Wildlife Dreams -

Claire Castelli

I was very lucky to be able to go to South Africa with Phil in 2018. It really was a trip of a lifetime, that I plan to do again!

Phil made the whole experience really stress free from booking and the transfers in South Africa to sorting the accommodation which was perfect.

Phil’s local knowledge and patience enabled us to get the photos we dreamed of. We saw the big five in the first day in Kruger. But really everything else was so stunningly beautiful and Phil knew it all! There’s so many different types of animals and birds it’s hard to say what is best. However you can’t beat eating a traditional South African meal on the banks of the river while a herd of elephant are playing in the water at sunset.

There were only two other guests so we were really spoiled in being able to get guidance and support from Phil and each other. When you see the other keep safaris wizzing past on a timetable with people crammed in you know you’re being spoiled. We would be first into the park and last out most days so you get chance to do the sunrise and sunset photos too.

If you are thinking of taking a trip to South Africa, book with Wildlife Dreams!!!

We have recently returned from a 2 week safari experience with Wildlife Dreams and would not improve a single thing about our experience.
Phil and Elaine are two of the most helpful, friendly and welcoming people you can meet. It's clear to see how much passion and knowledge they have put into their business and how much they want everyone to have the holiday of their dreams.
We split our time between two locations, going on game drives in Kruger National Park, hearing educational talks from conservation groups and spending a week at the most incredible Antares Bush Camp. Everything was taken care of for us, from food to daily planning, and if we wanted to do anything extra or change our plans it was no issue. The flexibility of the holiday made it feel like we were truly taken care of and got to make the holiday ours.
The food was made to a very high standard, with us asking to take some recipes home from Tatenda Guest House as they were so delicious we wanted to create them at home for friends and family, the accommodation in both locations was absolute luxury and we always had the most knowledgeable guides on all of our game drives.
We had some incredible experiences, be it getting splashed by Elephants when we were sat in the hide at Antares, getting stuck in a Lion traffic jam or visiting local markets.
Phil is also a very talented photographer and helped multiple members in our group to get some really good shots and offered lots of helpful advice!
No one day was the same and when it came to our last day not a single person in our group wanted to go!
We will DEFINITELY be booking another holiday through wildlife dreams in the future, thankyou both again for the most perfect trip 🙂

Wildlife Dreams really did make my dream holiday come true. I have always wanted to go to Africa for such a long time but was worried about going alone. Phil was extremely patient and understanding about any concerns I had which put me at ease.
We travelled all around Kruger national park and Phil had so much knowledge about where the best places to go to see amazing wildlife to get some wonderful photographs. There wasn't a day that we didn't have an amazing experience.
I'm just so excited about our next adventure.
