Great 3-day Safari Adventure in Murchison
This was an excellent safari with East Africa Jungle Safaris. Fred was really quick to respond to questions when I initially contacted him about the details of the safari and the communication was great throughout the planning stages. Also, you can easily customize your trip since it is private, so on the third day instead of chimpanzee trekking we decided to do another game drive. Fred picked us up and dropped us off in a timely manner from our hotel and was a great and safe driver. Murchison was well worth it - we saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, hippos, many kinds of antelopes, warthogs, crocodiles, monkeys, baboons, etc. Unfortunately, we did not see any lions, but Fred did try his best to help us find some. We just didn't have any luck. We stayed at the Parkside Safari Lodge, which is part of the package, and it was excellent! The lodge is right in front of the Albert Nile and the sunsets are gorgeous. Also, they were extremely attentive, the rooms are spacious and they have an amazing cook named Francis who will cater the dishes to your tastes. The only recommendation I have is that the rooms may need fans in them as it got extremely hot in the night. Overall, great trip! I'm so glad we chose this company.

Incredible safari experience
We had a very nice experience in kenya. James answers promptly any request, is open minded and gave us good offer. Our driver, maxwell, is an awsome guy, perfect guide, very experienced and loves the game drives. We saw much more than actually expected. The lodges were beautiful, lake naivasha country club had the best food, lake nakuru lodge had the best view, massai mara sopa had incredible staff

frist time on safari: it was fantastic
We saw all the big 5. The tour was perfectly organized. Our guide richard was awesome and the food was good. Only thing to complain: there was no hot shower even if they told us there is one.

Once in a life African adventure
Magic Honey moon trip down the Zambezi River, surrounded by the amazing landscape of the Zambezi valley and his extraordinarily rich wide-life. Unforgettable journey guided by Gus and his assistant Campell. Timeless days canoeing slowly passing between hippos and giants crocodile, watching groups of elephants drinking, and walking into the wild to track and to approach lions. Memorable camp on the edge, having diner under the starry sky in the light of the campfire, with the background noise of lions roaring and hyenas laughter. Thanks Gus and Campell for theses amazing days and long conversation on the campfire sharing your passion, knowledge and experience of the bush - it will fuel us with exciting memories for a long time

A dream come true delivered with expertise and efficiency!
If you are going to go on a Safari in South Africa, then you need to be with a guide who loves animals, loves his job and knows where to go. Although it is his job, I don't think he really works a day in his life, with the exception of loading luggage and cooking amazing meals! Simon is the epitome of the perfect Safari guide. His vast knowledge and passion for Kruger Park are exceptional. There was not one question I asked during our 5 days with him that he could not answer. And while we all know that the ultimate goal is to see The Big Five, there is so much more to see and learn about. Simon did that for us. I came home with a video of a dung beetle rolling his fresh dung ball across the road. I watched as a group of grasshoppers crossed the road in front of us in a large cluster and then understood why as Simon explained this to us. Yes, it is exhausting, yes you are up early every day, and get to bed late. But you are on safari in Africa and if you want to see everything you possibly can and learn more than you ever dreamed, then this is the company to work with. Our family has the luxury of using pass benefits to fly. As a result, this trip was booked very last minute. We had been watching the flights to and from Johannesburg and were quite confident we could get there and back with no issues. On January 25th, we booked our 5 day Safari with Wild Wings. And on February 1st we departed for Atlanta due to a huge blizzard in Minneapolis. Our 15+ hour flight from Atlanta to Johannesbury left on Wednesday evening and we arrived at 5:30 pm on Thursday where Gilbert from AfricaSky House greeted us. Everything was perfect. Our room, our dinner and breakfast and then, Simon showed up at precisely 8am to drive the 6.5 hours to Kruger. He was professional, friendly and very, very efficient. Simon has been a Safari Guide for 14 years and 11 of them have been spent with Wild Wings. I don't think we could have been blessed with a better experience. Granted, some of the days were very long, but we saw so much, I really didn't care. Simon taught us so much and his passion and love for Kruger is incredibly obvious. We saw everything we dreamed of in just the first day, including a cheetah kill, lions, elephants, giraffes, hyena, cape buffalo, wildebeest and too many to name. We did a bush walk that was off the charts as we encountered a pride of lions with a fresh kill, we did a night drive and saw 3 male lions eating a hippo. All told we saw at least 47 lions during our trip. When we arrived at Satara, we were treated to a 3 night stay in the Frankl Guest house complete with 5 bedrooms and our own private watering hole. The pictures we took are phenomenal. Simon should be on NatGeo. He is that good. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Wild Wings. This really was a dream come true. I miss Kruger every single day and I will forever be thankful for the incredible journey we experienced with you.

Tanzania Safari
Alym from EAWA was very responsive and flexible when booking our trip to Tanzania. His recommendations were very good, and everything was well organized while on the trip. The various guides and drivers were friendly and made travelling effortless. It was easy to get in touch with Alym at any time. I would highly recommend booking through EAWA to anyone!

Chobe camping safari
Lelobu safaris arranged all our transfers to and from Livingstone. The Chobe boat cruise was a great way of experiencing the game. Our accommodation, guide and vehicle was all at a high standard for a budget type of trip.

Best Part of our South Africa Visit!!!
We could not have been happier with our safari experience! We chose to do tent camping. The sleeping arrangements were very comfortable. Waking to the different bird sounds was wonderful. Chris is quite a chef and all our our meals were delicious! We even made it a challenge for him and specified 'gluten free diets'.
I don't think our experience in the park and surroundings could have been any better. We had a view that no one else could have. It was nice to be able to interact and move around inside 'Truck Norris' with all the creature comforts. Chris and his daughter, Ginny, were so knowledgeable about all in the park. There wasn't one bug, bird or animal they didn't have a wealth of information on. With their expertise, we were able to see the "Big Five" and so much more. They knew just where to go and what to do and were some of the nicest people I've met.
I have to say, our safari was a great value! If we were to have gone on our own, I don't believe we would have spent any less money. I would arrange to go with Chris again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone wanting a wonderful, fulfilling experience. For us it was perfection!!!
