Exotic destination with mountains Oceans and Wild life
We started our trip from Cape Town spreading to the garden route which included wonderful Hermanus Mossel Bay Knysna Port Elizabeth and then flying out from there to Victoria Falls, back again to Johannesburg, driving out to Kruger National Park and ending our trip at Johannesburg
Every bit was exciting.
I want to highlight Kruger done through Safari Booking via Wild Planet.
A team of two people Chris and Hope met us at Hoedspruit and then rolled us to a wonderful park, putting up at Satara camp
We took multiple game drives with excellent views of the park and animals.
Hope did the cooking and packing ( very good at it and maintaining time) whilst Chris showed us around spotting the animal well in time for a photo shoot
It was an unforgettable experience!
Strongly recommended

Absolutely amazing, unbelievable experience!
Right from the beginning Thale and Ryan were always available to talk to and answer any question I had.
After we had booked our safari, I had let them know that I would be spending a night in Johannesburg by myself (my husband was meeting me 2 weeks later for our safari). Ryan graciously offered to pick me up from the airport and let me stay at his place and then take me back to the airport the next morning to catch my flight. This was absolutely above and beyond! So unbelievably generous and kind.
The actual safari itself was even better than my husband or I could have imagined. Ryan knew exactly where to take us to see the animals we wanted to see and even once we spotted them he knew the right spot to stop to get the good picture! The food was amazing, real home cooked meals on safari, which is much more than we were expecting (we expecting camping food). He even had some new meat for us to try (like ostrich and wild boar).
The whole experience was absolutely amazing and we would 110% book with Wild Planet Safari again and again!

An amazing Safari Adventure
After having been on a couple of Safari's in East Africa I had some fairly high expectations and this time I was going with people who were safari virgins and I was eager to show them the beauty of East Africa.
From the planning to the implementing Alym was knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. He was able to answer all our questions and was able to package an experience that none of us will ever forget.
We went to Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. All of which are beautiful places in themselves, however having been paired with drivers/guides who were knowledgeable and able to add so much to such an amazing experience, made it that much better. Our driver "Fabien" knew all the places to go to see the most animals and was able to maneuver quickly so we were able to see the most of everything.
During this Safari We got to see something we will forever talk about. We were fortunate enough to see the wilderbaest migration (hundreds and thousands of wilderbeast crossing to greener pastures), a pride of lions chasing a buffalo, an amazing Kill by 2 lionesses and the Serengeti super pride feeding on their kill from up close. What a way to experience everything a safari has to offer.
As far as accommodation was concerned we told Alym that as much as we wanted the safari experience we wanted it in a luxury setting, he again did not disappoint. We stayed at the Serena Lodges all the way through which was an amazing 5* experience in every way possible.
During the course of the Safari, Alym checked in often to see if he was able to assist and add to our experience in any way which made us all feel very comfortable.
I would highly recommend allowing East Africa Wild to plan your amazing Safari Adventure, you will not be disappointed. He exceeded all my very high expectations.

Even better than I thought it would be
I'm not sure why I haven't done much research about South Africa itself before my trip. I think I wanted it to be a surprise, but I was always told to be careful, it's a dangerous place etc. I'm from Rio de Janeiro so I was never to worried about this comments. People in UK only get to know some places via the news, and the news not always say good things.
What I found when we arrived in Johannesburg was the most friendly and helpful people. Yes, we tipped everyone for the smallest favour, which some people can find a bit annoying, but we went prepared, and really, when you think that this is how a lot of people make their living, and converting to GBP this was such a small amount to us, we were more than help to tip for a good service.
In Johannesburg we got Ubers from our hotel to the Aparthaid museum, a must if you are interested in history. And on another day we tried to go to the Origns Centre at Wits University, but getting there we found out it was temporarily close, so we got another Uber and went to Cradle of Humankind. In my honest opinion, it wasn't worth the 1 hour trip, being at the Cradle of Humankind its quite an amazing thing alone, but the information centre, unfortunately, wasn't that great to me. There are some information about human evolution and the fossils found there, but that's about it.
After a couple days in Johannesburg we headed to Hoedspruit. Shinzelle Safari has organised our trip and they did the best job. We were picked up in the airport on time, our drive took around 5/6 hours but our driver stopped every two hours. We were took to our lodge Khaya Ndlovu, what a place! The view was just breathtaking, the staff again, all so friendly, the room was beautiful and clean, and the food was sensational!
We went on game drivers in the reserve where our lodge were, and on Kruger. In both we saw so much wild life, and we had the best guides as well, they had so much knowledge and love for the animal which were truly inspiring. We also did a day driving around the Blyde River Canyon, and we also did a boat trip, the Canyon is definitely on the list of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
I have been telling everyone how fantastic everything was. I would 100% recommend everything we did, and would definitely go back and try things we haven't had time to experience. We did a 7 days trip and this was simply not enough to see everything this beautiful country has to offer.
