A trip of a lifetime
Recently experienced a truly memorable trip to South Africa. We looked at suggested itineraries offered by Wild Wings Safaris and went on to make some adjustments and additions. We wanted to spend more time in some of the places and to add a train journey from Victoria Falls to Pretoria. Our requests and suggestions were welcomed by Claire. She was able to confirm and work out our changing itinerary expeditiously. Any of our questions were answered immediately. We spent three nights in Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, three nights on the Rovos train, two nights in Johannesburg, two nights at Kruger Park, three nights at a private game lodge, and four nights in Cape Town. A great itinerary. In Johannesburg, definitely stay at the Africa Sky Guest House. Wild Wings Safaris recommended places to stay were all excellent. The Kruger Park and private game reserve should both be experienced. Each offers a unique experience. Between both stays, we experienced the viewing of all the big five and countless other animals, big and small. Excellent guides and trackers.
We highly recommend Wild Wings Safaris. Also, very important, they give you a very fair price.

Exellent safari
We were very satisfied with the safari. We saw beautiful scenery and more animals than we had dreamed. We saw "big five" several times and totally we saw 22 different mammals. Everything was organized well and the young guide Armand was excellent.

Awesome Holidays
Was doing my research on safari and came upon Wild Wings Safari, and started communicating with Cathari, bombarding her with questions, and she was able to give us what we need to know and in a fast and professional manner. Helped us with our last minute trip arrangement and sent us to Mohlabetsi Private Lodge which is very professional and wonderful lodge. The entire booking experience with Wild Wings had been more than pleasant and the stay with Mohlabetsi was also one of the best experience we had.
Thanks Cathari for making our wedding anniversary trip an unforgettable trip of our life completed with the romantic dinner arrangement. Definitely will go with them for our next safari trip
Everything perfect.
The organization of the transportations, the quality of the lodges, and the amability of the people we met has been outstanding.

Very professional and trustworthy
We were really very satisfied with everything that Madi from the Wild Wings scheduled for our group - from the pick up at the airport upon our arrival to SA and arranging for our skis and boots to be picked up at Tambo and taken to Africa Sky Gesthouse for safekeeping and then drive to Kruger where we had more than wonderful time. We consider ourselves lucky for having Simon with our group - he is really a master of his job, and he loves doing it...so we also felt good with him around. We managed to see the big 5 and more, and enjoyed every minute to the blast....also in our meals given that Jacques (sorry if I misspelt his name) is an excellent cook and dinning in the Skukuza is something extraordinary by itself...The accommodation there was also nice, although basic - but to our expectations. Definitely excellent value for money.

Fantastic 5 Day Best of Kruger Park Safari - surpassed all expectations
Traveling with Wild Wings Safari was a fantastic experience! one I plan to repeat this year. The admin and communication during planning was excellent and from our collection at the airport by our guide Simon - it couldn't have been better. Simon was our guide , cook and driver - and while being very professional and a great cook, his experience and knowledge made this trip unforgettable. Simon made this a memorable trip I can't wait to repeat. This is an excellent option for anyone who wants a fantastic Kruger Park trip with someone else managing all the food, travel, accommodation and takes cares of all the arrangements.

Fabulous experience with Wild-Wings-Safaris in Kruger Park
From the very beginning of our planning for this trip, Clare, our Wild-Wings agent, was totally on top of every detail and e-mailed frequently to keep us up-to-date. Simon, our guide for the 5 days, was outstanding, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He went out of his way to be sure we knew what was going to happen everyday and was a wealth of information on mammals, birds, reptiles, terrain, and the environment. He also had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great cook! We will definitely recommend Wild Wings to our friends knowing they will thoroughly enjoy this Kruger Park safari.

Would give 10 stars if possible!
I visited with my wife in September 2015 as part of our honeymoon. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
As Safari novices, I put out a few quotes (through this site) several months back and was instantly impressed with Wild Wings. Gavin in the office, put together a great package from us and we both felt confident in the company even before the Safari. Gavin was even helping us out with connecting flights and definitely seemed like he knew what he was doing.
The Safari itself was incredible. Our guide Simon was incredibly experienced, and even though we were apparently lucky, we managed to see the big 5 (several times) plus Cheetahs, Wild dogs, hyeinas, honey badgers and all kinds of other wildlife. Simon's pretty modest, but alot of what we got to see was because he knew were to look and knew the park like the back of his hand.
Our accommodation was basic but very comfortable. We spent so little time there that it genuinely didn't matter. The beds were comfy and that's all we cared about! All the food we has was delicious.
I would definitely recommend Wild Wings. I think me and my wife will go again and they are the only company we would book with now.

A dream come true delivered with expertise and efficiency!
If you are going to go on a Safari in South Africa, then you need to be with a guide who loves animals, loves his job and knows where to go. Although it is his job, I don't think he really works a day in his life, with the exception of loading luggage and cooking amazing meals! Simon is the epitome of the perfect Safari guide. His vast knowledge and passion for Kruger Park are exceptional. There was not one question I asked during our 5 days with him that he could not answer. And while we all know that the ultimate goal is to see The Big Five, there is so much more to see and learn about. Simon did that for us. I came home with a video of a dung beetle rolling his fresh dung ball across the road. I watched as a group of grasshoppers crossed the road in front of us in a large cluster and then understood why as Simon explained this to us. Yes, it is exhausting, yes you are up early every day, and get to bed late. But you are on safari in Africa and if you want to see everything you possibly can and learn more than you ever dreamed, then this is the company to work with. Our family has the luxury of using pass benefits to fly. As a result, this trip was booked very last minute. We had been watching the flights to and from Johannesburg and were quite confident we could get there and back with no issues. On January 25th, we booked our 5 day Safari with Wild Wings. And on February 1st we departed for Atlanta due to a huge blizzard in Minneapolis. Our 15+ hour flight from Atlanta to Johannesbury left on Wednesday evening and we arrived at 5:30 pm on Thursday where Gilbert from AfricaSky House greeted us. Everything was perfect. Our room, our dinner and breakfast and then, Simon showed up at precisely 8am to drive the 6.5 hours to Kruger. He was professional, friendly and very, very efficient. Simon has been a Safari Guide for 14 years and 11 of them have been spent with Wild Wings. I don't think we could have been blessed with a better experience. Granted, some of the days were very long, but we saw so much, I really didn't care. Simon taught us so much and his passion and love for Kruger is incredibly obvious. We saw everything we dreamed of in just the first day, including a cheetah kill, lions, elephants, giraffes, hyena, cape buffalo, wildebeest and too many to name. We did a bush walk that was off the charts as we encountered a pride of lions with a fresh kill, we did a night drive and saw 3 male lions eating a hippo. All told we saw at least 47 lions during our trip. When we arrived at Satara, we were treated to a 3 night stay in the Frankl Guest house complete with 5 bedrooms and our own private watering hole. The pictures we took are phenomenal. Simon should be on NatGeo. He is that good. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Wild Wings. This really was a dream come true. I miss Kruger every single day and I will forever be thankful for the incredible journey we experienced with you.
