She was absolutely Amazing!
Our safari was amazing!
Wild wings safaris did an outstanding job putting together a most memorable trip!
To start, we were met by our wild wings guide, Nicky at the airport. She was very pleasant and friendly! During our transport to Kruger park, she provided us with information about South Africa, and specifically about the area we were travelling through. She was very informative!
Once at Kruger Park, she transferred us into our open safari vehicle and started our first game drive. She was absolutely amazing! Right from the beginning we were seeing Elephants, Giraffes, Impala and Lions. She pointed out birds and small game, as well as foliage along the drive. She provided us with ample time to take photos and admire the wild life during our drive. When we returned to our bungalow in the Shukuza camp, she made sure we were settled in and got us acquainted with the camp. She cooked our dinner and enjoyed the meal with us. She was so friendly and accommodating. It was as if we were all on vacation together. Throughout the game drives, she was able to effortlessly locate just about every big game animal there was to see, along with various birds and small game animals. We can not praise enough how absolutely amazing she was and she provided us with memories of a lifetime!
Once our stay at Kruger ended we went on to the Arathusa Lodge. At Arathusa, we were greeted by Dylan who checked us in and escorted us to our chalet, and explained the resort and amenities. We were truly amazed at the luxury accommodations and the exceptional treatment we received from the entire staff. It was like we were royalty. Our chalet and patio overlooked the watering hole, where we frequently saw elephants, impala and wild dogs gathering. We were provided lunch and then started our first game drive. Our guide was Brett and both him and his tracker did an outstanding job of locating the "big five" during our time there. During our first drive, we stopped for a break, and Brett provided us with a bottle of Champagne to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. Everyone joined in and toasted with us! After the drive, at dinner, we were escorted to a private table overlooking the pool, by candle light, where we enjoyed a celebratory 5 star romantic meal again to celebrate my wife's birthday. The staff at Arathusa went out of their way to make the evening a most enjoyable and memorable event. The accommodations at Arathusa were that of a 5 star hotel! The staff was very attentive, making sure our time there was fun and relaxing. We were provided gourmet meals, luxury accomodations and exceptional service!
We would highly recommend to anyone looking to do a safari in South Africa, to let Wild Wings Safaris take care of all the planning. You did an exceptional job and provided us with memories of a lifetime!!! Doing safaris in both Kruger park and at Arathusa is definitely the way to go! If we would have concentrated all our time at one and not the other, I don't think we would have had the abundance of experiences that we had!
Thank you for everything!
We will be coming back for another safari and will most definitely choose Wild Wings for our safari tours!

Very Organized, Great experience, Budget safari - RECOMENDED
It was great, everything was much organized and Exactly as described.
Total value per money
I've paid 9400 ZAR for 4 days in early April (single) which is price competitive.
Also, moafrica is one of the only companies that offer budget safari and not sell only for couples (or double the price if you book as a single) which is great.
Lodge was ok, small and cosy, very clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy. About 10-25 min drive from Kruger (depending which gate)
Service both of moafrica and the and the lodge or the safari staff was great.
Kruger or safari, is a must when visiting SA.
The 4 day safari with the panorama route package is for my opinion the best, as you have time to relax between the activities.

Highly recommended local tour company form Victoria Falls
Very friendly and professional guides for both safari and the transfers.
We decided to do 3D2N Hwange National Park safari with them and were extremely satisfied.
Everything went smoothly from booking to game drives.
The hotel was excellent, transfers were on time, price reasonable.
The cuckoo team had an amazing spirit.
Timekeeping and punctuality were exceptional and I'd recommend travelers to be supportive of these young, energetic guides.
A highly recommended and reliable local company from Victoria Falls. Thank you Tatenda and Simon!

Tanzania's Best Safari!
Excellent experience! This safari is fantastic.
We spent 6 days with Andrew (our guide), Dullah (our cook) and Aisha (our photographer) who are really great people!
Andrew has a perfect knowledge of the different parks and gave us an unforgettable experience. He has anecdotes about all the animals/plants and thanks to him we saw all the animals we wanted.
We spent 2 nights in a lodge and 3 nights in tents in the middle of the parks. Meals were excellent and substantial.
The stay took place at the beginning of May 2023, a favorable period because fewer tourists and breathtaking landscapes!
Thank you Andrew, Dullah and Anisha, I will not soon forget this stay!

Courteous Understated Luxury
I spent one early Sunday morning courtesy of Belo Luxury Safaris touring the Nairobi National Park.
The tour car was large, spacious and comfortable with the best views coming from the retractable roof. I would recommend a vehicle with a retractable roof because game viewing from there is a totally different experience from the side, front or rear windows.
The driver was knowledgeable, intuitive and non-intrusive which led to a quiet, reflective and refreshing morning in the midst of nature.
I would recommend a tour of the Nairobi National Park, and Belo Luxury Safaris is certainly a choice if you are looking for courteous, non-intrusive, understated luxury.

Halisi's professionalism, knowledge and genuine warm personality exceeded all our expectations.
Halisi was highly recommended by an associate. We started our communication via WhatsApp. And from the first day he sprung into planning action mode. His response times were quick, he gave great suggestions and alternatives.
When we arrived, we were welcomed by his associate in Dar es Salaam then later in the trip we meet Halisi in Zanzibar. Our stay was a combination of thoughtfully planned historical, adventurous, romantic, peaceful and over all a life changing experience.
If you are seeking a high level of professionalism, attentiveness, flexibility, when needed, and overwhelming presence of peace … I highly recommend Halisi.
We've referred him to several people and their experience has been similar. We can not wait to book with him again but considering other country, in which he will be able to offer tours.

Excellent experience
I should have gone to Tanzania almost one year ago, but I got Covid right before our trip. So this year was my fist time in Tanzania, but definitely not the last one. We decited to travel with Meru Slopes Toures since my boyfriend and his parents were extremly happy with them. Just like last year, we kindly requested to have the best tour guide named Douglas and amazing cook named Moshi. During our week-long trip, we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Douglas took us to places, that looked totally unaccessible due to heavy rains, but he managed every single road. And it was totally worth it, because all together we saw 95 liones, 3 leopards and 1 cheetah in just one week (keep in mind that this was during low season when the grass is quite high & we were more exited for big cats, even though seeing other animals was exiting as well). While Douglas provided us with new information and unbelivable sightseeing, Moshi prepared delicious fresh and warm food, so our bellys were always full. I think it is important to highlight the fact that we asked for two vegetarian meals, one of which had to be done according to a special diet and Moshi managed to make something for everone. We really took the roads less traveled and that allowed us to spot some of the predetors that were in hiding, and that other groupes did not have a chance to see. Douglas and Moshi were not just kind and warmhearted people, they were unbelivably helpfull whenever we asked for anything. They helped us set up our tents and took care of each and every problem that might have occured, so we really did have the best travelles possible.
After one week, we continued our way to see Kenya as well. While saying goodbye and after they left us at the Kenya border, we all cryed. If you want to be accompanied with people that really love nature and have great passion for animals, you should definitly pick Meru Slopes Toures and ask for Douglas and Moshi. Teust us, you will not be disappointed. I really hope you will love Tanzania just as much as I did, because natures provides amazing things, if you just care enough to give it a chance.
