Dear Tim, thank you very much for your creating a most memorable day. I really appreciated your instant replies via email and your expertise in finding out whats most suitable for a marvelous day with ballooning and wildlife experience. We absolutely enjoyed the whole day with you, listening to your colourful and humorous stories and detailed backgroundinformation about the wildlife and Flora of Southafrica. Also underlined by completely surprising explanations, which sometimes in a funny way confused our fragmental general knowledge about wildlife in general

I joined Tim's tour only by chance based on recommendation of Mary Harrop (who offers a nice ballooning trip: http://www.balloon.co.za/) and never regretted it! There were only two customers (a lady from Singapore and myself) but he took a complete day to get us around the exciting Pilanesberg game reserve. We had a number of perfect game sights (admittedly this is also luck) but also enjoyed Tim's entertaining company and his deep insight into the country wild-life as well as politics. Very recommendable!

I traveled a lot but this trip was the best ever. Tim Smith from Wildside tours and safaris was our private guide for 7 days. The first days we stayed in Johannesburg and visited the Lions park and the Elephant park. Something I recommend doing before going to the Krugerpark. It was a big sensation to be able to touch the Lions,Cheetah,the Giraffes and the Elephants. The next day we went to the Krugerpark. We had a beautiful drive through the Long Tom Pass and Gods Window. Very exciting.While driving Tim talked very passionately about all his experiences in the Krugerpark. You just can’t wait to see it with your own eyes. Tim had arranged a private house for us on the border of the Krugerpark. A lovely house. At night we sat by the fire while Tim prepaired dinner. Zebras and Giraffes passing by while having a braai. The visits to the Krugerpark were awesome. Tim knows so much about the Wildlife that he brought us to the right places at the right time. How about 4 Lions lying on the road being satisfied after killing and eating a Buffalo. We were 2 meters away from the Lions. We had so much fun. Because of Tim we saw a lot of Wildlife and because of him we had a magical experience we can’t even describe. Tim is a very good photographer and made a lot of awesome pictures which we put on a usb stick to take home with us. We will cherish this experience forever. Thank you Tim. You are the best!!
