Yet another awesome safari expertly organised by Wild Wings.
This was my third safari with Wild Wings. The trip was, as ever, superbly arranged and organised by Madi. We stayed in Skukuza Camp in south Kruger for a few nights and then transferred further north to Elephant Plains in Sabi Sands for the remainder of our holiday. Simon was our guide in Skukuza - his innate knowledge of animals and birds has, in my view, never been surpassed by any other guide I have been on safari with. We had amazing sightings (particularly the wild dog/hyena skirmish) and a lot of fun too. Elephant Plains was also fantastic and the leopard sightings we had there were beyond our expectations.
I honestly don't think we could better the experiences we had on this safari, but are already planning our next safari with Wild Wings - I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you everyone at Wild Wings for such a fantastic holiday.

My family and I had a fantastic time on the Safari that Wild Wings recommended and booked for us.
Wild Wings Safari booked us on Safari at Elephant Plains lodge - it was spectacular! The personal service from the moment you arrived from staff and guides was outstanding. Not only was the tracking brilliant, but Dawi, our guide, was also really good at predicting which direction the animals would move and was thus able to often get a good spot ahead of them so often we could watch them ambling leisurely towards us. It was phenomenal. We saw loads.....up close! His off road driving was spectacular too. There were so many magical moments both at the lodge and on the drives. The setting was fantastic. The food was also fantastic. And eating outside in the evening was pretty special too.
Wild Wings also booked us into Hippo Hollow for New Years eve. The welcome and service there too was outstanding. We got to watch the hippos in the river and come up onto the grass while we having dinner. A new years eve to remember!
The planning and organisation of our trip was great - very efficient and professional. In the end, though, it is the recommendations that count for so much......so five stars and a massive Thank You to Wild Wings Safari for Elephant Plains and Hippo Hollow. A magical time for me and my family.

Great experience, very affordable, with first class service.
We couldn't be more pleased with our safari experience booked through Wild Wings Safaris. Madi helped us decide where to go with very little advance notice and we decided on 2 nights each in Chobe National Park, Kruger National Park, and the San Sabi private game reserve. We saw much more than we ever expected and we were glad we visited all three as they were all different. All the transfers arranged by Madi worked flawlessly. We were especially happy with our guide, Simon, in Kruger. We stayed at the Skukuza Rest Camp, and though it's not as luxurious as our private lodge accommodations, it was plenty adequate. It was very nice to stay inside the park and not miss out on the early game drives if you have to wait to enter the park in the morning. Simon took care of everything, including cooking our delicious meals. He was very knowledgeable and we would not have seen 10% of what we saw if we had tried to do it ourselves. We felt very pampered and well taken care of. Madi also coordinated our days in Johannesburg with suggested tours and lodging in addition to a side trip to Victoria Falls. She was a wealth of information no matter what topic was thrown at her. I can't imagine you can go wrong booking with them.

Amazing Safari Trip
We were extremely happy with the service and tour provided by Wild Wings Safaris and our tour guide Simon was utterly fantastic during our 4N 5D Kruger Safari trip. They were able to accommodate our request for a Panorama Route tour on our way back to Johannesburg as well. We saw all the Big 5 and Simon's knowledge and passion for his work is admirable. We stayed 2 nights in Sukuza Camp and 2 nights in Satara and breakfast and dinner were personally cooked by Simon (delicious Brai and fusion food). We highly recommend Wild Wings Safari as our preferred safari tour operator.

Excellent, professional service!!
We booked the safari segment of our South African vacation through Madi at Wild Wings, choosing lodges in Sabi Sands and Klaserie. Madi dealt completely with every question or concern that we had. We had never gone on safari before so we had loads of questions which Madi patiently answered. She made excellent suggestions and gave us top notch advice. We found Madi to be extremely knowledgeable. We would definitely use Wild Wings and Madi again to plan other African trips.

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!

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.

Amazing safari
I found out about Wild Wings via the internet when looking at doing a safari when in South africa last year and dropped them a line asking for information.. Madi Nothnagel who is one of the tour consultants there reached out to me to udnerstand what i was looking for and came up with an amazing plan which sounded good on paper so decided to give it a shot. I kept low expectations and it was jsut amazing. Everythign that was promised was over delivered. Whlle naturally on safari there are good days and bad days when you just dont see what you want....on the whole though did see what ever I wanted to. The lodges recommened were great.
I did another one last week and this was at short notice and again Madi and Wild wings delivered.
A point to note about Wild wings and Madi was their prompt response and the fact that they would follow up before and after the safari to see if there were any issues. Any queries were promptly replied to. The booking process over the internet was great and safe.
As such would strongly recommend them.
