With Wildlife Safaris you are in good hands
4/5

My son and I did the 4 day classic Safari. From the first exchanges, through the Q&As, organisational aspects, paperwork and tour itself Wildlife Safaris were responsive, helpful and very professional. We were a group of 6. Hoppy was a great guide, very friendly and good humoured. He was worried that the food at the camp might not be good, but it was perfect. We saw all the big five, and much more: cheetah, hyenas....Standard accommodation (bungalows) was well equipped and tidy. Weather was cold in the morning and evening and pleasant during the day. Day 4 consisted mainly in a quick last safari on the way out, breakfast and travel back. Hoppy is a fast driver who should keep more distance with the vehicles in front. I am satisfied with Wildlifesafaris and happily recommend them.

We enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very professional and friendly. We met our expectations to see most of the big 5 and had great time with our kids.

Wildlife Safaris was very good value with ample opportunities to spot the wildlife while enjoying comfortable accommodation and hearty meals right inside Kruger National Park. Nick our guide was friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable.

Our trip to Kruger was wonderful - we saw everything we wanted to see and more
4/5

Our trip to Kruger was wonderful - we saw everything we wanted to see and more . Hoppy was a wonderful guide and it was great that we were able to stop not only for animals but also birds , something we may not have been able to do with a larger group . Thanks to everyone at Wildlife Safaris especially Hoppy .

Wonderful six day adventure in Kruger National Park with Wildlife Safaris
5/5

Our initial enquiries with Wildlife Safaris were made through Bruce and he was most helpful in describing the various options available to us for a Kruger adventure. We opted for the six day/five night tour which included stays at three different lodges inside or adjacent to the Park. Payments were staged over the months ahead of our trip and we felt the payment process was straightforward and secure.
When the date arrived for our tour, we were met by our brilliant guide Simon at 7am at our Johannesburg Airport hotel. Simon drove us across country to arrive into the Park in the early afternoon. Straight away our sightings of the wonderful wildlife commenced with herds of elephants, giraffes, zebra, antelopes of multiple species and many examples of exotic birds. Simon had an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the Kruger animals and birds and he had a fantastic eye for spotting the wildlife no matter how well camouflaged they were. We spent the first two nights at Sabie River Bush Lodge adjacent to the southern part of the Park followed by one night at Satara Camp in the central part of the Park. Every day featured bush drives, some starting around dawn and more kicking off at dusk with the guide using a spotlight to find and illuminate the animals in the bush.
Our final two nights were at the Mohlabetsi Private Lodge near Hoedspruit. This was where we encountered one of the highlights of the tour when the Lodge guides tracked and found two male lions which had just taken an unfortunate zebra as their prey. The scene was quickly encircled by many hyenas which settled in for their long wait for whatever scraps might remain hours later. This up-close experience of nature in the wild was truly unforgettable.
Our experience with Wildlife Safaris was truly fantastic. All of the accommodation was great, the food was plentiful and excellent, the wildlife was spectacular, the arrangements worked out exactly as promised during the booking process. And we were truly blessed to have Simon as our driver, guide and friend over the six days, he really made the trip into the wonderful experience it turned out to be.

Barnie was the best guide. Very helpful, answered all our questions in depth. He was always there to guide us and assist us in any way.
The tour was great. We were very blessed and saw all the animals we wanted to see. All the rooms were nice, we loved the Sabie river with a view of Hippos! Also the one at Skakuza was super nice! Food was also very good.
Barnie is very professional. Very informative and patient. We have a son with Austism and he was understanding and kind.
It was an experience of a life time. We all learnt so much.

Very helpful . Information provided was excellent and gave great understanding of the tour.
5/5

We didn’t know anything about South Africa before booking so we needed a lot of guidance. We were nervous about safety aspects etc. Bruce was our first contact and he was extremely helpful in answering questions thus giving us confidence to book with the company. Every aspect of the tour ran to plan with pick up and drop being perfect.

The Safari was a good mix of experiences and was good value for money being a mix of great to good accommodation. The driver Anthony hoppy Howell was fantastic taking real care of us from start to finish.

There was confusion regarding Airports for drop offf in Kruger and this was sorted easily by the Bookings team. Overall is was a fantastic holiday , well organised with excellent detail and follow up.

Unforgettable Safari
5/5

We had a wonderful experience with Wildlife Safaris. Communication was excellent from the beginning, and the team was always helpful, reliable, and professional. Everything was well organized and offered great value for money. Our guide, Brian, made the trip even more special with his knowledge, friendliness, and enthusiasm. He went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable safari experience. We highly recommend Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable African adventure.

Incredible experience with Wildlife Safaris
5/5

Wildlife Safaris pairs decades of industry expertise with a deeply personal touch. They made the planning process seamless, crafting a flexible itinerary that respected our budget and securing lodges that catered perfectly to our dietary preferences.
What truly elevated our journey, however, was our guide, Hoppy. His profound understanding of the local wildlife and ecosystem, blended with a great sense of humor, transformed our safari into an engaging, joyful, and deeply memorable experience.
