Awesome Safari Adventure
Can’t say enough about Wild Wings Safaris and the trip they put together for all 11 of us. I contacted 5 other safari companies and not one came close to the professionalism and responsiveness of Wild Wings. And the itinerary developed and the lodging quoted, we knew we made the right choice.
And looking back on the trip, we had no issues or glitches along the way. And I can’t speak more highly of the lodging our Tour Consultant, Tanja, set up. The people working at these places were exceptional. And a shout out to Baobab Ridge Private Lodge near Kruger. A truly hidden gem!
I could go on and on, but let’s just say, thanks to Wild Wings, what a trip of a lifetime we had.

Highly professional and reliable tour company
This was the fifth trip to South Africa that WildWings Safaris have planned for us and was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
We decided to concentrate on game watching in the Greater Kruger area and used Clare again to plan the detail. She’s attentive, prompt, thorough…and patient with us, helping us to choose two family run camps,- Motswari in Timbavati and Nottens in Sabi Sands. They were both perfect for our needs. We had lots of wonderful sightings, great food and exceptionally friendly service.
The transport arrangements made by Clare ( internal flights from Johannesburg and private taxi transfers between camps) were seamless and made the logistics of the travel comfortable. These were very affordable by the way!
Back home less than two days and we’ve already asked Clare to put together our next trip to South Africa.

Perfect safari experience
If you are looking to go on safari and have no idea where to begin...book with Wild Wings! Claire was knowledgeable, professional and arranged the perfect trip to Kambaku Safari Lodge (see separate review for Kambaku on Trip Advisor), that has run smoothly and efficiently. She offered advise and sent thorough documents and additional information, without which, I would have gone unprepared. (Who knew that you need to take a baggie with toilet tissue into the bush!) Well done and many thanks.

4 day tour to Kruger National Park
Outstanding experience and the trip of a lifetime. Our guide was excellent both at finding and spotting game. In addition Neil was a gourmet cook and kept us well fed and warm (blankets on morning game drives). We also got an interesting history lesson on the Anglo-Boer War and the first uso concentration camps. Neil is a true Renaissance man and greatly contributed to our tour.

Excellent service and driving, have seen many animals with a guide having a lot of experience
The service was very good. Our guide was always in time, he prepared almost every meal for us. We were a small group and our guide drived us to the best places. We saw elephants, zebras, girafs, hyenas, baboons, eagles, voltures, crocodiles, hippos, rhinos and lots of impalas. Far away we could discover some cheetas having their meal. One lepard was crossing the road marking his area. Besides we loved the outdoor breakfast in Krüger with a great sight over the park. And the barbecue in the evening was also excellent. Our guide telled us a lot about the animals and life in South Africa. So it was very interesting for us Eurpeans.

Incredible
We went to South Africa for our honeymoon. From the beginning to the end the planning was great. Initially Madi helped with the guiding us through the process and then the different options and expenses. Once arriving at Kruger we had Simon as our guide and he was amazing. He has so much knowledge and is able to see animals we would never be able to pick out! The food was amazing and he always made sure everyone was taken care of. He also made sure everyone had fun! We were able to see the Big 5 and other animals as well including a white elephant, which is very uncommon to see. He would explain facts about the animals and was excited about the big and small animals. We would recommend anyone to use Wild Wings as the company. They are highly competent and we cannot say enough good about them! Thanks again this will be one of the most memorable vacations of our life time and a great way to start our life together :)

A superb tour operator!
The first time I have organised and booked a holiday through a tour operator not based in the UK. Following excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, I contacted Wild Wings Safris as the standard South African safari/ Cape Town tours offered a limited safari experience, or were way above our budget limit. (We being four retired ladies.) From the start, I was really impressed with the advice and speed of replies to my emails from Madi at Wild Wings.With her enthusiasm and knowledge of both Cape Town and Kruger National Park, we had the most amazing holiday - truly a holiday of a life time. Our accomodation, guides, itinery were all wonderful. I never expected that we would get to stay in Timbavati, a private reserve, next to Kruger, and drive off road into the bush to watch lions next to the vehicle, a leopard and her cub from a dry river bed and many, many more amazing experiences. Have no hesitation in using Wild Wings - I just wish they could plan all my holidays!

Seamless Safari Experience with Wild Wings
This was our first visit to South Africa and first safari. My wife and I had some anxiety on how to arrange transfers, lodging, and game hunts. Luckily, we sent an inquiry to Wild Wings, and we knew from their informative response that we'd picked a winner right away. Our advisor, Madi, patiently answered our numerous questions and laid out all the details for us, including what to bring, cost, what to expect, and other important details and suggestions. From touch down at the Hoedspruit Airport to take off, we were taken care of by Wild Wings Safari. The transfer was waiting for us and shuttled us to the Gomo Gomo Game Lodge, giving us lots of information and details along the way. We even saw two giraffes right by the road along the way! Once at the lodge, we couldn't have been happier with our accomodations; meals; game drives; trackers, guides, and staff at the lodge. Ross and Dominic, our ranger and tracker, worked so hard to make sure we got great sightings each day. The food was excellent and prices for drinks were reasonable. With Wild Wings and Gomo Gomo Game Lodge, there were no surprises and everything went smoothly throughout our stay. We were picked up on our last day and sadly left our great experience. We highly recommend Wild Wing Safaris and the Gomo Gomo Game Lodge!

Amazing Safari!
A massive thanks to George at wild wings for arranging the safari and both hotel before and after. It ended up just my wife and i on the 9 seater 4x4 for a week with Simon our guide. I cannot fault Simon on one thing. His food amazing, he is incredible knowledgeable and passionate and was good fun. A week we will never forget!
