In planning my first trip to Africa, I researched online and found that Wild Wings Safaris had exceptional reviews from travellers on Trip Advisor. I was very pleased to connect easily via email with Clare and she helped me to create the perfect safari for my husband and I. It was my dream to see as many big wild cats as possible in private game reserves that were dedicated to sustaining the life and land of all animal inhabitants. Clare listened to my desires and directed us to the &Beyond reserves at Phinda Forest Lodge and Ngala Tented Lodge. Our experience of each of these reserves was exceptional. Our many big cat sightings took my breath away and fulfilled my dreams. We saw all 'Big Five' animals many times in our 6 days of safari experiences. All details of transfers from airports to lodges and so forth were seamless, all trackers, guides, hosts, chefs, butlers, etc were knowledgable, friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. The lodges were luxurious, comfortable and ecologically sound. The food was unbelievably good. We felt so well cared for and had the most enchanting experience. We fell in love with South Africa and our dreams are full of the many remarkable and beautiful animals that we had the pleasure of encountering on this adventure. We plan to come again to Africa and will return to the helpful guidance of Wild Wings Safaris. Thank you, Clare!
We had an amazing safari with Simon, the Ferrari of safari guides ! The entire process of working with Wild Wings Safari has been top notch. The attention to detail and the well documented FAQ were just some of the little things that made you comfortable that the long awaited safari trip was going to be perfect. We worked with Madi to organize the trip and she was great to work with – even when I kept asking ‘just one more question’. She was always kind and patient. She had information on everything we asked and had it all organized that we knew we had not a worry in sight. She helped me put together a schedule that completely fit my criteria and had recommendations that were truly helpful. Wild Wings Safari definitely provided 5 star service. We did a combination of National Park, Private reserve and River safari’s and all were exceptional.
The Kruger National Park safari was amazing. Simon was exactly what you want in a tour guide; a fantastic eye to spot those animals trying to hide, a great sense of humor, loads of information if you wanted more background on an animal or area and a great cook on top of that ! We didn’t notice when we booked the tour that Simon was also cooking the meals – and you will be surprised at how good they are. We were told by another guest when we first started our safari how great Simon was but we didn’t have anything to compare to at that point. After finishing a 3 week trip with multiple different guides we now know she was spot on – Simon was truly the best blend of what you don’t even know you are looking for. We knew that there is no guarantee of what you will get to see and we were thrilled that we got to see the Big 5 as well as many with their young. Book with Wild Wings, you will not be disappointed !
Private Reserve (Elephant Plains). If possible, do try and book a private reserve experience as it is totally different in that they are allowed to go off road and you will get to be closer to the animals. We just wish Simon had been our ranger again. Wild Wings handled all the bookings and everything in that manner was perfect. The private lodge provides their own rangers and unfortunately we were assigned to one that did not yet excel at his position. We know without a doubt that if Wild Wings had been providing the rangers they would have all been excellent.
We had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend using Wild Wings Safari – they were fantastic!

I and my family could not have been happier with the arrangements made by Wild Wings. This was a bucket list trip with the entire family. We spent 3 weeks of the most enjoyable travel for us who are widely traveled throughout the world over many years. The lodges selected for us and the transfer services were perfect. Guides were superb; the drivers for transfer between lodges were guides themselves making the road trips almost mini safaris. A last-minute change in lodge accommodation due to a devastating fire in Knysna only a couple of weeks before we were to depart prevented us encountering anything that could be a reason for any complaints. I would recommend Wild Wings with complete confidence to anyone.

I were extremely satisfied with the service provided by Wild Wings. Simon was the perfect guide! He had this sharpened and fascinated look by the beauties of Kruger, always sharing with us information about animals and wildlife. Jock was great too. The meals prepared by him were always very tasty and well presented.
