Feedback and Comments From Our Guests

We are currently waiting in the Frankfurt airport for our final flights back to Canada, and are sad to have left beautiful South Africa. The trip was truly a dream come true.

Thank you so much for your time and expertise in planning our trip. Your advice and help was invaluable. I have to tell you, our entire trip was AMAZING. Everything went so smoothly. All of the service we experienced was absolutely fantastic, everything exceeded our expectations.

All of our accommodations were great, the food and the service outstanding. We would go back to any and all of them!

We thoroughly enjoyed Shindzela and wished we had there stayed longer! Their guides and trackers were fantastic, as was the food and tented accommodations. We had great game drives there, with lots of sightings. I would highly recommend the camp to anyone who wants a true down-to-earth, but comfortable bush experience. We are already talking about going back some day!

Of course I must mention our time in Kruger with Simon, what a character! We had such fun with him, and were so impressed with his knowledge of all things wild. We saw so much wildlife, and it was so great how we were able to learn so much about birds and everything else. He must be one of the best guides in the park! The food was also great - he was so well prepared and we enjoyed all of it. A huge huge thanks to shoeless Simon! We really got a kick out of him.

Notten's was also wonderful, the food was just outstanding, they just keep it coming. We had some exceptional wildlife viewing there, including a pair of mating leopards up close on our final game drive!!

All of the transfer drivers were great - on time, and super knowledgeable.

We absolutely loved our time with Shawn in Cape Town as well. He is a fantastic host and guide, and really made the most of our time in the area. He was really laid back but also gave us great options for each day, and advice, based on the weather etc. He even made special surprise arrangements for us to tour a old fire station in Cape Town as a surprise for my sister (she is a firefighter at home) - just based on listening to us! Again, I would recommend him to anyone, he's a genuinely lovely guy.

Thanks again to both you and Simon for a wonderful experience. Also please pass this note onto Simon. Thanks!!! I will be calling you for my next trip to Africa - which hope isn't too long from now!!

Cheers,

Amy, Laura & Mike

Hi Gavin!

We could not have been more pleased with both the safari and our stay at Marben Manor! Thank you so much for your help in making the arrangements for us! Our Spur Wing tours were also excellent.

You kept emphasizing that Marben Manor was a budget accommodation, but other than the location, which is still quite acceptable, we found ourselves in a little bit of paradise. The rooms were lovely, with a delightful attention to small details, like fresh flowers and lavender on the towels. The food was superb and plentiful. Best of all, Willem and Yvonne and their son Eben were consummate hosts, very accommodating and informative. We were all very sad to leave our new-found friends.

John Wilhelm was the person in our group who REALLY wanted to go on a safari in Kruger. I was less eager, but thought it might be an interesting new, "I'll do it once, but not twice" experience. I am so glad I went!! Neil was a superb guide and a great cook as well! I have completely changed my mind about the type of safari experience we had and would gladly do it again. Neil's knowledge and obvious love of the animals was such an inspiration. I have fallen in love with Planet Earth in a new way!

Thanks again for making our stay in South Africa so memorable!

Dear Madi,

thank you for the perfect organisation of the whole trip. We enjoyed the safari very much, Simon is a very good and professional guide. Many greetings to him and pls. let him know that the rhino arrived well...

Many greetings from Slovakia,

We are so happy we found Wild Wings Safaris to help us plan our (3-generation) family South Africa vacation! Madi was - is - everything you want and need in a tour consultant: professional, knowledgeable, responsive, resourceful, friendly, flexible. She asked us all the right questions and created an itinerary that included everything we had requested and so much more! It was obvious that Wild Wings Safaris had thoroughly vetted every company and every property they referred us to.

Each of our driver-guides from the various transfer/tour companies Madi hired on our behalf (Rannie from Schoeman Tours, Edward with GAP Tours, Caz with African Experience and Suviwe with Vamos Tours) were outstanding. All our lodges/hotels were superb, too - exceeding our expectations every time!

Madi truly extended herself for us. I was in a panic the very first day because some of our group had missed their connection in Europe, meaning we would all miss our scheduled flight from J’burg to Hoedsprit. I called Madi – on her day off – and she immediately dropped what she was doing, went in to the office and saved the day – rebooking us all on a later flight.

Thank you, Madi and Wild Wings Safaris! We will be recommending you to everyone we know who may be planning a trip to South Africa, Botswana and/or Zimbabwe!

Hi Clare,

We had a blast! Thanks for all your assistance with putting the trip together for us. I think Kruger NP was my favorite & wish we could have spent about a month there! Neil was a great guide & we enjoyed the other people who were in our group. Fantastic trip. I hope to go back some day & won't hesitate to contact Wild Wings if I get the chance.

Thanks again!

Hi Madi,

We have finished our journey and returned safely. Here I would like to thank you again for all your hard work which made our trip so successful and unforgettable.

We will definitely use your company again whenever we come back to Africa and will also introduce to our friends.

Again thank you so much for EVERYTHING!

Having returned home to an everyday life with no lions, no Girafs and no need to Baboon-safe your fridge, it already seems unreal that we were there just a few days ago. I wish to extend a sincere thank you to Dianne - not only for your flexibility in terms of our booking reguest - but for the service of Wild Wings Safari all together.

We had an amazing experience in every way. We were fortunate to have the company of Simon, who made sure we made the absolute most of just two days… Pleasant company, great chef - and the wild life knowledge that gave us moments that we will carry with us.

I am not sure, I can even begin to convey to you the way he elegantly moved the jeep in between all the other cars once the great Lion King began his slow, yet purposeful wandering among all the cars waiting. We had him right there next to us for the longest time…An adrenalin kick if there ever was one…

Leopards in the morning mist, Hyenas with their cups playing in sunrise, elephants, Zebras, Rhinos, Hippos… we had it all...

We can safely say, we got the best of it all - and the bonus of being just the three of us for the entire experience.

My absolute warmest recommendations for Wild Wings Safari - and for Simon to guide us through the Real Thing. His ability to spot things we would never have noticed - and the perfect pace.

It all stays with us…

Thank you,

Anne

We have just arrived home from Africa, and would like to say that our time with Simon our guide in Kruger, was the highlight of our holiday.

Simon could not have done more to show us all the animals in Kruger that was possible to see. He had a terrific attitude to everything making sure we saw as much as possible and his meals were fabulous, he is an asset to your company, it is obvious he loves his job, it reflects in everything he does.

All the accommodation you booked for us including transfers all went beautifully. Will certainly recommend your company to our friends.

The only animal which was difficult to get an excellent picture of in Kruger was the leopard and, as predicted by Simon, we managed it in Elephant Plains.

Kind Regards

The whole trip was outstanding, the safari was really great. Neil took really good care of us from pick-up to delivery back to the airport, he was most attentive, knowledgeable, and willing to share himself with us. Just impressive knowledge base, and obviously passionate about it. Loved his cooking, his attention, his time and his skills.

Absolutely will recommend him and Wild Wings (and have) to others.

Thank you for all you did for ma and us. You just made it so easy to arrange all of it, from the safari itself to all the extras you helped me with. It really was the trip of a lifetime for us, and we travel quite a bit. From the very first contact it was obvious that you were here to help us have this marvelous experience and I so appreciate it. You are such a pro at this. I appreciate your consistent availability and willingness and support.

Best wishes to you and your Wild Wings staff. I wish you the best--that's what you gave to us.

The service, the transfers, the accommodation, the meals, the guides and the game viewing were all excellent, we could not fault anything.

Both my girlfriend and I were unsure exactly what we needed to organize for the trip and neither of us had the time to really investigate it properly. Wild wings took all the hassle away from us. We now know also what to expect for the next time.

We had a great time and are so happy that we booked our safari trip through Wild wings. We will be recommending you to any friends who are looking to do a similar trip.

Thank you so much for everything.

Regards

John

We wanted to let you know that it was an absolutely amazing experience and that in particular, our guide Simon was fantastic! He got us so close to all the animals without startling them and took us all over the park so that we could actually get the full experience (what with all the dirt roads being closed due to rain). Moreover, he was just so entertaining and personable that it made our safari a truly unforgettable experience.

Thank you for organizing everything!

Jordana & Ria

Your service was perfect. There is nothing that could have made it better. Well done!

Inyati Game reserve is great. Meals, accommodation, guides, trackers and game viewing were stellar. We had the best time. Chris had picked up a bad cough after arriving in SA and was not very well for our time at Inyati. The staff there called in the local EMT staff and someone came out to our lodge to help him out (even connected him with a doctor in Joberg for a consultation). Superb service.

We would recommend Wild Wings and Inyati Game Reserve to anyone looking for a great safari experience.

Thanks again for taking such good care of us. You're the best.
