of wildlife species on the African continent. Kruger Park is best known for the 'Big
Five' - Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhino.
Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34
amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals.
Dear Wild Journeys, This is to thank you for a
very gratifying experience in southern Africa. The entire journey was
more than we anticipated, and we owe that to you and the planning you
did to make our special requests possible. Our trip was intended to
satisfy our desire to see wild southern Africa and to learn as much as
possible about the customs and people of the region. We found your
efforts to make those things possible and to keep us comfortable and
well-fed supremely satisfying. Thank you so very much. And a special
thanks for making our side trip to the school near Tjakastad so very
fruitful. The highlight of the trip was Kruger Park and our Kruger
guide. The number and variety of animals we saw was beyond expectation,
and our guides efforts to inform us about animal behavior and
numbers were most gratifying. He made reference books, field
glasses, and optimal viewing sites available at every opportunity. He
never pressed to move on until he was satisfied that we were satisfied.
His efforts to make us comfortable and to use our time to best advantage
paid off fantastically.
David and Lynne, Stillwater, MN
We write to you following our
recent holiday in South Africa, to express our gratitude to Wild Journeys
and our extremely knowledgeable and informative guide for making this an
experience of a life time and one we shall not forget. As female
travelers our concerns over personal security were completely dissipated
whilst accompanied by our guide, and at no time did we feel this was
compromised during our time in Kruger Park.
Louise, Lisa & Lindsey, Bury, UK
"We wanted to thank
you and Wild Journeys for making our trip an enjoyable experience. We
didn’t have to worry about any of the transportation or reservation details
during our 16 day trip and all of the updates we received at each location
was much appreciated. We had a fantastic time in South Africa, it was a
perfect choice for a honeymoon destination. We will have no hesitation at
all in using Wild Journeys again for our next S.A trip; this time for an
extended Safari. Thanks again. "
Allen & Jenn,

"Once
again, thank you so much for our amazing safari experience in Kruger Park and
for organizing such a wonderful, stressfree vacation for us. It truly was a
tailormade vacation, just as your website boasts!!! Talk about a
personalized tour!! We are extremely happy with your level of service. You
made it very easy for us to relax and simply enjoy our vacation without
having to worry about a thing. You were clearly going over and above what
most people would expect from a tour company. "
Ross & Leslie, Cambridge, ON
"For many years my
partner and I had dreamt of visiting Africa, and in particular spending
time on a game safari within Kruger Park. When I was sent to Cape Town for
work the time seemed ideal. After weeks of searching tour operators and
companies offering the ‘trip of a lifetime’, with us not knowing
anything about any of them and if they really offered what they
promised, my partner came across Wild Journeys. This was possibly the
best web find we have come across. From day one the Wild Journeys team
made our planning easy, gave great recommendations, blended with
complete honestness and always taking into account our wishes. No
detail was left out and our never ending enquiries always handled
professionally and promptly. In the end Wild Journeys had listened to
what we wanted and blended that into an organised safari covering
Kruger Park, Sabi Sands, Cape Town and Camps Bay. They ensured every detail
was organised to the finest degree including all transfers,
accommodation, recommendations of where and when to visit and organised
the day tours in Cape Town/Camps bay. The highlight of the tour must be
Kruger Park and the Sabi Sands, where we saw the Big 5 time and time again,
plus so many other animals, including the elusive and endangered Wild
Dogs and Cheetah. Our guide and ranger at all times made sure we had
the trip of a lifetime. Our Kruger Park guide is not only an expert guide,
having a 6th sense of where to find the animals but is a
lifetime adventurer and long will we remember the nights where we sat,
drinking a beer and hearing of his adventures throughout the African
continent. His knowledge of the locations history, its flora and fauna
is second to none as well as his absolute dedication to ensuring his
guests have top class service. Upon waking our guide was there, coffee
brewing, breakfast laid out, always with a smile. In short this company
delivers above and beyond. If you are interested in taking a safari
through Kruger Park, or adventuring further into Africa there is only one
company to contact – Wild Journeys. As regular travellers we have been
around the world and have seen amazing sights however this trip blew us
away, due to the expert who showed us, therefore we are already planning
our next visit and we will most definitely be doing it through Wild
Journeys."
Jason & Alfred, London, UK
"Thanks again for providing a
memorable experience for us in Kruger Park. We thoroughly enjoyed it."
Malcolm & Betsie, Ottawa, ON
"Our journey
to Africa turned out to be the adventure of a
lifetime...it was just awesome, and beyond anything we could have imagined.
From start to finish, every detail was planned and carried out in a very
professional manner...there was not a single miscue. We had everything taken
care of start to finish. This was a well balance trip covering Cape Town,
Victoria Falls, and ending in the Kruger National Game Reserve. Boy, did we
see game. Not just a animal here and there, but herds and herds of animals.
It far exceeded our expectations. If you are planning to go to Africa, Wild
Journeys is the only way to go."
