Fabulous experience, with no issues, because of excellent attention to detail by Madi.
This is the second time we have booked through Wild Wings and it has been wonderful service, the accomodation was great, we stayed at Elephant Plains Lodge, and saw lots of wild life and hospitality was excellent, would stay there again. We also stayed at Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana and could not fault it again plenty of animal sightings. On our way to Elephant Plains we stayed overnight at Chestnut Country House, in Hazyview, it was beautiful, we were well looked after by host Christine, it is in a beautiful setting with tasty home cooked meals. Could not fault any of our holiday, and would choose to have Wild Wings organise our safari again. Thanks Madi.

Can't imagine how to top this vacation
We decided in February to go on our first safari in June to celebrate our birthdays, and MadI at Wild Wings made it happen with some quick planning. Admitting we have no comparisons, we can't imagine how this experience could have been any better from beginning to end. MadI worked with us to tailor the itinerary to our desires and shared advice to keep us on the right track - being prompt and clear in our email correspondence. She was great to let us book our own airfare and some hotels using travel points to reduce some of the cost, and where she made the choices we were more than satisfied with accommodations. The guides that Wild Wings contracted were exceedingly professional and knowledgable - perfectly suited to our travel personality.
In the end, we were exceedingly pleased with the overall variety and quality of our tour and the value provided. We whole-heartedly recommend Wild Wings and heard similar recommendations as we traveled.

Top class experience!
Incredible experience staying at the Greenfire Game Lodge in the Greater Kruger National Park booked through Wild Wings Safaris. The whole trip was a 1st class operation from the accommodation (which were stunning modern bush cabins looking out onto a large river bed where we had various wild animals coming to drink from everyday - herds of wild elephant, buffalo and numerous deer/antelope) the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful, the food which was outstanding, varied and cooked taking into account my wifes diet allergies and the safaris were amazing where our tracker did a great job in finding us all the animals and also taking us on a lovely 'on foot' guided walk as well. The transport was also all arranged through Wild Wings Safaris and this was very good as well taking the Ashtons Shuttle bus from to and from OR Tambo airport.
Firstly I would highly recommend booking through Wild Wings Safaris and staying at the Greenfire Game Lodge!! And secondly staying on the Greater Kruger National Park was an unforgettable experience and something that myself and my partner will always treasure!!

Wild Wings Safari Absolutely Delivered
We worked with Madi at Wild Wings Safari to organize our trip to Africa. Madi was amazing in helping us customize our itinerary to suit our plans, and we were absolutely blown away by how seamless everything was executed once in Africa. We booked all of our flights, but Madi arranged for all of our lodging, tours, transfers and even some meals. Our trip included 3 different countries (6 different cities in all) and every transfer went off without a hitch. The professionalism throughout was very reassuring, and we will definitely contact Wild Wings Safari for our next visit to Africa!

Great help from Madi and an amazing Kruger safari with Simon!
Wild Wings (Madi) organized based on our wishes a 24 days trip to S-A (J'burg - Pilanesberg - Garden Route - Cape Town - Kruger). We stayed in very nice lodges / guesthouses on great locations with very nice owners / staf and service. Our holiday ended with a 5 day Safari (Sakuza & Satara) with Simon. Simon is the absolutely the best! Enthousiastic, large knowledge from animals and from S-A, a great cook, a nice guy and most important an awesome animal spotter. Another advantage for us is that he speaks Dutch, which was very nice for our 2 boys to ask him questions of all animals.
Madi, Simon & Wild Wings Safaris many thanks !!!

Simply the Best
First off, I did a lot of searching finding a place that would help me plan something with budget in mind, yet still quality. Look no further. Gavin is absolutely the best. He took the time to carefully put together a 2 week stay in southern Africa which included Victoria Falls, Chobe, Kruger and Capetown. He planned all of the hotels, activities, plane trips, transportation and of course the safari which is also run by Wild Wings. Simon was the safari guide, and you couldn't find somebody funnier, more knowledgeable, helpful and a great cook!! The other tour operators used by Wild Wings were top notch also. I highly recommend contacting Gavin and seeing what he can put together for you if you are planning a southern or central trip to Africa.

I want to go back now!
I can't say enough good things about Wild Wing Safaris. From the booking process with Clare to the transfers everything went so smoothly and as planned. Clare was so helpful in helping us plan our trip. We did a combo of 2 nights in Skukuza and 2 nights at a private lodge. It was the perfect combo, I can't compare the 2 because they were totally different experiences but I'm glad she recommended both for us it was ideal for our honeymoon.
Simon was our guide in Kruger at Skukuza, he was recommended from friends, so we requested to have him. He's fantastic, he obviously loves what he does and has a passion for nature/wildlife. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, Africa and nature. His passion and love for what he does shines through every second of the day! He's also a fantastic cook, he cooked us breakfast and dinner everyday and it was amazing!
We saw the big 5 on our first game drive which was very rare according to Simon. We didn't get to see a Cheetah so we're trying to figure out when we can go back to see that and all the other animals again. The entire experience was unbelievable, I wish I could go back right now!! It was the ultimate honeymoon, a trip of a lifetime!!

Over the top!
My two children and I planned our Safari vacation a year in advance and went through Wild Wings to plan our two week vacation. Clare van der Breggen was superb to work with! This was the biggest trip I have ever been on and I had a lot of questions. She got right back to me with answers for everything. The itinerary was very complete with step by step details of what was happening each day, who was picking us up etc... She had us staying in nice accommodations that were very reasonable (very comfortable beds which is important). Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is amazing and I highly recommend to anyone going on a Safari Holiday! Clare had suggested we go in August which is still winter and allows for easier sightings of the animals and she was right! So glad we chose that time. Weather was perfect! I will be returning to South Africa and will be using Wild Wings for planning my trip.

5 days of intense wildlife watching: excellent safari guide and excellent organization.
Our experience of 5 days of safari in Kruger National Park with Wild Wings Safaris was amazing. Excellent organization from the beggining of the trip (pick up/left in the Hotel on time), fresh food for breakfasts and dinners ... and Simon, the safari guide, was an excellent guide searching for wildlife, showing us animals and explainning about their way of life, diet, ... In summary, an expert safari guide! He also created a good environment among all who were sharing the safari. All in all, this safari fulfilled our expectations by far! I would recommend it to anybody who really wants to experience a real safari.

Super Organized and Professional-Private Tour!
Michael (Mike) from Wild Wings Safaris team had helped us since 1st email correspondence.. though its only email, no phone call and other stuff, everything is perfectly well organized until the tour day!
We did 2 tours with them:
- 1 day panorama-route tour which included pick-up from the airport as well as 1 night stay in Graskop
Superb experience, no delay at all, we covered beyond what we want and we got a very friendly, genuine and super well-informed tour guide (/our driver), Hans! During our trip, he made sure that we always feel comfortable and well taken care of :-)
- 1 day western-cap tour
Same as the panorama-route tour, we got a very nice tour guide, Caz! She is punctual and she shared many detail information, we feel like finish reading 1 whole book during our tour, excellent! Exceeded our expectation, we covered so many places in NO rush at all: Clifton, Chapmans Peak, Hout Bay (Caz managed to arrange our trip to the Seal island too, yeay!), Cape point, Cape of good hope, Boulders Beach, Simon town and some couple quick stops to enjoy amazing view along the road.
Overall, our experiences and beautiful moments are made happened because of Wild Wings Safaris (Mike), thanks so much!!!!
