Wild Planet Safari is a South African safari operator based in Hoedspruit, at the gateway to the world-famous Kruger National Park and the Greater Kruger region. Established in 2011, Wild Planet Safari has built a strong reputation for delivering authentic, expertly guided safari experiences that connect guests with Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, and cultures in a meaningful and responsible way. With over a decade of hands-on experience, we specialize in both day safaris and multi-day safari tours, carefully designed to suit couples, families, small groups, and first-time as well as seasoned safari travellers. Our most popular experiences include multi day Private Kruger National Park Safaris, Panorama Route tours, and combination safaris that blend iconic wildlife encounters with South Africa’s most dramatic scenery. Our Mission Our mission is simple: to create exceptional, ethical, and unforgettable safari experiences while promoting conservation, supporting local communities, and showcasing the natural beauty of South Africa in a respectful and sustainable way. We believe a great safari is about more than just seeing animals, it’s about understanding the ecosystem, appreciating the small details of the bush, and leaving with a deeper connection to nature. What We Do Wild Planet Safari offers a wide range of professionally guided safari services, including: Kruger National Park Day Safaris Full-day and half-day game drives led by experienced, passionate guides with in-depth knowledge of wildlife behaviour and the African bush. Panorama Route Day Tours Scenic tours showcasing highlights such as Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, and historic viewpoints.

Family Safaris Specially designed itineraries suitable for families with children, combining education, adventure, and comfort. Custom & Private Safaris Tailor-made experiences built around guest interests, travel schedules, and accommodation preferences. What Makes Us Unique What sets Wild Planet Safari apart is our personal approach, local expertise, and attention to detail.
