Perfect!
5/5

I got an offer for this Safari on safari bookings and booked in a few days. The service was fast. The brochure well written and communication clear.

The safari vehicle was also very clean and Rafael and Hope were amazing guides. Hope cooked fantastic meals and Rafael knew how to make my teenager feel safe. He is also a walking encyclopedia of animal insight!

I highly recommend and we saw all the big 5, plus lots lots more. It was fun, safe and exciting.

Loved it.

from inquiry to drop off back at the airport, everything was more than expected.
5/5

When making an inquiry, you communicate directly with Thale the director. Everything is made clear and easy to understand, no surprises on the tours with no additional costs or expenses. The vehicles are owned and driven by Wild Planet Safari employees so there are no additional people or third parties you need to communicate with. You get all transport sorted and dropped off where you need to be in good time. The food is good enough and theirs plenty. The accommodation is what you want according to your budget. The pace is as fast or slow as needed. The tour guides are with you and accommodate everything needed. the financial deal was better than i could get anywhere else and having been on safari's before, great value.

Efficient, helpful and flexible.
5/5

An amazing time on a 7 day private Safari, staying both inside Kruger in 3 camps in ensuited Bungalows with airconditioning (which we needed), and outside Kruger in a private gamepark, so we had the best of both worlds. Because of our timeline and where we wanted to go we had to use a tour operator that could organise this. I had concerns about that but with a few emails back and forth Thale had everything planned for us. The experience of a private tour was good. We flew from and back to Johannesburg rather than do the road trip to Kruger. Rafael, our guide/driver inside Kruger was so knowledgeable about everything, plants, insects, birds and the animals. The big animals are what most people come to see and we did have great success with that but birding (which was of interest) was great too with our guide. Through Kruger the days were long. We had gamedrives at 4.30am and then often moving between camps so drives through the day and then evening also but there is always the excitement of seeing wildlife. It was also very hot when we were there. We saw the big 5 but also much more. The gamepark allowed for a different perspective with their group drives and experiences. Don't hesitate about booking a trip with Wild Planet Safari.

Experience of a lifetime
5/5

That was Amazing! Many thanks to you Wild Planet Safari, Thale, our great Chef and our great guide Chris.

We had a great 4-day tour. Without our guide, we would never have seen all the big 5 and we were so lucky that we were even able to see the ugly 5 several times. We felt safe and in good hands at all times. However, we did notice that no direct attention was paid to our eating habits, which we had previously indicated. It would have been great if there had been more focus on this.

But overall, we highly recommend the tour! We will remember this tour forever.

Accomodating, Friendly, Fun, & Knowledgeable!
5/5

We chose a four day private safari. Our guide Chris was fantastic! He searched out what we wanted to see and I think he was more disappointed than us when we didn't fine an animal! Hope was an excellent "chef" on the safari and kept us very well fed with the tastiest meals. Both Hope and Chris had wonderful personalities and we'd be honored to call each friend! This was an experience of a lifetime that far exceeded our expectations and left us feeling very spoiled!

We booked this less than a month before our safari date and there were a few miscommunications through email, but everything was resolved VERY quickly! We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a budget friendly awesome safari!!!
