1st class experience). Even our transport guides between airport and lodges were amazing. Do not hesitate to book with Madi at Wild Wings Safari (you can tell she loves her job and wants to create a memorable experience for you). I do recommend getting travel insurance too just in case unforeseen things happen.
Absolutely fantastic
They went over and above for us even picking us up and dropping us off at home which was very helpful to us as pensioners.The drivers were very good and the driver from Wild Wings was absolutely fantastic
His knowledge and patience was remakable and he clearly loved his work and the animals.
I would love to go again. He knew where to find the animals and we were lucky to see the big 7 in 48 hours.

Excellent safari and tour company!
The service and communication from Wild Wings was excellent. They were prompt and answered all my questions. The safari was well planned and our tour guide really took care of everything: driving, planning, teaching, cooking and cleaning!
This was our first safari and we did a 4 day Kruger safari. We were amazed at the vastness and beauty of the park and the animals were incredible in their natural habitats. The park accommodation was good and as advertised. We do recommend 4 days to be more relaxed and have a better chance to see all the big 5.
The days were long and we started early to see as much as possible.
Overall, the safari was an an excellent experience and we would definitely book with Wild Wings again.
