Wild Planet Safari offered an outstanding experience featuring abundant Wildlife in Krueger
Our four day Safari with Wild Planet Safari at the end of the dry season in Krueger Park surpassed all my expectations. The park and campsites themselves are appropriately developed to offer a comfortable and accessible environment for visitors. If this is to be your first, or only African Safari, I highly recommend Krueger and Wild Planet Safari.
Our Wild Planet Safari with our Guide Ryan and his assistant in a private enclosed vehicle was the perfect choice. We had personalized service and wonderful meals. The information Ryan shared about the animals we saw was extensive. Additionally, Ryan was able to speak knowledgeably about Conservation not only in Krueger but in other parks in southern Africa, South African politics, and culture providing us with a much richer experience than we would have had touring on our own.
The dry conditions meant foliage was sparse which helped in spotting and viewing wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, the abundance and variety of birds and animals we saw continues to amaze me and the pictures I share with family and friends get rave reviews. Ryan's knowledge of the park itself meant he maximized every minute outside the campsite gate and visits to all the best animal viewing spots.
If you go, Go with Wild Planet Safari. Get your self an Animal guide Book because it is the ONLY way you will be able to keep track of every animal you see. Take the Morning Ranger led Bush Walk to spend time on the ground walking the trails used by the animals. You may not see ALL the animals you traveled to see but you will see far more animals/birds than you ever imagined you would.

Phenomenal experience
We began our South African adventure in Capetown. We met friendly, warm and welcoming people, experienced great hospitality, all while being surrounded by natural beauty and stunning scenery. Driving the route to Cape of Good Hope offered great hikes with magnificent views of mountains and oceans along with some wildlife viewing. Next was the wine route with it's lovely vineyards, where hospitality was un-paralleled.
Our safari experience at Thornybush Monwana allowed us to see the Big 5 up close and personal many times over along with an untold number of other species. The knowledgeable guide provided amazing insight into the life and habits of these incredible creatures while the Chef provided meals that were second to none in a setting that allowed us to be fully immersed in nature with animals mere feet away from our deck.
Victoria Falls is one of the "seven wonders of the World". Having been to Niagara Falls many times, I can attest that Victoria Falls is in a class by itself and the Falls and Rainforest are a sight to see.
Al in all, a Phenomenal trip to a beautiful area with friendly people and diverse natural and animal world that we will remember fondly for years.

The team at Elephant Herd Safari were the Best, Trevor, Martin and Brandon made the experience
South Africa is such an amazing Country. We spent time in East London Town, Cape Town, Johannesburg and the safari in Kruger National Park. The weather was perfect , the food was amazing and the animals were awesome. The US dollar went so far it was great. I would recommend everyone to go and experience the people, culture and animals
Great game preserve with a variety of animals
There was a variety of wildlife. The game drive operators seemed knowledgeable at what they were talking about and we had a great time

Fantastic safari experience. Skip the cities.
The lodges were fantastic. Especially leopard mountain. Rhino sands and phinda Zuka. Wish we hadn’t wasted our time at the st Lucia lodge. If going back I would just do two lodges. Minimum 3 nights each. I’d choose leopard mountain and rhino sands over phinda.
Our travel agent did an amazing job. Justin at [email protected] picked us up and transported between Durban and lodges. Provided binoculars. Snacks on the trips. It was all last minute booking for us and his advice and recommendations were fantastic.
We then flew to cape town and drove the wine regions. Which are beautiful. Should not have wasted a night in cape town. Stay in stallenbosch instead. Helicopter tour a must over table mountain. Drive/Walk to cape point a must. Will go back but stay away from the cities.
Amazing
We stayed for 3 nights in skukuza and took many morning ,sunset and night drives as well as an afternoon walk. We saw the big 5 and many more animals and birds , it was really incredible. Most drives we went on were from the skukuza camp. Some guides were great ,some less so , it is often also hard to hear the guide at the back of the jeep. I recommend sitting closer to the driver /guide and if possible going for at least one drive in a smaller vehicle with a more private tour. Besides for one chilly morning the weather was beautiful and very warm. During the morning drives around sunrise it's pretty cold so be prepared. We went in the end October so the bush was pretty dry and allowed us to see animals through the trees into the distance. Overall it was an amazing experience and highly recommended!

Amazing Safari-experience with Wild Wings Safari!
I booked a 4-day Safari for 9 people in Kruger National Park with Wild Wings Safari. So I was quite cautious in picking a tour operator so that everybody would make great memories. Overall the experience has been amazing and worth every penny.
The communication with Wild Wings Safari was very professional. Any questions we had were answered very quickly and diligently.
The transfer to Kruger and back was perfectly organized, the driver who picked us up from the hotel was nice, on time, and professional.
The Safari itself was amazing, we had a really great tour guide Sam, who was guiding us through Kruger so that we could see all the big 5 and many more animals. He was a man with great competence and very sensitive to our wishes. He knew the park inside out, which is important if you want to see as many animals as possible.
Finally, our cook Jacques did an amazing job providing us with breakfast and dinner, each of the meals were tasty and original from South Africa.
All in all, highly recommended, did not encounter one issue with Wild Wings. Safe bet to make your Safari a success!
