Fantastic Experience--Wonderful Guide, Delicious Food, Good Accommodations
Wild Wings Safaris vastly exceeded our expectations--from communication and setup with Madi to the guided experience with Simon. My fiance and I did the 3-day/2-night safari in Kruger National Park with Simon with origin from Johannesburg. Simon was very knowledgeable about wildlife and travel, and has an eagle's eye in spotting wild animals while also driving the open safari vehicle. Further, he knew the routes well and communicated with other guides to head toward an ideal location for spotting big game. He also prepared delicious barbecue-type/bush breakfasts and dinners for our group of 8 people. Everything went very smoothly and we cannot rave about our experience enough.
The only suggestion, unrelated to Wild Wings in particular, is to bring layers as the game drives can get pretty cold in an open vehicle, especially in the morning, and to also bring binoculars which are noted in the itinerary we were provided with ahead of time. Also, we stayed at Skukuza rest camp, and the internet at the restaurant was very poor, but overall, the accommodations were great considering we were staying in the park itself and could wake up and get a jump start on the early morning game drives.

Prompt, proffessional and personalized.
It has been a pleasure to interact with you, everything is transparent and precise. The process is easy & smooth and the personalized attention is very reassuring. The overall quality of transportation & facilities were comfortable and the friendliness of each and every person through the tour makes the experience memorable.

Excellent planning; friendly, knowledgeable staff; experience AND enthusiasm - safari of a lifetime!
Wild Wings Safaris exceeded all our expectations. Our first contact was with Clare who listened to our ideas before creating a customised package for us that reflected our interests and matched our budget. Having never visited South Africa before, we had plenty of questions and queries, all of which were dealt with promptly and helpfully. The safari itself was an incredible experience and far beyond what we had anticipated. From the small details, like checking in to each camp for us and escorting us to pick up points for other activities, to making sure each day was packed with amazing sightings, Simon was the perfect guide (not to mention an excellent and accommodating chef!). His vast experience was only matched by the genuine enthusiasm he showed for the inhabitants of Kruger National Park. Thanks to Simon, we had frequent and close encounters with The Big Five and much more, such as wild dogs, hyenas, honey badgers and nearly 150 different birds over a five day winter trip. Wild Wings Safaris provided us with memories that will last a life time, and we recommend them to all without hesitation.

Wind Wings helped us plan the PERFECT safari for our family
Working with Clare at Wild Wings was so easy. She helped us find the perfect lodges for our budget, our goals and our two children. We had an unforgettable trip, each lodge exceeded our expectations, and there were absolutely no problems with the various transportation details between lodges. We would highly absolutely use Wild Wings to book our future trips and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks for an amazing trip!

Amazing experience - insightful guide, excellent sightings, fabulous food, lovely group.
From beginning to end this was one truly amazing holiday. Madi our travel consultant put together a really special holiday for us. Victoria Falls where we did white water rafting and devil's pool, staying in the lovely Ilala lodge, Capetown with Table Mountain and Robben Island staying in the fabulous Rouge en Rose and Kruger National Park where Simon guided us through an amazing 3 day safari (seeing all big 5 in one day), educated, entertained and fed us. We were met by friendly, knowledgeable and helpful WildWings staff at each stage of the journey. David taught us the 8 countries surrounding Zambia, Shaun welcomed us warmly in Capetown and Simon was our 5 star guide. Honestly this was a fantastic holiday and I would recommend WildWings to everyone looking for a safari holiday with a difference. Thank you WildWings.

Brilliant 4 day Kruger Safari with Wild Wings
We have just returned from South Africa after what can only be described as a holiday of a lifetime. From the very beginning Clare was an absolute star - helping me decide on what I was really looking for and organising everything for me. She was extremely patient/quick to respond to my endless questions and 50 plus emails.... A massive thanks also goes to Simon who was our excellent guide/chef/host for the first four days of our Safari journey. Simon was an experienced and knowledgeable guide who made every safari exciting and memorable. The game drives exceeded all our expectations - we can't count the number of times we saw the Big 5 and the game drives were just out of this world. Simon is also a great cook - and his enormous brunches deserve a special mention! The rest of our holiday at Hippo Hollow and Idube Private Game Reserve went like a dream and was superb. Thanks again Clare at Wild Wings for organising everything for us. Wild Wings exceeded our expectations - just book it!

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.
