The Perfect Trip to South Africa
After deciding to go to South Africa for a family trip, we had no idea exactly what to see and the best way to see it. I'm so happy we stumbled across Wild Wings. We were told they had a good reputation but we had no idea how excellent they really are! They made great recommendations for lodging in Cape Town and all of the transfers worked exactly as planned. Because of our interest in viewing animals, they recommended that we split time between Kruger National Park and a Private Reserve (Klaserie). It was the perfect combination for a safari. Our guides in Kruger took very good care of us and ensured we saw a maximum number of animals. They knew exactly how to navigate the park, find animals, and help us navigate the National Park. They also proved to be very good cooks with a lot of knowledge about the park, animals, and culture. We then transitioned to nThambo at a private reserve which resulted in a very different experience. There were only 7 guests total (4 in our group) which allowed for a very personalized experience. The lodging was unique, rustic, and very comfortable. nThambo took us off-road so that we could follow animals, get up close, and observe the wild life by being right in the bush with them. The walking safari mid-day was also enjoyable as we learned about animal tracks and plants. Finally, the dining with the other guests and guides was the perfect end to the day as we discussed animal sightings and experiences. The honey badger that walked right into camp was a fun surprise! At the end of our trip, Wild Wings arranged a scenic drive that was fantastic. We drove through the mountains with a wonderful guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the area, history, and culture. We wrapped up our trip by visiting Johannesburg and Wild Wings conveniently located us by the airport for easy transport.
I was very impressed with the recommendations, organization, and attention to detail provided by Wild Wings. Everything worked out perfectly. Through their help, our South Africa trip turned out to be more than we could have even imagined!
Great booking experience
Madi from Wild Things was great putting a 4-night safari itinerary together for us at the Sabi Sands game reserve. We stayed at two different lodges, which were both equally beautiful and the game viewing was simply amazing. We could not have been happier with the communication, information provided, booking process and organization of transfers etc. We can definitely recommend Wild Safari, we had a super experience!

Wild Wings - You've Exceeded Expectations, AGAIN
This is my second time calling upon Wild Wings for travel in the South Africa area. I will call on them again and highly recommend them to you. From our hotel arrangements in Joburg to our private guide in Joburg to hotel arrangements in Victoria Falls to lodging in Cape Town to safari with Neil in Kruger to Kambaku River Sand lodge in Timbavati reserve, everything was in order and exceeded expectations. On this my second trip to SA I brought my wife and two other couples, none of whom had been to Africa before. They were impressed the whole way.
Just as an indication of the quality and diligence of Wild Wings - our flight from Vic Falls to Cape Town was delayed and so timing for our transfer to hotel was off - NO, the driver was there and Wild Wings was calling the hotel as we arrived to make certain all was well - its service that results in return business!
I had Neil as a guide 2 years ago and asked for him again. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed him as a guide and companion. He is knowledgeable, humorous and a great cook.
The recommendation to book at Kambaku River Sands was spot on. Intend to return there.
I cannot highly recommend enough the service and value provided by Wild Wings.

An Exceptional Introduction To The African Continent
I had an absolutely fantastic time with Simon and my tour group both at Kruger National Park as well as en route. The service Simon and Wild Wings Safaris provides is exceptional. Thanks to Madi for recommending and acquiring great pre and post safari accommodation at Premier Hotel. Road transfers to and from Kruger were very comfortable and picturesque. Accommodation in Kruger National Park was also comfortable and very sufficient for our needs. The meals prepared by Simon were more than sufficient and of very good quality. It was a delight to be treated to something as exotic to my palate as ostrich! Simon and Robert are both exceptional guides whose knowledge of the park and the species indigenous therein are second to none. My (first) game viewing experience could not have been better! My main hope for the safari was to see the rhinoceros and I was treated to a rhino sighting almost daily including both white, and the more rare black, rhino. Simon informed me and my travel companions that we were very fortunate to see African wild dogs on only our second day of safari as they are very rare to see, especially in packs as large as that which we saw. Regretfully, the only animal we did not see this time around was the elusive cheetah. So, it looks like I will have to (gladly) return for another game viewing experience in the future.

An amazing experience
Wild wings are exceptional. Communication with Gavin during the booking stage was excellent with prompt replies to any questions. The safari itself was beyond our expectations. Simon was our guide and it was a privilege to share his passion and knowledge of wildlife. He was no ordinary guide and went the extra miles and hours to ensure we had as many sightings as possible. Our feet literally didn't touch the ground as if Simon had news of a sighting we were on our way - siesta or no siesta - we weren't there to sleep! Simon is also a great cook and entertaining company. When looking for a safari company we think we found a jewel in wildwings and highly recommend them.

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!

Everything was as planned. The transportation on time with a really friendly driver and the lodge was great. The staff from wild wings was very helpfull. They answered my e-mails quickly and even made a a last minute change in my reservation that worked perfectly. I definitely recommed Wild Wings to arrange a Safari at Kruger Park.
