Lekker
This was a great adventure in the wild... We saw everything you could ask for, all from birds, hippos, lions, leopards and wild dogs and of course amazing scenery!!
Next time I am going back to Southern Africa for safari i will definitely go with Wild Planet Safaris again. The staff has very good knowledge about every animal and the surroundings where we were and was very friendly and helpfull. You feel that these people live to be in the wild.
The food everynight was always very good and tasty.. We had elephant sausage and other good tasting steaks from animals we could see in the parks..

A trip to remember
Thank you for a trip I will never forget. I have never seen so many exotic animals in my life. It was a truely amazing experience. We had lots og space in the van we where travelling in to move around and get the pictures we wanted and our guide's had an impressingly amount of knowledge about the wildlife surrounding us. The camping was also a good experience. The tent where more than big enough and easy to set up and take down. Visiting the South African wildlife is defenitely something I will recommend.

Awesome safari trip!
This is one of the best trips we ever had, and big thanks to Thale and Ryan (wild planet safari) for showing us South Africa!
South Africa is a beautiful country, and we got to see alot! In the national parks we saw the big five many times! Even saw hippos fighting, that was so cool! The service was always good, and these two guids knows everything! If you have a question i bet you $100 they will give you the correct answer! And Ryan(eagleeyes) will spot all the animal, although the animal is hidden far away! This whole trip was an amazing experience, and it's not the last time we're going with Wild Planet Safari on a trip! Thanks guys! :)

Kalahari Adventure.
A special custom adventure (it was so, so much more than a safari!) for my wife and I. Part accompanied self-drive in 4X4 Hiluxes and partly in Wild Planet's customised VW Truck.
Apart from the usual first class Wild Planet food, service and Wildlife spotting we had some major desert adventures, the highlight was Ryan Organising the 4X4 trail in the Kalagadi for the morning of my wife's Birthday, she loved driving those dunes - then to cap it we saw lots of Meerkats (very close!) - her favourites.
Personally I loved watching the lions hunting in Pilanesburg and found the desert scenery absolutely breath taking.
We saw so many different species and had such a wonderful time that we have made our minds up to travel with Wild Planet again and again. (This is the third trip we have done with Ryan and they just keep getting better.)
If you want a tailor made Safari with the most knowledgeable guides I have met go no further than Ryan and Thale of Wild Planet.

Great Safari experience at Kruger
Dear Safari friends
The tour with Thale & Ryan from Wild Planet Safari was awesome. They made us feel welcome and home from the first minute. They just cared for everything pick-ups, transfers, food and of the best camping spaces available. The tents provided were big enough to stand upright and very spacious. Their knowledge about the animals, birds, trees and plants were overwhelming. I never expected to see so many lions and rhinos - and Ryan even spotted cheetas for us - even though they were far far away. We saw lots of things we would never have seen while driving by ourselves. Being able to look at lions while they were feeding themselves with a buffola was a great experience.. especially seeing how people may react seeing something sensational like that.. Thale is an excellent chef and she spoiled us with delicious meals. And as they were baking own bread with a bread maker carried around in the van.. we did not even miss delicious bread! We enjoyed the trip very much - going home was very hard! But as we missed wild dogs and leopards ... there is always a reason to come back ;-) .. - I will for sure be back sometime to share another tour with you! Thank you very much Thale & Ryan.

Great times with Wild planet safari
It was very good!! The guys who had the safari really cared about what we wanted to do and listened to us.
They showed us a lot of cool stuff and we saw a lot of animals! they also knew very much about the animals and also
a lot of the trees and other stuff in the nature. Loved the food we had every night and had some cool nights beside the bonfire.
Really recommend this company!!!

Kruger Park Tour
A personal tour for my wife and I. The aim was a hard-core photo safari and Wild Planet provided exactly what we wanted with plenty of pleasant surprises on top. Thanks to it being a personal tour we were able to see more species, get closer and take better photos than we have in any previous trips. Both the food and service was excellent throughout but the highlight was probably the night we spent at Shipandane Hide, where we had Hippos fighting in the river, Lions close by and a night time visit from a Gennet - it was pure magic.
We traveled in a customised VW Transporter Van so we had plenty of room to spread out and to take photos. The tents were surprisingly large (I could stand up in ours) which made camping easy. Because there was only the 2 of us we were able to take full advantage of our guide's encyclopaedic knowledge of Southern African wildlife so when we took a Park Service night drive it felt really "dumbed-down" compared to the wildlife masterclass we were used to. Overall we got exactly what we wanted and a whole load more for a very reasonable price.
We have already made a provisional booking for next year as after 10 years of visitig Africa no other trip we have taken even remoteley compares.

Wonderful days in South Africa!
It's a week now since I came back from South Africa, but most of the day I still think about the wonderful time there. 17 days of adventure, from we arrived in Johannesburg and were met by our guides Thale and Ryan and taken to our B & B to rest some hours before starting the tour through this beautiful country. 3 days in Kruger with exciting game-drives. Then we went on to Hluhluwe National Park(so beautiful! My favorite!) Next stop was Uhmlanga outside Durban. I still hear the roaring waves, sitting in a restaurant near the beach in the dark evening. We went on to Addo Elephant Park. Majestic male lions is a marvellous memory from there. Then Tsitsikamma - even the name sounds like an adventure. Suspension Bridge over roaring waves. An exciting place to stay. Knysna is a very beautiful town at the coast. We stayed there for 2 unforgettable days.On our way to Cape Town we also passed the most southern point of the African continent - Cape Agulhas. And then Cape Town - the last stop before going home. We stayed there for 2 days, using one of them to visit Robben Island to see "the home" for 18 years of their great leader Mandela. And we will never forget Table Mountain and the view around from the top. But nothing lasts for ever - we had to go home. I left Africa with my heart and head filled with love and respect for this country's fantastic animals and nature. During the whole stay I felt so safe in every way and everywhere, due to the long experience of our guides. I am so grateful for all the good service given by Wild Planet Safari. Thank you Thale and Ryan for showing me South Africa, with all that love and knowledge I can feel that you have for your country. I will be back to see more of it. With Wild Planet Safari.
