Wild Wings know the business and deliver on all fronts
At long last we are home. We have enjoyed an amazing time. The absolute highlight for Coral and me was our incredible time in the Kruger National Park. It was, no doubt, a life changing experience. Every aspect of the holiday was exceptional. Your company's help, organisation and communication was so reassuring. Thank you for your clear contacts and kind words. The moment we met Rufus we knew we were lucky to be paired with such a gem. Every day was an adventure. He brought us within touching distance of so many beautiful creatures. He achieved his goal of showing us the 'Big Five' more than once. So many times we were in awe of the majestic elephants, the powerful lions, the illusive leopards, the thunderous rhinos and the herds of buffalo. Our personal favourites were the graceful giraffes and a family of hyenas. We even came to an emergency stop to avoid a python crossing the road. Rufus's ability to guide us was almost surpassed by his culinary skills. We had some marvellous breakfasts and delicious evening meals. I cannot emphasise enough how much we both enjoyed our safari experience. Again our sincere appreciation for organising such a wonderful holiday.

How many times can you say wow & be blown away over 4 days!!!!
As a well seasoned traveller I've been to & seen some amazing sights around the globe but nothing like this. Obviously going on a safari you have to accept that you may not see all the animals you expect to see but we were lucky enough to see all of the "Big 5" & on numerous occasions.
We booked a 3 night safari which meant we went on 8 drives in total & each one was a different adventure. Wild Wings were not the cheapest or dearest of the operators I looked at. I have shown family & friends our pictures & talked of our experiences & they can't believed what we paid, great value for money.
Our guide was Rufus. I could basically write a short novel on him. What a guy. He was friendly, funny & so so knowledgeable about the animals & the park. His enthusiasm & warmth really came through. How on earth he can see what's going on whilst driving & talking to us is amazing. He knows the park inside & out & just seemed to know where all the animals would be. We spoke to other people at the camp & they hadn't seen half of what we had. You could call it luck but we put it down to him. Prior to the start of our safari we thought we would be sharing the vehicle & tours with other people (not that we would have minded that) but it was just the two of us & Rufus. This made us feel quite privileged as you would see other vehicles with up to 10 people on board.
We were lucky enough to see a Leopard stalking a Impala, a leopard casually strolling along the side of the road, an elephant charging at 3 lions, a pride of 9 to 11 lions basking in the sun, 3 lions sat at the side of the road, a hyena trailing a pack of baboons who had a mother whose baby had died & the hyena was after it, numerous Elephants, Giraffes, Buffalos, crocodiles & hyenas. The birds were also amazing to see & hear but there were so many I couldn't mention them all. We also saw 9 vultures circling overhead in the bush but we couldn't actually see the kill but it was still a special sight to see. Basically it is the circle of life & the survival of the fittest.
Our accommodation was satisfactory & cleaned every day by a friendly maid. Rufus cooked us our breakfast & evening meal every day. He always offered us a choice of foods. There is a well stocked supermarket on the site & a restaurant (where you can access the internet free of charge).
I can't praise Wild Wings enough & the amazing Rufus. If you do manage to get him as your guide you are in for an exceptional experience & you will understand why I have praised him so much. Throughout the booking process I dealt with Michael who always replied to my numerous E-Mails & arranged easy collection from Nelspruit airport & dropped us in Johannesburg at the end of our safari.
A 10/10 Experience - Thank you Wild Wings & Rufus (The true king of the jungle)
