Top class experience!
Incredible experience staying at the Greenfire Game Lodge in the Greater Kruger National Park booked through Wild Wings Safaris. The whole trip was a 1st class operation from the accommodation (which were stunning modern bush cabins looking out onto a large river bed where we had various wild animals coming to drink from everyday - herds of wild elephant, buffalo and numerous deer/antelope) the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful, the food which was outstanding, varied and cooked taking into account my wifes diet allergies and the safaris were amazing where our tracker did a great job in finding us all the animals and also taking us on a lovely 'on foot' guided walk as well. The transport was also all arranged through Wild Wings Safaris and this was very good as well taking the Ashtons Shuttle bus from to and from OR Tambo airport.
Firstly I would highly recommend booking through Wild Wings Safaris and staying at the Greenfire Game Lodge!! And secondly staying on the Greater Kruger National Park was an unforgettable experience and something that myself and my partner will always treasure!!

5 days of intense wildlife watching: excellent safari guide and excellent organization.
Our experience of 5 days of safari in Kruger National Park with Wild Wings Safaris was amazing. Excellent organization from the beggining of the trip (pick up/left in the Hotel on time), fresh food for breakfasts and dinners ... and Simon, the safari guide, was an excellent guide searching for wildlife, showing us animals and explainning about their way of life, diet, ... In summary, an expert safari guide! He also created a good environment among all who were sharing the safari. All in all, this safari fulfilled our expectations by far! I would recommend it to anybody who really wants to experience a real safari.

The agency was efficient and very professional
רק מילים טובות. הסוכנות היתה יעילה ומאוד מקצועית. נעזרנו בה בבניית תכנית הטיול בדרום אפריקה, כמו גם בשינויים תוך כדי תנועה. הסוכנת Cathari Johnson היתה מצויינת וקשובה לכל בקשה ועיניין. ממליץ בחום.

simply amazing
We have done a self drive trip excluding Kruger which was guided.
Planning was done with Gavin with endless patient and flexibility. Gavin helped us with tips and suggestions for all parts of our trip. He booked for us a very special stay at Isibindi Zulu Lodge at Kwazulu-Natal and 4 days in Kruger.
the highlight was Kruger with the brilliant guide- Frank Watts. Frank together with Diane were up for anything we wanted to do. We had a great experiences watching lions mating from a very short distance as well as leopards , wild dogs and much more. Frank and Diane took care of all our needs with their great cooking and company. This was a life time experience . Wild Wings are highly recommended
a great trip to South Africa
We really enjoyed our trip to South Africa, and it had a lot to do with Wild Wings Safaris. First, with the great Safari in Kruger Park with Simon. We had a very nice group (lucky us), and Simon is a great guide and fun to be with. We saw a lot and learned a lot. Clare also helped us with bookings for the rest of our trip including Cape Town, the Little Karoo and the Garden Route - and we were happy with her choices. So, we can only recommend Wild Wings Safaris. Enjoy.

Superb intro to South Africa
My adult son and I thoroughly enjoyed a father-son travel experience to South Africa, thanks primarily to Wild Wings Safaris. Given limited time--two weeks--we wanted a small sampling of the best of South Africa, which to us meant visits to Joburg and Cape Town and a five-day safari experience, together with day trips to points of visual and historic interest. We cannot say enough about Wild Wings, which arranged our stay at Naledi Enkoveni Lodge (special kudos to bush guides/brothers Prem and Oupa) and hooked us up with a transport/tour guide service, African Adventures. Each and every connection we made via these services was outstanding (if you go, don't hesitate to ask about daily life and South African politics with your drivers and others you meet as you travel; most all have interesting insights they are willing to share if asked). Most importantly, our travels greatly enhanced our appreciation for South Africa--its amazing people, its diverse culture, its rocky history, its enormous challenges, and its promising future. We would strongly encourage anyone thinking about travel to South Africa to do just that, and to seriously consider Wild Wings for guidance in making the trip. Do your homework, then take the plunge.

12 Day Cape Town, Kurger, Victoria Falls
Fantastic trip and fantastic experience with Wild Wings. The staff were very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to have an amazing trip. It was a great way to see many different things, with more personal flexibility on activities in Cape Town and Victoria Falls. Kruger highlighted the trip with Simon, our extremely knowledgeable guide who took care of everything! I would highly recommend both this trip and Wild Wings.

Perfect experience!
I were extremely satisfied with the service provided by Wild Wings. Simon was the perfect guide! He had this sharpened and fascinated look by the beauties of Kruger, always sharing with us information about animals and wildlife. Jock was great too. The meals prepared by him were always very tasty and well presented.

Excellent safari
We been on a few trips around the world before but this beats them all. We had a five day/four nights safari with Armand as our private guide and John as our private chief in Kruger park. Everything was arranged perfectly and we did not need to think about anything practical for the entire trip. We started the trip with arriving early at Johannesburg airport. We were there picked up and had a private driver that helped out with picking up the prebooked Nikon 600mm/4 before arriving to Kruger.
Armand then picked us up and we got a first safari before sunset the same day with good shots of Rhinos. John cooked food just of us in the evening. Very nice South African special food. An early start day two with a bush walk in the sunrise. Perhaps not the highlight of the trip but still nice to walk around where lions could be. Two armed guides made them stay away though. After special breakfast with John it was time to head out with Armand on the full day safari. We could see a lot of animals but second day was even better, we got all big five in one day then.
But the big five is not the main thing. When sitting in the open vehicle you get so much of the open scenery and you soon start becoming your own animal scout. Seeing a family of elephants passing the road just in front of you is truly something special. And waiting for them there is all of a sudden an exotic bird sitting on the tree branch just beside the car. When looking at the hippos in a pond, there is a family of baboons next to the car stealing all your interest.
I got more and better pictures taken during the 4/5 days in Kruger than in most other places. If you head for a private reserve instead of booking within Kruger by itself the car can drive close to any animal. Even if that will give you much better closeup pictures, it will also mean more stress for the animals. I do prefer the Kruger way which brings out the need of a good tele-lens but leaves the animals more private.
Could anything been done better? Well, the park ranger tours with bush walk one morning and sunset safari an evening were less interesting, they would fall into the category of nice to have done but no need to repeat. It was truly Armands guided safaris that made the trip, and Johns food for sure.
I already recommended the trip to a number of fiends, not something I always do. And this is one trip I would like to repeat.
