From pick-up to drop-off, it was a great experience and fabulous adventure!
Hi Lauren! Rufus was awesome. Picked us up and took the scenic route through Kruger NP on the way to our lodging. That kicked off our safari before we even checked in! Saw giraffes and zebras, among others. We really appreciated him going above and beyond.
Nicky was the best guide we could have asked for. My girls are getting into birding, and Nicky was great at that on our drives. Our 3 days in Kruger were amazing. The accommodations inside Kruger were very nice. Clean, comfortable, convenient. Would recommend. It was a bonus to us that Nicky cooked our breakfast and dinners. Nice touch. Was expecting to eat at onsite restaurants/cafes.
The Tomo lodge and private reserve was a nice change of pace and scenery. The Tomo lodge was awesome! And the staff were 5-star all around. Can't say enough about how fabulous a place they have there. Highly recommend.
The safari drives in the private reserves were very different from inside Kruger. It was further north, so drier and more bleak. The guides from Tomo were awesome! Having a guide and tracker was great, and we did track leopards and rhinos. The big difference was that we mostly drove the same area for 3 days. It was great that we experienced Kruger NP first. I would not recommend more than 2-3 days at the private reserve.
Overall, it was an amazing 7 days. Really appreciate your attentiveness, support, and coordination. From pick-up to drop-off, it was a great experience and fabulous adventure. I will definitely be recommending Wild Wings to all who ask and will reach out again when we are planning our next adventure.

5 Day Kruger Safari & Private Lodge Combo
Choosing between a Kruger National Park safari and a private game lodge can be tough—each offers unique advantages. This 5-day Kruger safari package gives you the best of both worlds! Spend two nights inside Kruger Park, where expert-guided game drives take you through diverse habitats teeming with wildlife. Then, transfer to a private game lodge in Greater Kruger, where off-road game drives bring you closer to the action, offering intimate encounters with the Big Five and other iconic species. This customisable Kruger safari lets you experience the best of both, with flexible options to suit your travel style.
