3 nights, 4 days in Kruger
Ryan has been simply as good as a tour guide can be.
He was punctual, extremely knowledgeable and willing to share his life experiences with us. His wide-ranging knowledge of animals and their ethology allowed us to learn quite a lot in such a short time.
He answered all the umpteenth questions we asked him kindly and fully even at 5 o'clock in the morning while sipping coffee and nibbling some rusks before the gate opened and we could head into the wild.
Unquestioningly, if in the future we have the chance to spend some more time in South Africa, he will be our guide.
Thank you!

Wonderful safari with a young motivated family team providing a personalised adventure.
Our group of 6 mature Australians really enjoyed our peronalised 5 day Kruger and Panorama Route Safari with the owners and now our great friends, Ryan and Thale together with their delightful young African assistant Langi. All booking communication was prompt, easy and helpful. The personalised service, expert cultural and environmental commentary on the safari from start to finish was enthusiastic and informative. We really enjoyed the personalised bush catering and mid level camp accomodation. I highly recommend this family based company to all age groups who want value for money, without fancy frills, but who want to experience and learn about Africa to the maximum in the time available. Kruger is awesome!

amazing experience
We went on our safari with Chris and Lungi as a family and all of us enjoyed it thoroughly. Both guys were amazing and very helpful.
Chris knew all of the animals including birds and could answer any questions about them. On top of that, he could always spot animals, even if they were far, hidden or so. He was really excellent guide and we are very happy we had him.
The only thing we would recommend for improvement is not to include the night game drive provided by Satara camp into the safari, as it was extremely unprofessional.

Absolutely Amazing!
These guys are amazing!
I've just returned from an 11day North to South Tour of Kruger with my Grandfather- and i cant put to words how good it was.
We looked into several tour companies before coming across Wild Planet and im so glad we chose these guys but they were so helpful and professional compared to many of the others, from the very first email contact to the end of the tour couldn't have been a better experience; their knowledge of the area/wildlife and generally everything we came across was outstanding - the food was great, the sightings were unbelievable, and we had a fantastic time!
The only bad thing - is the tour came to an end :-( but its memories that will stay with us forever.. THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH SO MUCH! :-D :-D

Excellent guides and trip itinerary
The safari was better than we'd hoped for! We could not have asked for better guides- Ruan and Federica were AMAZING! The trip itinerary was well-planned and we really feel like we got to experience the best that the Kruger had to offer! Would totally recommend to anyone looking for an affordable, once in a lifetime adventure!!
A great experience for a small group of six Aussie friends with Ryan and Thales' Wild Planet Safari
Our small group was fortunate to choose Wild Planet Safari to host our recent visit to South Africa and Kruger NP. Ryan and Thale met us in Johannesburg, took us to breakfast, helped organise our days sightseeing there and then collected us bright and early the next morning for the drive to Kruger. Ryan's knowledge of the birds, animals and topography is faultless and his obvious enthusiasm for locating likely spots for great viewing gave us up close photo opportunities. At one point we were surrounded by 17 lions..... (In total we spotted 29 different animals and 43 birds.) Not forgetting to mention Thales input and sharp eyes. Lungsani backstopping with preparation of meals etc made late morning breakfasts after (very) early safari welcome and dinners under the stars were great social times with Ryan and Thales extended family. We were made to feel very welcome and more than just paying customers.
Thanks from all your Aussie friends.
Regards Jim and Jan
Delightful young man, full of knowledge and an obvious love of "Kruger" animals & birds.
What an amazing experience we and 4 other "Aussies" had visiting "Kruger", in March 2018 under the wonderful leadership of Ryan & Thale & their very delightful African assistant Langi. An exceptional young couple who were a pleasure to spend time with around the campfire enjoying the delicious meals prepared by Langi. Ryan is a book of knowledge, in all areas whether it be animals, birds or the area we traveled in. He knew exactly the places to visit, and the right time of day to do so to find all the animals & birds we sighted.
A faultless 5 days way beyond our expectations. Would recommend them to all thinking of visiting "Kruger".

The best safari company to feel at home, a wild one.
We loved our tour with Wild Planet. They made us feel really confortable, even in a wild place. They were really aware what they were doing and we felt secure in their hands. The handmade cook was SUPERB. <3

Professional, responsible and caring tour of Kruger.
We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Wild Planet Safari in Kruger National Park. From our initial enquiries and follow up questions and information, to being collected at our hotel in Johannesburg, to being dropped off at the airport, we were extremely well looked after. Ryan and Benjamin, catered well for my gluten intolerance and my wife’s vegetarian diet. The meals were varied and well prepared. The accommodation they arranged was comfortable and met our needs perfectly.
Ryan’s guiding was superb. He knew the likely spots and found an enormous variety of animals and birds. He shared his vast knowledge with us which made our experience so much richer. Benjamin’s cooking and care were matched only by his gentle, sunny disposition. Unequivocal recommendation for the trip.

They were amazing! Everything went well
Wild planet was excellent! Thale had a lot of patience to answer all my doubts. Ruan was an excellent guide. Great person. Benjamin cooks very well! I figured the safari would be in an open vehicle, and it would probably be best to view the animals, but we managed to see many! The grass was high, which made it difficult to see it as well. But we got to see the Big Five. 2 lions from afar. I thought we'd see more. But many Elephants, which surprised me. The night drive was amazing! We saw hyenas from VERY close.Totally different from the daytime sarafi. We stayed in Skukuza. Next time I'll stay in Satara for about 4 or 5 days to enjoy it more and see more cats.
