    Incredible experience with Wild Wings and Rufus
    We did a 4 day Kruger Park tour in March 2023 and it was incredible! Clare was our agent who was very prompt at replying and the organisation was seamless. Rufus was our guide / chef - he made tasty meals and made sure we were the first out the gate each morning. Rufus has a very good eye and knows the park well as we saw EVERYTHING we hoped to: lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalo, zebras, giraffes, elephants, hyenas, wild dogs, hippos AND a honey badger! When I showed an interest in spotting birds he also made sure to look out for and point out as many as he could. You’d be very lucky to have him as your guide! Would 10/10 recommend using Wild Wings Safari.

    Professional and organised
    It's such a well organised and professional team. Communication was amazing and they provided so many details on their services. The itinerary was detailed too and we were given advice on what to prepare beforehand. Mike, especially, was very helpful when a distater occured and we didn't receive our luggage on the day we arrived at the airport. Next day we had to go on the tour so he helped to coordinate the airport office and courier delivery and managed to receive our luggage during our tour! Thanks again for this amazing experience

    Perfect Planning
    Our family of 4, 1 adult, 2 teens, 1 child did a 6 night/7 day safari in the Kalserie and Sabi Sands Reserves and it was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. From the beginning, Ilaria with Wild Wings Safari was very helpful and was always willing to answer my (many) questions. The trip was perfectly organized. Ilaria understood what we wanted and put together the most amazing itinerary. The lodges she recommended were both superb (Simbavati Waterside and Dulini Leadwood). Ilaria even gave me her private phone number so we could reach her on May 1st, which was a day off, in case we needed to. Great service. Strongly recommend.

    Excellent Wild Wings Safari
    We had an absolute blast for our South Africa trip starting from Cape Town for 5 nights, followed by Kruger Safari for 3 nights and then Johannesburg for 3 nights. Wild Wings took care of everything. There were some problems along the way but they took care of it in no time. Clare was always ready to answer questions and was there to take care of any problems we encountered. I will recommend Wild Wings Safari to anyone who wishes to visit South Africa to spend some fantastic time.

    Best safari experience with Wild Wings safari
    We had the best time of our life and this is the first holiday we felt sad that it was finishing. We got used to safari every day, waking up in the morning to go for game drives and spot animals. We covered a lot in 5 days and Simon our guide made sure that we see all the big five and we surely did. There were so many memories but the best one would be to see 21 Lions. And see some lion cubs playing and some of the lions taking a dip in the reservoir. One of the other memorable moments is capturing Leopard walking toward our safari Jeep on the first day. We have been quite lucky, I think it’s fair to say I can write 5-10 pages about experience 🤣.

    Chobe National Park planned by Wild Wings was perfect.
    We had a really good experience with Wild Wings. Michael was our tour coordinator. We contacted Wild Wings via email and the communication was prompt and detailed as we corresponded about what we were looking for. Initial communication is so important in gaining our trust and Michael did just that. We had planned other portions of our time in Africa and just wanted to fill in a few days at Chobe. Our itinerary included: pickup at our Victoria Falls hotel, assistance crossing into Botswana, hotel for 2 nights, 2 sunset river safaris and 2 morning safari drives, meals to be included and then transport back across the border and drop off at the VF airport. Everything went just as planned. Very grateful to Wild Wings for the smooth execution of our plans. As it turns out, this was our favorite thing we did in our travels. The evening safaris on the river were fabulous! Thank you Wild Wings.

    Professional service, thoughtful itinerary!
    Our trip went smoothly following an excellent itinerary, staying at three different safari camps in Northern Zimbabwe, close to the Zambezi River. We stayed at first class hotels and safari camps all the way, and never missed a connection. We enjoyed safe but adventurous safari experiences, and were treated like royalty at every camp site. We brought back memories that our family will cherish forever.

    Brilliant service and Outstanding Holiday ⭐️
    We had an absolutely incredible holiday experience with Wild Wings Safari! Our journey began with the beautiful accommodation in Victoria Falls Safari Lodge Zimbabwe, where the staff were very kind and helpful. Our room looked over the beautiful scenery and animals at the watering hole. We had a wonderful evening on the Zambezi sunset cruise seeing sunset on the river was stunning. The following day seeing the breathtaking views of Victoria Falls was certainly a life highlight. Our travels continued as we embarked on a full Safari adventure in Kruger National Park, and thanks to our outstanding guide Rufus, we were able to spot the Big 5. Rufus's knowledge and expertise truly enhanced our Safari experience. What sets Wild Wings Safari apart is their impeccable support throughout every aspect of our journey. From the careful planning and coordination before our trip to the seamless logistics during and even after, they left no stone unturned. Their dedication to ensuring our holiday was smooth and unforgettable truly shines through. We wholeheartedly recommend Wild Wings Safari to anyone seeking an unforgettable and well-supported adventure. Their commitment to excellence and personalized service make them a standout choice. We would not hesitate to choose them for our future travel plans.

    Incredible experience
    We had an absolutely incredible experience on our Wild Wings Safari. Michael was so helpful and kind when our flight was delayed and we landed in South Africa 24hrs later than expected. He was in constant contact with us and arranged a last minute transfer to ensure we got to Kruger on the same day as planned. Our safari guide (Simon) was so knowledgeable about the animals and the area, and his passion for the wildlife really helped make our trip as wonderful as it could be. His cooking is great too! He made us meals every night and hot and cold breakfast options every morning. We had an amazing time and cannot recommend Wild Wings enough.

    A perfect Zimbabwe safari
    Wild Wings did a great job organising our 10 day / 9 night Zimbabwe tour covering Hwange NP, Matusadona NP and Mana Pools NP. Our agent Clare was informative and helpful, and always at had to answer any questions and assist us. The tour itself is a great overview of Zimbabwe covering 3 different national parks. The camps were fantastic and all the logistics from charter flights and transfers were handled smoothly. Will recommend Wild Wings to anyone and will definitely get in touch with them for future trips to the region.

Our safari was organized well in advance of our trip, but the communication was excellent. They booked great hotels and safari camps for us, and there was someone to meet us at every stop on our journey. A truly memorable experience.

Wildwings was recommended to us by friends and after our experience we can only recommend the organisation. The safari was definitely the highlight of our trip to South Africa. It was super organised since from the beginning, we were picked up directly from the hotel in Johannesburg and we didn't have to worry about anything and were able to fully immerse ourselves into the game drives. Not only did we see a lot of animals, but thanks to our guide Nicky we also learnt a lot about them and the bush. As we were on a 4-day safari, we had enough time to stay at sights for longer periods of time and watch the animals in their habits and interacting with each other. Nicky made us an excellent breakfast and dinner with samplings of typical dishes. We really could not have asked for a better guide and a better organization to make this trip definitely one to remember!!

We took a 5 days Best of Kruger safari with Wild Wings Safari and it was one of the best experiences in our lives. Nicky was our guide and she was doing her best to make sure that we have a great time and see as much as possible. She is very cheerful, helpful and energetic person and has outstanding knowledge about animals and Kruger Park itself. Nicky is also an excellent cook, breakfasts and dinners that she has prepared for us were delicious, we didn’t expect that. I also appreciated help and all the tips provided by Michael. When I first contacted him he spent over an hour on the phone with me to explain everything and recommend the best options not only for safari but our trip in South Africa in general.

I definitely recommend to book a guided-tour for a safari rather than make a self-drive because it makes a huge difference in terms of overall experience. Sitting in an open car with great visibility boosts your reception of nature. Moreover it is totally worth to book a 5 days option as your chances of spotting different animals increases significantly. You also have an opportunity to visit central/northern part of the park which is even more beautiful.

Thank you Wild Wings safari for an amazing service and safari of our dreams which we will never forget!

My husband and I leveraged Wild Wings Safaris services when planning our Honeymoon in South Africa. We came upon the company through a recommendation for a friend and we are so glad we did! We really wanted to do a safari on our trip but we were overwhelmed by planning this component. We were put in contact with Mike Malan at the company who helped plan the safari of our dreams! He provided an outstanding recommendation for a lodge and even secured us a discount and extra perks for our honeymoon. He set up airport transfers and gave us clear guidance on how to prepare for the trip. Throughout the process his communication was prompt and clear. We had such an amazing time on the safari that I cried when we left! Please use Wild Wings for your planning - you won't regret it.

We did the 5 Day Kruger Park and Private Lodge Safari with Wild Wings, and it was absolutely incredible.

I’ll start with our guide, Nicky. She was simply fantastic, her knowledge of the animals was second to none and her enthusiasm was infectious. She made the whole safari seamless and had so much energy and passion for her job. If we were keen to have a quick lunch and head straight back out on a drive, she was just as keen to do so. She cared so much about us seeing animals and experiencing them in different situations.

The accommodation in Kruger itself was basic, but completely fine. We had a lovely dinner together in the campsite so we were only ever in our accommodation to sleep. Our private lodge, Kambaku River Sands, was next level – we have never stayed anywhere like it. The accommodation was spectacular and the staff were amazing. Our room looked out to the back of the lodge where elephants would cross on their way to drink from the lodge swimming pool.

Having the combination of both Kruger and the private safari lodge was just perfect. It was great to have the experience of Kruger, to see large amounts of animals, but then the private lodge to really get up close to the cats. We could have stayed a whole extra week doing the same drives, it was so special.

Thank you to the entire team at Wild Wings Safaris, it was honestly one of the best weeks of our lives. We cannot wait to get in touch in the future to book another!

Our Wild Wings guide Rufus was the greatest guide in the world. He was so entertaining and amazingly knowledgeable. He gave me a university level education on Kruger Park including birds, animals, plants and ecology. He seemed to know more than any guide I have ever encountered. I learned the names of over 40 different birds as well as the large animals that are so awe inspiring. And we always had a good time! We saw more big animals than I thought possible in our 5 day safari. Rufus was so perceptive of all our needs and arranged the safari in a way everyone could get the most out of it. A birder couldn’t do better and we saw all the big animals on every drive. If you are a gardener and interested in the plant life of Africa, Rufus can point out all the amazing plants and what they were used for by hunter gatherers. He was also very considerate, helpful and understanding of anyone who has a special concern. I was blown away by Wild Wings ability to arrange the trip of a lifetime!

It was one of the best travel experiences my husband, our friends and I have ever had. No words can describe how we felt when we had a lion and lioness just taking a nap right in front of us, elephants walking across the road and little hyaena cubs coming to check out our vehicle. I took some photos and shared them with families and friends. Our guide Simon was superb in his knowledge and very attentive to give us the best experience ever. We can't be happier!

Terrific safari with Rufus. We were fortunate to see all the animals we wanted to see except missed the cheetah but wow what amazing views and such close up encounters. How lucky were we to have such a dedicated guide, well organized, great cook, always a smile. Thanks for a really good experience.

If you are looking to go on a safari in South Africa, you would regret NOT going with Wild Wings.

The booking process was seamless, tailored to individual needs and well organised.
The information provided at the time of booking was spot on.
Constant communication from the day of enquiring up until the day we were picked up in Johannesburg.

The safari is perfect for the those on a budget and also has options to upgrade if that’s what you wish.
We did not upgrade and the hospitality and experience was second to none.

Simon the guide - where do I start…
He has previously trained other safari guides and his knowledge is clear from the moment you meet him.

I am sure after the trip it must have felt like an interrogation from me. I asked non stop questions to which all were answered and explained in depth with a good sense of humour added.

We booked the 5 day Kruger trip and could have stayed on for another week.

Simon went above and beyond with tracking and finding animals such as the cheetah and rhino. Both of which are lightly spread throughout out the park.
Although he has been guiding for 20+ years, his excitement for every sighting was clear for all to see.

Our drives were usually 5am - 9am, then breakfast then back out at 11am-6pm.
Everyone decided if they wanted to go out for that long with some opting to go for a later drive in the day when the temperatures dropped.
Simon was happy to accommodate for all.

The trip was filled with humour, insightful knowledge on the natural world and good moral throughout.

I have recommended to friends and family whilst currently planning my return trip.
Two members of our party were on their 8th Safari in Kruger with Wild wings!!!

We saw Wild dogs, Leopards, Cheetah, Elephants, Hyenas and their pups, White Rhino, Hippo’s,Buffalo, Wildebeest, Zebra and Lions (including the White male Casper!!)
This was aswell as numerous birds and antelope.

Any safari in Southern Africa will now always be booked through Wild Wings.

We booked the 5 day, 4 night combo safari trip which was a fantastic experience. From making an initial enquiry, Mike provided helpful information and answered all of my questions. The trip was well organised and the admin information was very clear and helpful. Our first two nights were spent in the Kruger National Park staying at Szukuza camp. Nicky our guide was superb. Her knowledge about the wildlife and flora in the KNP was fantastic and she went out of her way to try to locate different animals on each game drive. She even cooked for us - great breakfasts and evening meals. Our second two nights were at Arathusa private lodge in Sabi Sands which again was excellent.

Would definitely recommend Wild Wings and the combo trip is a great way for a first safari trip!
