A Wonderful Experience
In April 2015 our daughter (we live in Australia) enjoyed a holiday in South Africa, the majority of which was organised by Wild Wings Safaris. On hearing of the enjoyment she experienced we decided to plan a similar holiday and also chose Wild Wings as our organising company.
We have just returned from our trip and cannot speak highly enough of the quality of organisation, support and service provided by Wild Wings. We dealt directly with Clare, whose attention to detail was faultless and ensured that we had a most enjoyable experience. The highlight of our trip was Kruger National Park where our guide Frank provided us with one of our most memorable holidays. We fully recommend Clare and the team at Wild Wings to anyone contemplating a South African holiday.

Nothing but 5 stars
Clare with Wild Wings deserves 8 stars to put up with our group. She communicated with us right away every time, was patient with our many changes and the bottom line is she knew exactly what safari and lodge we should visit based on our budget needs. She found it and it far exceeded our expectations. Our transit drivers were always on time and very nice GAP Tours). Her lodging choices we enjoyed (Inyati Lodge) and the choice of Sabi Sands Game Reserve was right on point (we did see the BIG FIVE). We loved our experience using Clare with Wild Wings and are already planning our next adventure.
well-planned, reliable, trustworthy. Delivered on their word.
Everything was executed as promised. Service was professional. Drivers were punctual, and courteous. Also the lodging/food, and safari drives were up to mark. Won't hesitate to recommend this company.

Had high expectations, and the experience was even better.
Cannot complain about anything related to the safari. Correspondence by with Madi was helpful, clear and immediate. Our guide, Simon, was always punctual and I felt that he really did his best for us to have a great time - only the cheetah was missing from the animals which we were expecting and hoping to see, and up to the last drive he tried to make it possible (no luck, but obviously not his fault - we still made up for it with great sightings of other animals) - and he also managed to accommodate everyone's dietary requirements (which was not a simple task). The chosen accommodation at Skukuza was also very good, nothing fancy, but comfortable and caters for all basic needs.

Unforgettable safari experience!
First, they showed unmatched flexibility when our requirements were outside of the available options. Most other operators couldn't provide a solution that would fit our dates and requirements. Wild Wings worked with us very creatively, and when all "canned" options were exhausted, they offered a completely custom tour that was tailored to our needs.
Our guide, Frank Watts, was simply amazing - he was happy to be out there with us from 6 AM to 6 PM, telling amazing stories about animals, running from one sighting to another. Frank is well connected with all other guides, which allows him to be constantly updated on what's going on in the park. We didn't just see animals, we saw their stories unfolding in front of our eyes:
- Two leopards mating
- Lions killed a buffalo and devouring their meal
- Lions going for a hunt
- Lioness calling for her mate, while the mate is chilling at a distance with no interest...
- Elephants coming for a bath
Thank you, Wild Wings Safari and especially Frank Watts, for this unforgettable experience!

Wild Wings can support any safari plan that you request with a variety of great options to choose from to accommodate your budget. The agents are professional and very helpful at answering any question during your booking and throughout your safari. There are many options to choose when selecting your safari of choice, but Wild Wings will ensure that your experience is one that you will not forget. Wild Wings Safari was the first place we looked to book our safari and after the amazing service their was no need to look anywhere else. Thanks.

Super Organized and Professional-Private Tour!
Michael (Mike) from Wild Wings Safaris team had helped us since 1st email correspondence.. though its only email, no phone call and other stuff, everything is perfectly well organized until the tour day!
We did 2 tours with them:
- 1 day panorama-route tour which included pick-up from the airport as well as 1 night stay in Graskop
Superb experience, no delay at all, we covered beyond what we want and we got a very friendly, genuine and super well-informed tour guide (/our driver), Hans! During our trip, he made sure that we always feel comfortable and well taken care of :-)
- 1 day western-cap tour
Same as the panorama-route tour, we got a very nice tour guide, Caz! She is punctual and she shared many detail information, we feel like finish reading 1 whole book during our tour, excellent! Exceeded our expectation, we covered so many places in NO rush at all: Clifton, Chapmans Peak, Hout Bay (Caz managed to arrange our trip to the Seal island too, yeay!), Cape point, Cape of good hope, Boulders Beach, Simon town and some couple quick stops to enjoy amazing view along the road.
Overall, our experiences and beautiful moments are made happened because of Wild Wings Safaris (Mike), thanks so much!!!!

Over the top!
My two children and I planned our Safari vacation a year in advance and went through Wild Wings to plan our two week vacation. Clare van der Breggen was superb to work with! This was the biggest trip I have ever been on and I had a lot of questions. She got right back to me with answers for everything. The itinerary was very complete with step by step details of what was happening each day, who was picking us up etc... She had us staying in nice accommodations that were very reasonable (very comfortable beds which is important). Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is amazing and I highly recommend to anyone going on a Safari Holiday! Clare had suggested we go in August which is still winter and allows for easier sightings of the animals and she was right! So glad we chose that time. Weather was perfect! I will be returning to South Africa and will be using Wild Wings for planning my trip.

I want to go back now!
I can't say enough good things about Wild Wing Safaris. From the booking process with Clare to the transfers everything went so smoothly and as planned. Clare was so helpful in helping us plan our trip. We did a combo of 2 nights in Skukuza and 2 nights at a private lodge. It was the perfect combo, I can't compare the 2 because they were totally different experiences but I'm glad she recommended both for us it was ideal for our honeymoon.
Simon was our guide in Kruger at Skukuza, he was recommended from friends, so we requested to have him. He's fantastic, he obviously loves what he does and has a passion for nature/wildlife. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, Africa and nature. His passion and love for what he does shines through every second of the day! He's also a fantastic cook, he cooked us breakfast and dinner everyday and it was amazing!
We saw the big 5 on our first game drive which was very rare according to Simon. We didn't get to see a Cheetah so we're trying to figure out when we can go back to see that and all the other animals again. The entire experience was unbelievable, I wish I could go back right now!! It was the ultimate honeymoon, a trip of a lifetime!!
