Guest Feedback & Independent Reviews

Hi Madi!

The safari from start to finish was amazing! Simon was the perfect host and made the whole experience for us. His enthusiasm and drive was infectious and keeps the excitement factor the whole time!

The transfers, camps, food, value for money, everything, was spot on.

We will most definitely be recommending wild wings to people and would definitely use you guys again.

We can't thank you enough!

Overall, I have to say the experience was absolutely fantastic and well worth it, so thank you!

I stayed at both Greenfire Lodge as well as Mohlabetsi Game Lodge.

The people at Greenfire Lodge were absolutely incredible. Adrian and Kim welcomed everyone like family and gave us a really warm, welcoming and family-like experience. Isaac, our guide, is quite simply a legend and a wonderful person. I loved his stories and his jokes and his insights into wildlife and the bush. It was worth going to the lodge for his stories and personality alone. They do seem to be in a bit of a rebuild (transitioning from the older tent-style lodges to the new construction), and I would say the new style will be a much more modern experience.

I have nothing but the best things to say about Mohlabetsi. The only unfortunate part was when I had to leave after one night, would have loved to stay a week or longer. Was pleasantly surprised to know they had spa and massage facilities for reasonable prices, if I had more time I definitely would have taken advantage of those. The rooms were just incredible, with A/C, outdoor shower, everything one could want. The location is great too, next to a watering hole. I have to point out especially the food at Mohlabetsi, it was beyond spectacular and the best food I've had in a while, their chefs are doing everything right. Also appreciated Karl preparing braai for us on the open fire one night, that was also fantastic. Our driver Solly and tracker did a great job as well, we are able to see 4 of the Big Five on a single game drive! I will be recommending Mohlabetsi to everyone I meet, it was that good.

I also stayed at Peermont Metcourt near JNB. I would say the rooms are ok if a bit small, but it was great to have the casino complex and all the restaurants nearby. I felt too tired to explore Johannesburg on my arrival there, so it was a nice surprise to have the casino complex to pass the time and get some nice food.

The transfers were all very good, no issues there.

Overall a great trip. One thing that I could have done was to get a bit more information about the different lodges and hotels I was staying in, for instance it was a nice surprise to find the casino at the Metcourt as well as the spa services offered at Mohlabetsi. I was a little rushed in the planning of this trip, but now I know what to look for for next time!

Thanks again for your help Madi, it is very much appreciated.

Hi Madi,

Thanks for following up. We had a fantastic time and Frank was phenomenal the whole trip. I can't imagine a better guide. He tailored the drives to what we were most interested in and stayed out with us the whole day on Day 2 so we could see more. Could not have been more happy with the experience!

We have a ton of really great photos from a brand new high end camera and telescoping lens. I'm happy to share the whole folder if you would like? Below are links to download a video Frank wanted and a few of my favorite pictures.

Please pass them along to Frank and our regards to him! Hope he had a good trip to George!

Our 5 day Kruger safari was AMAZING! Thank you to Gavin for booking and organising the safari and a huge thank you to Simon who was an absolutely fantastic guide! This safari far exceeded our expectations (which were set high). Simon showed us many areas of the park which allowed us to view every animal we could think of. He was so knowledgable and was able to show us some amazing sightings! His hospitality was equally as good! The food was great as was his company. We would definitely recommend Wild Wings, this tour, and Simon to anyone! We hope to be able to return to Kruger again in the future, and when we do, we will book with Wild Wings!

Dear Clare,

We cannot believe that our holiday is over and that we are back in Cape Town.

I thank you for the professional manner in with you handled our booking and for the prompt responses to the questions I had asked of you. This has to be the best experience I have had making any bookings in the past. You are a true asset to Wild Wings and they can be pleased that they have you as a consultant on their team.

Our safari was an absolute blast. We will be talking about our wonderful experience for many years to come. Simon was the best guide we could have wished for. His knowledge on the wild life was excellent, he did not just focus on the animals, he also spent time explaining all the bird species and small creatures we came across . This was so appreciated. His cooking skills were fantastic and we could not find anything that did not meet our requirements. There was always more than enough prepared for our meals. He made sure that we did not want for anything, he took great care of us. The safari programme lived up to all our expectations. If we had to rate Simon out of 10 we would give him a 10++.

We will certainly recommend Wild Wings to all our friends should they want to experience what we experienced.

We wish you and Simon everything of the best for the future.

Clare, it was truly the vacation of a lifetime. Thank you so much for all your help. Deborah and I were saying how great it was to have a responsive person like you aiding our trip. We've already been recommending it to our friends.

Clare,

It was fantastic! The game viewing was really amazing: I saw a pack of wild dogs hunt and kill an impala; we saw a family of leopards with a fresh kill in a tree; and of course, lions, buffalo, elephants, etc. And the food and wine at Inyati were fantastic, on par with a high end restaurant and better than any other game lodge that I’ve been to. I also had the good fortune of being there at the same time as one of the (passive) owners. And Federal Air was a great option for getting there: smooth logistics, comfortable lounges and short drives.

Thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip. I am turning over the March trip to a colleague beginning next year but I do hope to visit South Africa soon for other business. I will be in touch if/when I do.

Best wishes, Olav

Dear Clare,

Our honeymoon was amazing! Best trip we’ve ever had. You had made arrangements flawlessly and we didn’t have any trouble at all. Everything went smoothly and your choice of accommodation was excellent. I’m really glad I didn’t amend our itinerary because what you planned was prefect. I look forward to going on another trip planned by you. I have recommended you to everyone I’ve spoken to and you will hopefully be contacted by more people from Pakistan in the future. Thank you so much for planning the most memorable trip of our lives.

We had a wonderful time from start to finish of our 5-day safari holiday. Our guide and driver Simon was great - extremely knowledgeable, hard-working and very funny. He cooked up good food, too! We saw far more wildlife than we ever expected, including four Leopards, a group of African Wild Dogs and some fascinating Elephant behaviour. Simon even went out of his way to show us dragonflies when he learnt I was interested in them. Our kids received a great education. Would happily recommend Wild Wings to anyone looking for a memorable African safari experience.

Dear Clare,

First of all would like to thank you the organization, everything went smoothly. The transfer with Edward was very entertaining and already received a picture what we can expect in Krüger.

Frank as you promised is a fantastic and fanatic guy, he is one of the top attraction in Krüger. We are lucky and thank you for getting him as our guide. Reggarding the camp we were also lucky, we have been accomodated in the family guesthouse which is more bigger and convinient than the normal bungalows. We had a big kitchen and dining room for four rooms which is really nice for the breakfast and drink some good wine together in the evenings. We can just suggest it for the future.

Thank you for everything

Madi arranged the most extraordinary safari for us at Dulini Lodge. She handled every detail to perfection. Her choices were flawless. Our hotels, our drivers, our entire experience (including transfer of our luggage) -- everything went off without a glitch. Madi really listened to my "wants" and we had the experience we wanted -- one that exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended Madi to friends. She is a gem.

Dear Madi,

I would like to thank you for the very nice service for our tour in Kruger.

Our guide Simon was great. He was professional, enthuastic and funny. Because of him we had chance to see a lot of animals during only 4 days.

Thanks again and happy new year. And please pass our thanks to Simon since I don't have his email.
