Hi Madi, We could not be happier with our safari experience, it was honestly the time of our lives. We loved that we decided to spend half of our time in Kruger Park and the other half in Greater Kruger Park. Both were very different experiences and both had so much to offer. I really recommend that you offer this combination to anyone that wants to have the most well-rounded safari experience.

In Kruger we saw the Big 5 in the first 1.5 hours. Simon, our guide, was so passionate about his job and really had every intention to show us as many beautiful animals as possible. We saw leopards and cheetahs and lions fighting over a buffalo kill. It was incredible! The food he prepared for us was efficiently made and very delicious.

Off-roading in Greater Kruger Park was a whole different experience! Tracking and following paw prints was very exciting. Our driver Carl (Karl?) and tracker Lucky were amazing, informative, and very exciting. The accommodation at both camps was so beautiful! And the staff was friendly and helpful. And a huge thank you to you too for not giving up on us when the payment was so hard to get through to you. If it wasn't for your patience we would have never had this once in a lifetime experience.

Thank you so much again!

Hi, Clare, Our trip to Victoria Falls and Chobe was brilliant - far better than our expectations in fact and everything went really well. Both hotels were wonderful maybe the room at the Kingdom Hotel was a little tired but it was compensated for because the pool area, the food, and the staff were all top dollar.

Chobe blew us away it was just wonderful from start to finish and we enjoyed the game drives and river trips and again the staff in the hotel couldnt have done more for us. All in all a very special holiday we would certainly recommend your company to our family and friends.

We did experience one slight hitch in that we did not know we needed a Visa to enter Zim ...it was quickly sorted and we were able to continue our journey to the magnificent falls....what an experience thank you.

Madi, I have to say Wild Wings and our guide Simon was the best ever!! Simon should get the biggest raise ever he was amazing, I've been traveling for 7mo around the world and have done tons of different tours and he is by far the best guide I've had. I have already told multiple people to contact Wild Wings and demand Simon as a guide.

Wild Wings and Simon spoiled me for Kenya and Tanzania because they were horrible compared to you guys.

Keep up the great work, I will continue to recommend Wild Wings and Simon.Thank you again for an amazing safari.

Hi Clare, We're still in SA but to say we had a memorable experience at Madikwe is an understatement. Although we were only there for one night, and for one evening and one morning safari, we were so lucky to see what we did.

Firstly the whole Fedair treatment was first class. Staff, pilots, facilities all superb and made you feel very welcome and looked after. A number of people we had spoken to had driven into the reserve from Pretoria/Joburg and it was a long drive - they wished they had been aware of the Fedair flights.

Madikwe Hills - the lodge was fantastic. Everything we could have imagined. It all felt so very personal and private. Luxurious with every facility/requirement catered for. The staff were extremely helpful and we will be sure to provide them with excellent feedback on our return via tripadvisor etc.

The safari, drivers and spotter - wow, they went the extra mile. We were lucky to see a great many animals on our first drive except lions. The next morning our driver rallied round other drivers out in the area, eventually they went on foot tracking the lion footprints and.....they ran back to the vehicle to announce they had found two adult males for us and we managed to see them up close. The drivers answered all our questions and gave us a wealth of knowledge.

A huge thank you to you for recommending this lodge and for putting together a fantastic package for us. There is nothing we could fault and have only wonderful memories to keep.

Hi Clare, we cannot praise Wild Wings enough. The highlight of our visit to South Africa was definitely the safari.

Neil was an outstanding guide and when he found out my son was getting engaged he arranged champagne to have with the barbecue. The food he cooked was excellent and thought it was a great idea to finish the day after a day out viewing. On the second day alone we saw the big 5 and can only put this down to Neil's experience.

We will definitely recommend Wild Wings to everyone and thank you again for making our visit to South Africa such a wonderful experience.

Hello Clare, We are enjoyed the sun and relaxing in Zanzibar after our safari. It is VERY hot.

Our safari was amazing. We saw more animals than we could have possibly imagined. The accommodations were all good. We were the only people at Angani! The food at both the Mbugani camps was the best for sure. Don't know how they do it in a tent!

Our guide was terrific! Joseph, who says he was your guide on safari. He is very good and was certainly receptive to our wishes. We had fun with him. As we drove back through Arusha to the airport, Rose from Good Earth Tours met up with us.She wanted to know if everything was okay, and we assured her that we were very happy.

And Giraffe Manor was fabulous. A lifetime experience and totally worth it.I've attached a few photos for you. hanks so much for your patience as we changed our mind a few times. We were happy with all of our choices.It was a pleasure dealing with you.

Hi Madi, We enjoyed everything that you organized! We LOVED the two days at Kruger with Simon - he is amazing! ( We also enjoyed meeting Chantelle). We almost didn't want to leave there and go to Elephant Plains. And to be honest, when we first got there we thought it was very formal (which it is). But after the first day, with the ability to get so close to the wildlife, we were very happy with it.
We were very pleased with the hotels outside the park- very good.

We have nothing but good things to say! Our 5 weeks in Africa were nothing short of amazing and we thank you for a big part of it! Thank you again!

Clare, I had a fantastic time at Londolozi. I did not want to leave! All of the safari lodges have been great but I just felt that Londolozi did a little better on every dimension, from the coffee, to the room, to the food, to the guiding. Wow. I would definitely go back. I might hesitate to recommend it to anyone as a first experience though, lest it spoil them for all future travels to the region ;-)

Thank you once again for your assistance in arranging the travel. Everything, with the exception of the minor hiccup with the luggage pickup at the Joburg airport, went flawlessly.

I will definitely be in touch the next time that my travels take me to Africa.

Take care.

Let me first start by saying, Awesome, Incredible, Amazing and the list goes one!!!

My son Tom and I had the most enjoyable time ever on our safari with Wild Wings Safari!!! Starting with you taking great care of us and setting us up with all the arrangements. Flawless!!! Many thanks!!!

Now enter Neil Card, our Guide. You truly have a hard working and gifted individual working for you at Wild Wings Safari!!!

From the moment we met him at our hotel in Joburg we knew we were in great hands. We were fortunate to have him as our personal guide as we were the only ones scheduled for our 3 Day Safari. Neil made us feel special and he went out of his way to take such great care of us. From his safari guide skills to his cooking skills, I cannot say enough about Neil. He's AWESOME!!!!

Despite the 106 Fahrenheit temperatures we experienced during our 1st day at Kruger, Neil made sure we we saw as much as we could despite the severe drought the region was experiences. We did see all Big 5 thanks to Neil's determination to find the hardest to locate, the African Leopard. And on our 2nd day Neil was able to locate that leopard taking a siesta up in a tree. So very cool!!

Our accommodations at Skukuza were very comfortable and relaxing. I can still smell Neil's deliciously cooked meals from his amazing breakfast to dinners featuring grilled Kudu sausage and Ostrich fillet with all the trimmings. Just amazing to say the least!!

I cannot forget to mention Neil's pre-breakfast rest stop where were enjoyed fresh fruits, tea and cappuccino, and our new favorite, rusks!! OMG are those delicious!! I had to bring a few packages of rusks back to Boston.

I also cannot forget to mention our drive from our hotel at O.R.Tambo Airport to Skukuza and back. It was so enjoyable and comfortable!!

Neil not only drove us there and back safely but he explained in detail points of interest along the way. My son and I not only learned so much but we gained a real appreciation for South Africa and what it has to offer.

As far as things to improve on, I cannot think of anything. Please make sure Neil receives our feedback and let him know that we think of him often. He provided my son and I such a memorable experience we will never forget!

Thank you again Madi for all your help!!! I am recommending to all my friends and colleagues to book a safari with Wild Wings Safari!!!

Words are not enough to even begin to describe our experience on our safari. Simon was a wonderful guide whose outgoing personality and sly wit were a perfect match for our family. One of my daughter's described her experience with Simon as a guide as "I'd call him the world's best shoeless, bird calling, chef and resourceful tour guide". Another one of my children stated "his schedule flexibility and park knowledge allowed us to have the greatest opportunity to see as many animals as possible".

Each day we rose early and headed out for an early morning drive followed by a darn good breakfast. After a short break, we headed back out for an afternoon/evening drive. We then returned to the camp for a dinner that was truly inspiring considering that we were "in the bush". Simon never failed to patiently answer questions (even silly ones) and pointed out interesting sights. My husband and I agree that he is the hardest working guy around. We highly recommend Wild Wings.

It was perfectly organized. All information was shared in advance and the support from the team in the office was perfect. They answered all questions and offered easy & fast solution to any problem. Simon (the guide) was extremely nice with interesting stories to share and great knowledge of the wildlife. He was always on time, well organized and reliable. In addition, Simon was a great cook!! We really enjoyed our breakfast and diners ;-) Last but not least: we saw the most amazing animals!!! For a 3 days safaris during a heat wave (37°C: animals tend to hide in such circumstances), it was really a gift to be able to see that much. Some people will say it is luck, but I think is also relates to the guide. He knew his stuff ;-) Thanks you Simon and Wild Wings Safaris team! We really enjoyed ourselves!!

What a wonderful experience dealing with Wild Wings Safaris. Madi was spot on in helping us choose our safari experience. My husband and I and adult daughter spent Christmas at Simbavati Lodge in Timbavati. It was perfect in every way. We saw all the Big Five plus wild dogs, hyenas, hippos, warthogs, crocs and more. The staff was most accommodating and we loved the lodge setting . Madi also set us up with private day tours in Cape Town and Jo'berg. Everything planned worked seamlessly. Truly a very special trip. Thank you Madi!
