Very good service
My husband and I went on a trip to South Africa for 11 days in the end of June. We stayed 6 days in Cape Town and 5 days in Kruger Park at the Baobab Ridge lodge area for a safari experience. All the pick ups and tranfers to and from the airport and between places inside of South Africa worked out very well, the service was very good and efficient. The communication between us and the operator was impecable. All our questions were answered and everything was organized with detail and caution. The operator was also very easy to reach out at all times before the trip and also during. Our guide in Cape Town was very knowledgeable, she knew a lot about not just the history of the country, but also about endemic vegetation and wild life. We definitely learned a lot with her, which was amazing. She also knew where to get certain things that are traditional in south africa. She also bought me a lip balm for my dry lips. Very caring and thoughtful. We spent one day out in the ocean for a shark cage experience. Very unique and all worked out pretty well too. In the Kruger Park at the logde where we stayed, people were very nice, the facilities were great, pretty luxurious. The food was so delicious, I am pretty sure the cook was a top chef. The guides in the safari were very nice and we also learned a lot with them about the animals and the surroundings. It felt really crazy and spectacular to see the animals in their habitat and so close. It was a fabulous experience and I truly recommend this company to organize such a trip.

Excellent safari!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Wild Wings! Our tour guide, Nicky, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see all of the big 5 (we realize this is not guaranteed) and many more animals as well. The trip was comfortable, the food was great, there was absolutely nothing to complain about. I highly recommend Wild Wings for anyone looking for a Kruger safari!

Trip of a life time
We had the best time on safari - hands down one of the best trips and experiences we’ve had. The pick up/transfer with the external company and then wild wings into the park was super smooth, as was the trip back to J’burg for us on the transfer bus for our evening flight.
The safari itself was exceptional - we felt 4 days was perfect for us - we were really fortunate to see the whole magnificent 7, and the way the guides communicate with each other to help ensure that all clients get a great experience in the park was fantastic. We were the only people on our safari and the experience of having our guide Rufus to ourself and timings / locations then being entirely flexible was excellent - we were surprised at how little free time we had by the time we’d been out on a drive, detoured to various sightings and then popped back for a brief lunch, before back out again and home for dinner.
Accommodation was simple (as described) but perfectly clean and serviceable for what we needed. Rufus cooked for us each evening, and this was also great - plenty of tasty and varied food. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Rufus and sitting to eat with him; the opportunity to eat as a group with others on safari or have the option to go to the camp restaurant for dinner would have been an added bonus but this isn’t to say the food and experience we had wasn’t great! Both of us were astonished how nice ostrich was and the meals Rufus did were delicious, with us still then having a few hours in the evening before sleeping ready for the next day.
A really fabulous trip with great communication and smooth pick up/organising. We would (and already have!) recommended to friends/family as a fantastic tour provider.

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.
