Amazing
from start to finish the whole thing has been amazing . It was nerve racking at first using a S/A based agent to organise our tour here from the UK but using a company that has the local expert knowledge paid off . After a few months of discussion back n forth via email we finally settled on a trip that suited us ( father n daughter) 15 days to include kruger NP, cape town n zimbabwe with additional activities booked. Im just back from that trip and i can honestly say we've been amazed at how smooth the whole process has been, and how wonderful the accomodation has been at every destination. The whole trip went as planned in the itinerary . From the transfers to the activities we booked to the hotels we stayed at. We've had the best few weeks in africa that we will definetely be coming back at some point in the future

Yet another great holiday with Wild Wings
My seventh trip with Wild Wings, with more to come I hope.... I go on safari every year, and have always used Wild Wings to organise my travel. From the superb organisation in their George office (thank you Madi) to our trips with Simon in Kruger (many thanks again, Simon) to the wonderful lodges I've stayed in over the years (particularly Elephant Plains and the wonderful Kambaku River Sands), I can't recommend Wild Wings highly enough. They deserve all the plaudits they receive.

Wild wings organized the perfect safari for us!
I cannot overstate how amazing our Safari was- we loved it! Madi with Wild wings arranged our transportation to and from Johannesburg and booked our stay at Bateleur Camp. At Bateleur the people, the accommodation, the food, the guides, and the game drives were all perfect. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a combination of luxury mixed with the bush. But if you don't like loud animal sounds at night or encountering antelope on the path while walking to breakfast it may not be the camp you. Thank you to Madi and Wild Wing for all your help coordinating this trip. You made everything easy and stress free!

Trip of a life time!
Excellent and professional service with our tour operator. Exceeded our expectations. Group guide was excellent and took great care of us. Fed well! Accommodations Skukuza were simple and clean as well as whimsical in their design. Saw so much on the safari and learned more so much about the animals and plants. This is so much more than a Big Five adventure. The dung beetle was a blast to watch! Tour operator coordinated pre and post lodging as well as tour of Joburg.

Very professional and friendly tour at a affordable price
Doing the safari with Wild Wings was one the the best decisions in our South Africa trip.
The booking process was very flexible and patient with our requests. The itineraries were very clear and thorough. Even though we communicated only via emails, I felt at ease during the whole process
The tour itself was really well organized. Nikki, our guide was extremely knowledgeable, full of energy, very friendly and always kept the guests needs first. She managed the logistics of whole 5 day safari very well. As an additional bonus, we had an outdoor catering company for the meals (I don't think that is a regular feature)
We managed to see quite a lot wild life, but were unlucky to miss the leopard and cheetah.
All in all it was a great experience that I would definitely recommend at a good price

Fantastic, life changing adventure
Wild Wings were superb throughout our whole safari experience in Kruger. Gavin provided a fantastic schedule and talked us through the different options available before we booked. The communication in advance was superb and everything was so clear. The whole tour far exceeded our expectations from being picked up at the airport to being dropped back at the airport. Our tour guide, Nicky was superb in every way with so much detail on every drive and provided us a real in depth insight to the park and everything with in it. The accommodation was fantastic and the night time dinners were amazing, the quality of food provided was incredible and it was all local food. Wild Wingers were brilliant and when we do another safari we will only choose Wild Wings.

Like a smart friend planning your holiday
I am so so glad to discovered wild wings safari. The choices of safari, places to stay and how to get from A to B can be overwhelming. Unlike going to a big city in Europe where you can figure most things out yourself and plan your trip yourself, Africa is a whole different scenario. Without assistance and not being aware of what you are getting yourself into could have been catastrophic.
I worked with Michael Milan and he was great. He very much understood what I wanted to do and had a very good idea of what I would like for my budget. He was flexible in figuring out changes to my itinerary. Most of all, he is aware of places that he believed I would like and he was spot on. The safari lodge that he picked for me, I simply can't imagine another place that was better for me. He helped me figure out all the logistics of getting from one location to another balancing speed and budget.
I normally do not rely on tour operators but I knew this was the prudent thing to do for this Safari. Michael provided me with lots of useful information that I hadn't thought of or things that would have taken me a while to figure out. I consider myself very experienced in traveling and found his info invaluable. Communication was frequent, timely and thorough both before and after the trip.
I look forward to working with them again on my next safari. I am now hooked.

Incredible Kruger Safari Experience
Before booking this safari I was a bit torn whether I should just plan a safari myself or book through a tour group. I am so glad that I chose to book through Wild Wings Safari -- it was 100% worth the money! I booked for a group of 15 friends over a 3 day/2 night safari.
-- The guides were incredible and knowledgeable. We tried our best to stump them with a question about Kruger, animals, or anything else, and they knew literally everything. Their knowledge of where to go when completely helped us maximize our animal-viewing experience.
-- It was an awesome local touch of having a South African chef cook us his favorite meals.
-- Logistically, everything was taken care of, from lodging to meals to transport.
Can not recommend Wild Wings enough!

Amazing Safari
The Safari was amazing! This experience was more than I could have ever dreamed of.
Even though I booked the safari through a travel agency, Gavin (Wild Wings), reached out to let me know that I was going to be picked up and dropped off at my hotel instead of the OR Tambo Airport, making the beginning of the safari even more enjoyable. He checked up on me couple of times making sure that every thing was going well.
The Skukuza's camp was perfect! the little hut was comfortable and clean, also the camp's store was awesome.
Sam was the perfect guide, he was really experienced spotting animals from miles away, he was knowledgeable and he patiently answered any questions. Sam made sure that we were getting the best view of the animals.
At nights after the game drives, I had a great time sharing with Nicky (another Wild Wings Safaris guide ), Sam and the rest of the group eating great South African food prepared by Jacques. If you are vegan or vegetarian like me, don't worry Jacques got you covered.
If I could give Wild Wings Safaris 10 stars I completely would!

Excellent and accurate preparations and execution of multi-country trip in Africa.
The dialogue when preparing our trip, the presentation of options and booking and payment process were clear, timely and accurate. On site, the arrangements related to transfers, hotels and lodges as well as following agreed itineraries was impeccable. The chosen destinations and accommodations, including the included safari program on site were able beat our (high) expectations.
