A safari planned by someone who has lived it, built around you, with no set packages and no booking fees.
See the ProcessA safari is a significant trip, and the choices are rarely obvious from a website. Which reserve, which lodge, which month, malaria or not, how many nights, and how to combine it all. Getting those decisions right is the difference between a good trip and a great one.
That is the part we handle. Jarryd spent eight years guiding in the Sabi Sands and as Head Ranger at andBeyond Phinda before starting Wild Moments, and every trip we plan draws on that first-hand knowledge rather than a brochure.
Your safari is designed by Jarryd, who guided for eight years in the Sabi Sands and ran the ranging team at andBeyond Phinda. You are not dealing with a call centre.
We have stayed at the lodges, driven the traversings and worked alongside the guides. The advice you get is based on experience, not a supplier list.
There are no set packages. Every itinerary is built around your dates, your budget and the things you most want to see and do.
Our planning costs you nothing extra. We are paid by the lodges, so you pay the same rate as booking direct, with the planning and support included.
Every enquiry is answered by Jarryd, usually within 24 hours, and the same person looks after you before, during and after your trip.
We will tell you when a reserve is not Big Five, when a season is wrong for what you want, or when something is not worth the money. Trust matters more than a sale.
Share your dates, who is travelling, a rough budget and the experiences that matter most. You do not need to have it all figured out.
We match you with the right reserves, lodges and timing, and put together an itinerary with honest reasoning behind every choice.
Nothing is fixed until you are happy. We adjust the route, the lodges and the pace until the trip feels right for you.
We handle the bookings, flights and transfers, and stay reachable throughout. You focus on the safari.
Jarryd du Preez spent over a decade in the African bush, qualifying as a field guide and rising to Head Ranger at andBeyond Phinda in KwaZulu-Natal, after years in the Sabi Sands. He has tracked leopard on foot, worked on anti-poaching and rhino-monitoring operations, and guided guests from nervous first-timers to seasoned photographers.
Wild Moments is how he keeps doing what he knows best: putting people in front of the wild places and animals that shaped his own life.
