Feedback and Comments From Our Guests

Hi Corlie

South Africa blew us away. The safari was amazing!!

Nikki (our guide) was so knowledgeable and passionate, she was super. Her ability to read animal behaviour and find clues in the bush is incredible. She can take us on safari anytime! The animals were breathtaking!

Jacques did an amazing job with the food. Delicious, well prepared and presented, best bacon ever! I was expecting lots of South African meats which was different from the food we received but absolutely no disappointment at all. No one went hungry!

We had an amazing time - thank you!

Hi Corlie, our safari was way beyond our expectations, absolutely first-rate, we couldn't have wished for better. Simon was brilliant. The things we saw at times. It was like being on the set of a National Geographic documentary! Thank you so much to you all.

Dear Madi,

We have just returned from our long vacation in South Africa with our hearts and minds full of wonderful memories. Since our Wild Wings Safari was one of the main highlights, second only to our Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration in Cape Town, we want to say a great big Thank You to you and all the other people involved in making it such a success.

A very special Thank You goes to our tour guide, Nicky, whose enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge surpassed everything we could have imagined. Spotting a leopard in a tree, stopping for a chameleon on the road, identifying birds in flight, observing a lion and lioness in their mating ritual - and explaining everything with all sorts of fascinating details: It was truly awesome.

Best wishes to all of you and hoping for another Safari with Wild Wings in the coming years!

Hi Madi

We had a fabulous time on our trip to Africa. Thanks for organising such a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Victoria Falls Safari Lodge to anyone travelling to see the Falls. The Zimbabwe people at the lodge were amazing and went out of their way to ensure we had all our needs met. Our guide was also incredible and a wealth of information including his talk at the ‘vulture culture’ show which together with the Boma dinner and drum show are a 'must-see'. The helicopter over the Falls was also a definite highlight!

The river cruise in Chobi, from Chobi Safari Lodge in Botswana is another 'must-do activity'. We saw an amazing number of animals up close and even wild dogs in our open vehicle safari.

Kruger is definitely the place to go to see animals in their natural environment and we saw plenty of the 'Big 5'. I would definitely recommend staying in a camp within the park and if I went back would want Happy, our safari guide, who had an amazing amount of love and knowledge he shared - you could tell he loved what he did, and there was not a single question he couldn't answer! 'Outdoor dining' was amazing and it was fantastic to have 'home-cooked' South African food at all our meals. The open vehicle safaris were definitely the way to go.

Overall a fantastic trip, and I would HIGHLY recommend Madi at Wild Wings Safaris to anyone travelling to this part of the world.

Hello Clare

I had a very enjoyable, exciting, and memorable experience with Wild Wings again! Frank was a great guide as usual. He told me he opted to take this safari after it was mentioned to him that I was on it. This really reached down in my heart.

The meals prepared by Johnny were superb and delicious. I really liked the way he presented South African cuisine. So many fascinating dishes! I will continue to book with Wild Wings for future trips to the Kruger area.

Thank you, Clare, for your efforts in making this another great trip!

Thank you for following up, Clare. The transfer to Greenfire was smooth and comfortable, and the driver was very knowledgeable about the local area and helped prepare me for my safari drive later in the day. Amy and John of Greenfire were wonderful hosts, and the staff including Andrew and the rest of the lodge staff made me feel very much at home.

My sleeping area was clean and comfortable and I had no trouble sleeping. My safari guide, Given, was very knowledgeable and considerate of our wishes, and we were able to see all sorts of animals and birds, and almost all of the Big 5 (except for lions, but we did see their tracks).

The transfer to OR Tambo via Ashton's was also very smooth and we arrived in plenty of time to check-in for my flight.

Thank you very much for recommending this lodge to me and arranging all the details, and answering my questions quickly. It made quite a difference to me to not have to worry about doing this all myself. I certainly would use your agency and your services again in the future when I return to South Africa.

Hi Clare

The logistics were perfect. The guides and transfers were all on time, courteous and friendly which made for a completely stress-free experience. The Wild Wings Safaris portion of our trip exceeded all of our expectations, both in terms of game viewing but also the team that provided this for us.

Our guide was Happy. Happy was brilliant, he took the time to explain so much and went into detail about all the animals, not just the Big 5. He was keen to show us as much as possible and the entire family enjoyed our time with him. We managed to see all the major animals multiple times over, often being the only vehicle present. We can't recommend Wild Wings Safaris and Happy highly enough.

The other highlight was John and his cooking. We were a little unsure about what to expect with the "home-cooked" meals but it was like having our own personal chef! John's passion for his cooking really shone through. The food was really good and the dinners and breakfasts were a really pleasant experience spent enjoying fantastic food and chatting to Happy and John about the Kruger.

After such a stunning safari with Happy and John, Mohlesbesti had a lot to live up to. It was really interesting experiencing the difference with a private game lodge. It is a lot more structured in terms of your day and the lodge was very nice and comfortable. You do also get really close to the animals as the vehicles can go off-road.

Many thanks for preparing such a wonderful experience for us. If we have friends looking at coming over to Africa, we will most definitely recommend Wild Wings.

Hi Madi,

We want to thank you for planning the most amazing trip to South Africa for us. We absolutely fell in love with your beautiful country. It was such a pleasure to work with you - you are such a professional and I knew that we were in good hands.

Your choice of Kambaku Safari Lodge was the perfect start to our trip. We had an amazing time - from the warmth of the staff to the superb safari drives. We particularly liked that it was a small lodge and that we got to know the staff and guests. Mealtimes were full of interesting conversation and wonderful food & wine.

All the accommodations you chose for us were excellent. We loved Cape Town, and it was interesting to stay in two different areas. The Adventure tour of the Garden Route was a lot of fun. We had a great time with our guide Wendy, who was knowledgable and an excellent driver. Wendy was really flexible in adjusting departure times, etc. to suit our interests. We really had 4 fabulous days with her.

Madi, thank you so very much for organizing this trip of a lifetime. We are only sorry that South Africa is so far away, as we would be back in a heartbeat!

Mike, the safari was absolutely amazing!!! It really superseded our expectations. We saw the "Big 5" and we saw an active leopard seeking food. Our guide, Simon was the best. He went out of his way to make sure that we saw everything and that we had a memorable experience. The camp was fantastic, the meals were wonderful and the transfers ran like clockwork. We would like to thank you most wholeheartedly for the great effort you put in to communicate with us from the moment we booked to the moment we actually went. We felt very at ease with this. Once again Mike, myself and my family would like to thank you from the bottom of our heart for this wonderful experience. It will stay with us forever. Africa will have a special place in our hearts.

Hi Madi, I would like to express a big thank u for the trip. Especially Simbavati, it was just amazing! It was the best part of the trip. Game drives, food, people, all were amazing. All was perfect! Thank you for a wonderful trip. South Africa and its people will always remain in my heart, and even now by writing this email to you I remember South Africa and have tears in my eyes, part of my soul will always be with this beautiful country.

Good Morning Madi, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip that you arranged for the 6 of us. Everything went as planned and the experience was nicely varied. Animal sightings were awesome and abundant. We enjoyed facilities, personal attention and especially the off-roading with Ryno at Kambaku Safari Lodge. Having our meals prepared by John at Skukuza Lodge was special. Sam was also an excellent guide. Of course, the Falls were amazing and Chobe Marina Lodge Villas were spacious and the view of the river special. Cape Town, of course, was fantastic for views, shopping and eating. Thank you so much for your suggestions, selections and arrangements. Mahalo!

Madi --- I could not be happier with our experience!! Everything went off without a problem and the safari was far beyond expectations. We were picked up at the airport as planned and the stay at the guest house (AfricaSky) was very nice - wish we would have had more time there. Booking, etc. was so easy and all went very well. You answered all of our questions in a very quick manner. Our safari guide was exceptional. Nicky made the trip an A+. She was enthusiastic and entertaining, as well as organized and a very good cook. We saw the big five on several occasions and saw so many elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, hyenas, etc. very close to the vehicle. The accommodations in Kruger were clean and comfortable. Overall, a fantastic trip!! Thank you for helping to make this trip one of our best ever.
