EXPERIENTIAL TRAVEL
I often travel to Africa and will make my own arrangements. This trip, my mom and sister were joining, so I asked for the expert help from Wild-Eye to plan a great itinerary that would hold interest for all of us. The itinerary they planned was exceptional. The in country(s) logistics were flawless. Everything was great....then my mom got sick and I can't even express how amazing it was to have the team at Wild-Eye (Thank you EMMA and everyone else) to help set up new logistics for us. What a weight off my and my sister's shoulders to not have to try to figure everything out with limited wi-fi and limited knowledge of the countries logistics. Emma came up with multiple options for us and we were able to tend to what was important - my mom. The support from the entire team at Wild-Eye was incredible

My first review of a Wild-Eye trip was end of 2020, I traveled during the pandemic and had an amazing trip. Since then I have traveled every year with the company and just returned from my latest photographic safari in Feb 2024 to the Masai Mara. It was fabulous! Africa makes me happy…and I choose to travel with a company that makes me happy. That is why I have chosen Wild-Eye to plan my custom trips as well as my photographic tours. I cherish being part of the Wild-Eye family and know that every time I set foot on a plane to meet up with my tour…a representative of Wild-Eye will be at the other end to “meet and greet” me and get me safely on my way!
I have lost count of the times we have booked through WildEye, both photographic & custom trips. It's quite a number; but this trip showed why they are so good. When something goes wrong.
We only had a brief trip, three nights in the northern Timbavati, three in the south. We arrived safely in Johannesburg, our luggage didn't. To be more accurate, one did make it, but there was such confusion from British Airways & their lack of customer service, it ended up in lost property. We had a domestic flight to Hoedspruit, but Emma was on the case before the wheels left the ground.
It took three days to be reunited with our bags, and only thanks to Emma & her tenacity. So, it's not just the attention to detail and skillful organization when booking the trips, it's when things don't quite go to plan that the WildEye team are invaluable.”Tracey I
This was our first safari, and we did not know what to expect. Our travel planner and organizer, Emma, was very good at understanding our wants and planned a trip that exceeded our expectations. She was very informative and made herself available to meet us and answer our questions. The itinerary had all of the information we needed, and was very accurate. We felt very comfortable knowing what to expect, as much as possible for people who had never been on a safari.”

We have been using WildEye's help and services many times before, so it's easy to trust them when planning a safari.

The Wild-Eye team does it again! From a fabulous itinerary to the perfect logistics and guidance. Another amazing trip to one of my new favorite locations! Thanks to the office team that worked with me on last minute accommodations and tight flights to Michael, guide extraordinaire! Can't wait for my next trip with Wild-Eye”

From a learning perspective, this was definitely my best trip ever! Gerry and Andrew put together presentations that led us through a journey aimed at improving and using all the tools we have and applying them to what we see in the field. I have come away with new skills and a new energy and approach to my photography. Thanks for an amazing safari!”

Being a wild eye guest means being welcomed into their "home", a place where hospitality, photography and travel meet. Their guides are totally focused on the guest experience as they educate on conservation, help with camera settings and framing of photos, and watch for any guest needs. We cannot wait to travel with wild eye again!

Another Wild-Eye trip in the books and I can’t wait to return for my next one! Thank you one and all for making each trip memorable and for making me feel like part of the Wild-Eye family!

Traveling with Wild Eye is such a pleasure. The logistics are taken care of seamlessly, the photography opportunities and guidance are excellent, and the accommodations and experiences are delightful.

This was my first experience with Wildeye. Expectations were high and the trip did not disappoint in any way. It was one of the most special travel experiences I have ever enjoyed. It combined seeing new (spectacular) places and meeting terrific people with the opportunity to learn new photographic skills and challenge myself.

My adventure into India with Wild Eye was Incredible. Every part of the journey was well organised - the transport punctual and comfortable, the accommodation spacious and adequate, staff always friendly, attentive and mindful of our needs, and the food served was delicious. The Naturalists at all the Lodges shared their knowledge and gave their everything to find the sightings. Johan and Michael, my hosts were patience and understanding - sharing their expertise of the camera

A truly magical week in the Northern Serengeti. So many special sightings, largely to ourselves - such a treat! Andrew Beck is an excellent photographic guide and overall host. Loved the small group size (only 2 other guests) - makes for personalised experience, catered to your needs. Highly recommend Wild Eye SA for wildlife lovers and budding photographers.

I am so glad I had this opportunity and am always impressed by the Wild Eye team. Not only is their operation a well-oiled machine at all times, but their creativity in developing new trips that take advantage of the diversity available in safaris is admirable. Not content with recreating safaris you could find anywhere, they strive to show their guests more of Africa and to show it to them more profoundly

My trip with Wild Eye was to South Africa - Sabi Sabi and MalaMala game reserves. They know when to go and where to go to increase your chances of having fabulous wildlife encounters. Our Wild Eye guide gave us ideas on camera settings but also encouraged us to try new things which for me was night photography and high-key imaging.

Wild Eye surely delivered on this trip. I have been on two trips with them- Brazil and South Africa. This trip was a safari but in a different climate. There are truly no words to describe the unforgettable experience I had in northern Norway. Aside from the incredible landscape and animal encounters, the knowledge of my photography experts and expedition leaders was beyond perfection. I saw so much; I learned so much. I appreciate every minute spent aboard the MS Stockholm.
Jacqui M
This trip just reaffirmed what sets Wild Eye apart from other guided expedition trip. The logistics are seamless, the destination carefully chosen and the guides highly skilled and eager to do their best to enhance your photographic skills. Couple that with lots of fun and adventure and you have a fantastic experience guaranteed.

PRIVATE GUIDED TOURS
The experience went beyond my expectations. Southern serengeti & ndutu delivered on predator-prey interactions and huge herds, which were my goal for the trip. Andrew was a superb teacher and guide. I learnt a tremendous amount on photography, wildlife and Africa in general. He also eased every coordination with local guide and staff, making my stay more comfortable and relaxing
Riccardo M
Choosing to go with a private guided safari was one of the best decisions we made. The one on one time with Michael enabled my husband to get a good grasp of basic photography skills within a couple of days so that he was shooting like a seasoned photographer which really enhanced his experience and made our trip even more enjoyable and special.
Pam M
The motto of Wild Eye is "Change the way you see the world." Well, this trip, thanks to Andrew's guidance, changed the way I see photography. I learned a great deal, but came away with a different perspective on how and what to photograph, as well as edit. A great trip, as always.

This was my first ever African safari, so I was a little nervous at the beginning but with the help of wild eye they made my nerves go away. I had blast and enjoyed my time at the Masai Mara. Seeing the diversity of wildlife found in mara was amazing and breath taking. I would recommend this trip and Wild Eye to anyone!
